Little off subject

Last couple of days have been fun. My son-in-law, his friend and myself installed a new A/C unit for my house. Its great! Makes breathing much easier to do. I live in the mountains at about 4k' and its very dry here. So breathing becomes a challenge.

Been watching some TV and I've noticed the usual "that politician sucks more than I do commercials". I'm 53 and in my lifetime I have payed attention to politics since I was 18. I have always voted for the person that I thought would do the job right. This time though I'm probably going to vote for an independent. I'm tired of watching Democrats and Republicans ruin this country further in the name of "We are right".
They both have agendas of their own that have nothing to do with what the people want. Both parties in my opinion have lost touch with the people of America. Last election Obama said "Its time for change". Yes its time for change alright, its time America woke up and voted all incumbents out!
Ahh well I don't want to waste to much on that subject, just wanted to vent a little.

On another note, I don't understand people much anymore. Seems to me that with lung cancer being the #1 killer out of all the cancers, we'd be spending more money on a cure right? Oh no, thats right I forgot, society thinks that if you have lung cancer you asked for it because you smoked right?

Wrong! Alot of the people with lung cancer have never smoked in their life! Personally I did smoke, I smoked for 27 years. So what? First of all if smoking is that dam bad for you and society doesn't like smoking then why the hell do we make it? I'll tell  you why, MONEY! Its easier to vilify me than to try to shut down a tobacco company. Why, we would put people out of work if we shut down tobacco companies! My goodness what would they do for a living? Its easier to call me stupid for smoking in the first place than to close a tobacco company! Yeah right, smokers have paid more money for cancer research then anyone else in the nation. Not only that but I have my own health insurance. Thank God, because our wonderful society would rather let me just die. I brought it on myself right? Lets not mention that while serving my country in the Navy I was exposed to asbestos. Or how about when I worked for a government shipyard and I was exposed to asbestos? It doesn't matter that when I worked for the federal government as a maintenance worker for 20 some odd years that every day I was exposed to asbestos. Nope that doesn't matter all.

I feel sorry for our country, not only have we turned into hypocrites, but now we're poking our faces in everyone else's  business in the world like we know whats best for them...what a joke.
