We had a Preacher today at Church, who spoke on how we as a Church and the nation itself, is just medicating ourself, so we can ignore and not feel all the wrong that is going on around us. How true that is. Just about all the morals and values that my parents taught me, are now being abused everyday. This is true on the smallest scale, as our TV today to the largest scale as the war that America is in now. It starts out simple and before you know it, you are sitting amazed at the madness all around. When we do and say nothing, about the wrongs around us, even the little ones can snowball into a big mess. Lets examine that with TV today. When I was growing up the TV shows were clean and family based. Growing up, we watched TV together as a family. You did not have to be on guard when to cover your children's eyes. We have came a long way from -- Happy days, The Brady Bunch, Little House on the Praire and The Waltons, to name a few. These were good shows, with good role models for men and women. Today the men on most Comedy show are portrayed as stupid and the butt of every joke. The Women are nothing but sex objects. Just about every channel has a reality show, that shows women half naked and acting ditzy to get attention . Are these the role models we want for our children and grandchildren(one day)? Do we want our Sons growing up and looked at, as stupid? Do we want our daughters growing up and looked as only sex objects? I do not think so!!!! I'm just giving you something to chew on. Okay, enough of my rantings, give me my Lunesta and I'll just go to sleep. I'm sure when I wake up it will all be better..

Or we can all just pretend that all is well and that one day when we are searching for the Emerald City we will get those ruby red slippers before the Wicked Witch of the West gets them. Then we can click our heels together and we will awake to find that our life was nothing more than a dream and all the time we have been safely tucked in bed asleep ... without the aid of Lunesta. Or so Thinker seems to believe.
I hear you, baby!!!

Hmmm... so much for the idea that "the lion sleeps tonight."
I grew up watching "I Dream of Jeannie." And listening to songs like, "Hey Big Spender." Now you know what's wrong with me. :)
Yes, I like "I Dream of Jeanie" too. How many times I would love to cross my arms and nodd my head and change things exactly the way I want them!!Thanks for your comment....
