Something to Ponder

Go figure.

We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it.

We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car that will take 5 years to pay off.

We demand speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it can't go over 100 miles an hour.

We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time.

We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces.

We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen-year-old son run wild.

We heavily tax smokers to get them to stop smoking, while subsidizing the tobacco farmer.

We're supposed to be the most civilized nation on earth, but we still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car.

We run from morning to night trying to keep our "earning power" up with our "yearning power."

We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we can make more money so we can move back to the farm.

In the office we talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when we are out at the game, the mall or on the lake, we talk about business.

We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but mumble through half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner".

We buy oil from countries that hate us, and sell our oil to the country that almost destroyed our Navy.

We whip any enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs.


Think about that!!!!!!!!
