We as Americans long to find new gimmicks to loose weight. Yet in the same day, we drive around for who knows how long, looking for that empty parking spot closest to the entrance.
We are willing to pay hundreds of not thousands of dollars on pills to help us be healthier, yet we simply refuse to exercise or eat properly.
We as Americans strive with all our might to progress ourselves, yet in doing so, we never take the time to enjoy what we have or what time we have had.
We as Americans want to provide the highest level of education to our Children (though in most cases, to raise our ranking on charts rather than to better our Children's future), yet we think we can take a single book and a "Teaching Plan" and properly teach every different mind. We sit back idly and allow our tax money to be spent on whatever our government says is the right thing and do nothing to help our teachers to get the pay scale that can provide them an ample income. We even sit back and gripe of how a school system can justify the expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars on simple small metal roofs to replace an ailing one and do nothing to stop the robbery that is a crime unto our children and ourselves.
We as Americans need to take a few steps back.
We need to take time to enjoy those little moments of time we have here and there.
We need to need to actually think of ourselves (NOT what we call thinking of ourselves and buying extravagant junk or such) and spend more time and less money on our health and well-being.
We need to stand up! WE need to stand up to wrong in our government and it's processes. WE need to say NO! WE need to make our voice so prominent that fear of being seen as a common criminal will force our politicians to hear us.
Mostly, we Americans need to be Americans. We need to stop dividing ourselves by whatever standards you do so in your own life. We need to all be Americans and all be proud to be called Americans.
I am a Cherokee man. I am a southern man. I'm even a redneck by Jeff Foxworthy's standards, but as I am many things combined, I am an American!
