I don't know you, but I feel closer to you then some in my own extended family. So much as this has been on my mind lately wondering how many folks have turned from God or never really bothered to know him. I am a gramma, a white one (well mostly white) and seen a lot in my life. When I see some of the young people black and white waiting for their handouts in videos, I wonder what are their grandparents, great grandparents or maybe even parents are thinking. I know some of their hearts must be breaking. Just because I'm against what the president stands for I've been more or less called a racist which really surprised and hurt me. Of course I believe in helping the needy and the elderly but when I have to work extra hours to keep up and I see young healthy people wanting everything from phones to childcare I get tired. We were raised living from pay check to pay check and my parents idea was when the rough gets going the tough gets going. I made it without all those extras. I knew some young people are set bad examples, but part of maturing is knowing whatever decisions they make, are going to make their life. If that handout is not there and they are hungry they will work to eat. We are hurting the children by not letting them grow up and grow responsible. Now that I am a senior, I am afraid if I need surgery I will get a pill instead like the president said back in 2007 or 8. I wish you could be in politics so your message could reach a lot of young people that need a good positive leader. I will share your words and hope it reaches someone that really needs it. Thanks for being you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320174052468033552.post-86197697641366659312011-10-05T22:56:56.005-07:002011-10-05T22:56:56.005-07:00Thank you... and thanks for taking the time to com...Thank you... and thanks for taking the time to comment.<br /><br />Vanessa<br />Following HarrietAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320174052468033552.post-58045397749410164402011-10-04T18:47:19.517-07:002011-10-04T18:47:19.517-07:00I saw the link to your blog via a FB friend - and ...I saw the link to your blog via a FB friend - and I'm glad I did. you are expressing what I think on so many subjects - and I really like your writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
