It seems to me that Tiger Woods wants his life back. It starts with a statement (without questions) today. It will be a lifetime of dealing with reference to smut, sluts, and sleeze.
It seems to me that you are really angry at the IRS when you write a 3000 word suicide note and then fly your airplane into the local IRS office. My anger never reaches that point but I know that "fairness" seems to be disappearing from the tax process and it is so complex (even with computer software programs) that no-one can understand it.
It seems to me that if the government is going to use my tax dollars wisely, building train service between Milwaukee and Madison is not part of the consideration. Couldn't the money be better used to reduce debt, create incentive for people to build their own businesses or provide tax relief. Hello!
It seems to me that the political "hacks" that scream "global warming" don't know what they are talking about. I am for a clean environment and acting responsibly about pollution. No-one and I mean no-one completely undersands the evolving "world" environment. I have heard estimates as high as 1 new coal fueled electric power plant is "coming on stream" each day. Have you ever seen the smoke coming from a coal plant. China is doing just as it pleases. Somehow my recycling a plastic bottle seems insignificant.
It seems to me that the Russian male figure skater that finished second to the American skater in the Olympics is a poor loser. He has his "shorts in a bunch" because the American couldn't do a "quad jump". Excuse me! There are almost 7 minutes of other skating that count too.
It seems to me that the participants of the Olympics are more concerned about fame and fortune than trying to excel at their sport. Lindsay Von (the female downhill skier) won gold with the first of 5 events, is projected to realize $50 million over the next few years. Of course doing a bikini photo-shoot for Sports Illustrated didn't hurt. Shawn White, the snow board expert, has turned his gold medals in the "half-pipe" into an $8 million per year business. No wonder athletes cry when they lose.
It seems to me that I am the only sane person in this world with clarity of perception. Why doesn't the whole world see things as clearly as me? Oh well!
The lesson Grasshoppers is that everything is not as it seems. It pays to think for yourself.
Love,
Dad
