62 Times around upside down

This is the day Kadizzle turns 62. Kadizzle has ridden the planet around the sun 62 times. This is the day the Earth stands vertical. This is the day in 1976 Kadizzle married The Commander.

Kadizzle's biggest revelation today is the world he has been ridding around the sun is upside down. A big bonus for the Kadizzles will occur in about an hour. Kadizzle will walk over to the Zion Park office and get his pass for ten dollars that will entitle him free admittance to all national parks and half priced camping. This week will be half priced. Although Kadizzle will love the bonus, it is a prime example of our upside down world. Why do old fat guys get half price when young people trying to pay their way through college pay full price? Sure some old people need a break, but the vast majority are doing just fine in their pricey RV. Why do people who make over $106,000 dollars quit paying social security, while those making less pay the 7% ? Why would any country give 700 billion in tax breaks to the richest 2% while forty million Americans have no health insurance? Yup the world is upside down. The average person in India uses two gallons of gas PER YEAR. Kadizzle like most Amricans goes through that much in thirty minutes. People spend millions on a fancy church when there are people living in poverty within a mile of the church.

Maybe on this trip around the sun the planet will flip and we will care more about the poor than the rich, maybe we will realize what we have done to our young by robbing them of a future, maybe we will care more about the others that share this planet, maybe we will quit with our phony religion and actually care about our fellow man. Maybe this year we will spend more time paying attention to reality and less time watching sports. Hopefully year 63 can be a year of change. Maybe Kadizzle could lose some weight. Well here we go on the next trip around the sun.
