Life is Good

Kadizzle pried open his wallet and bought a third Sonos speaker. Now music, and whatever can be commanded to play anywhere in the house.  How far have we come from the ancient times when a big reel to reel tape recorder was the ultimate music device? From the phone Kadizzle can play Public Radio in the Bedroom while music flows from Spotify in the kitchen.  Life is good.  So many simple pleasures exist that leaving home is getting harder.  Soon it will be time to get cooked in the shower. Of course there will be music to accompany the hot water that will dissolve the night.

Most of us never appreciate how we live.  On a planetary basis we are probably in the top one tenth of one percent.  The rest of the planet can eat weeds, and use cow dung to cook, but we took it all and live the life of kings.  While some poor guy in Africa is trying to get one cow we are  collecting cars.  What kind of God set this mess up.  Of course it was a loving God that gives a guy in India two gallons of gas for a year and gives me two gallons of gas each week to cut my grass.  The guy in India feeds his grass to his cow, I throw mine in the creek.  Who cares, we are all good loving Christians, and we get to eat ninety percent of the pizza because god loves us.  God knows what is best.  It is best if those in other non Christian countries starve, that is only fair.  We do what we can to help the poor, but lord have mercy we have bills to pay to.  If those guys in India living on grain kernels think I can get my house cleaned for free they better keep thinking.  The guy just sprayed the yard, that cost money.  Does poor old Mr. Africa want me to get bitten by a bug and die?  Being rich has a lot of responsibility, because we have to decide what the poor get.  Sometimes we just get them a bomb, because they piss us off.  In our country anyone can be rich all you have to do is buy a lottery ticket.  If underdeveloped countries would just accept Jesus and put lottery ticket machines in the stores problem solved.  The biggest problem is these third world countries have failed at trickle down.  Just look at South America, they gave everything to the rich, and the trickle never came. They just did not do it right.  When we get The Donald in the White House we are going to have some serious trickling and you will have to work at being poor.
