Could Spring come a little sooner?


Where should a person live?  It seems people on the East coast discover Florida. Kadizzle likes the tropical climate of Florida, but would not live there on a bet, too damn flat and no real outdoor life. Then you have the Northwest, very nice, but everyone complains of the rain, and cloudy weather. Talked to little sister this morning. She said Portland is overrun with people living in tents and the city has gone to hell. 

Our country is becoming a third world country. Either you have a stash of cash or you don't.  If you gold pile is slim you are doomed to be a cleaning lady, work at McDonalds til you die, or move into a tent. Greed has driven our quality of life so far backwards. Here in Arizona you have what might be called social security camps. People on the edge living on the edge. Old people live in double wide, or Park Model tents. Once Republicans successfully destroy social security Medicare and the rest to give the money to the rich there will be a lot of starving old goats. Old people have always been easy picking for Republicans. Old people scare easy, and Kadizzle can testify the brain turns to fudge. 

Look at any country in South America and you will see the future of the United States. Some dictator like Trump runs the country and protects the rich.  The drug dealers run wild, and the peasants run to our border. Soon we may be running to New Zealand or some country that has embraced a good life for everyone, not just the wealthy. Meanwhile the poor are dynamiting themselves out at the casino. At the grocery store the busted flat guy buys his groceries, complains about the prices then buys twenty bucks worth of lottery tickets. Same night Willy takes Marth to the Tea Party to hear the mess blamed on Biden. There is always money for a tattoo or a Trump flag, plus a pack of weeds for eight dollars. Add Jesus to the mix and let the church steal ten percent, you got a perfect storm of poverty. Ah, make America great again, give everyone a few lottery tickets. 

Since this is a bitch roll lets throw in dogs. Kadizzle loves dogs. They are so much like humans, but, but, lets not go nuts. Here in Payson we might have the dog capital of the world. Everyone has at least one dog and many two. While children in the world starve we feed dogs, buy them hundred dollar collars, and spend more time walking dogs than reading to children. Every car in Payson has a dog's head hanging out the window. God bless the person who empties the containers of dog waste at the park. Dogs are substitute children that always stay two years old. Growing up there was never a two acre store devoted to dog food, but now? In the grocery store there is an entire isle devoted to pet crap. Are we nuts? Yes. The money pissed away at the casino, and on pets could save the world, but lets just get into our magic state of oblivion and get another tattoo. 

How about education? Are we dumb enough? Maybe not, lets send the kids to some private religious school to keep them away from science and common sense. Take the money from the real schools and give it to the Jesus gang. How's that workin for ya? Look at the tent cities and the people under the bridge.
