This should be
required reading for every man, woman and child:
I'm 83. Except for brief period in
the 50's when I was doing my National
Service, I've worked hard since I was
17. Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and
didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't
inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy,
it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very
tired.
I'm
tired of being told that I have to
"spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being
told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and
give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm
tired of being told that Islam is a
"Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men
killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims
rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews
because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of
Muslims stoning
teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims
mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the
Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm
tired of being told that out of
"tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and
other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques
and madrassa Islamic
schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand UK, America and Canada, while no
one from these countries are allowed to
fund a church, synagogue or religious
school in Saudi
Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love
and tolerance..
I'm
tired of being told I must lower my
living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to
debate.
I'm
tired of being told that drug
addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the
damage they do. Did a giant germ
rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and
stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they
tried to fight it off?
I'm
tired of hearing wealthy athletes,
entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes,
stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only
mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement,
rich or poor.
I'm really
tired of people who don't take
responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the
government, or discrimination
or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm
also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early
20's be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves
un-employable and claiming money from the Government.
Yes, I'm
damn tired. But I'm also
glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these
people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their
children.
Thank God
I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
There
is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it
on!
This is your
chance to make a difference.

I'm 83 and I'm tired. If you don't forward this you are part of the
problem".
