I'm not here to convince you to vote for Donald Trump or Hillery Clinton or any other presidential hopeful, mainly because my guess is that 98% of the basement dwellers that end up reading this stream of conscienceness rant won't vote. However, I am here to rant about my thoguhts on the state of the union. First of all, we have to understand that peace, unity, and the luxury of being lazy and willfully ignorant are very frigile things. We don't have the right to say what we want or do what because of how nice of a country we are, no no no, we have earned these pleasures by being bad asses and making the rest of the world understand that we are better than they are. This isn't a bad thing or a rude thing, but rather something that reminds me of something that my mother and I'm sure many of your mother used to tell me. If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, but teach him to fish and you feed him for a life time. What are we doing when we bring people in with no hope for being intigrated into society and give them free food and shelter other that giving him fish after fish. Now consider this. instead of just creating a larger welfare state that us tax payers have to pay for, what if we create a society that others can look upon and strive to be. Over the years, in an attempt to emulate us we will have taught the world to fish. Foreign policy aside, I believe a lot of these pricipels can be applied to domestic ideals as well. Why should we incentivise not working, or give you money being you had to many children and weren't responsible. If population control and our carbon foot print is really such a big deal, why to we continue to enact policies that make it easier and in most case allow people to benifit from creating a larger population, and there for creating a larger carbon foot print? Any way, that's what was on my mind, rant over.
