A little rant........

OK, so I've been watching the news after the whole hurricane thing and I am SOOO tired of hearing people complain that the government is not doing enough to help them. I mean come on people! I know you're going through tough times, but be grateful you live in this country where you CAN get help. Next time be preapared before a hurricane hits, or better yet, maybe you should move! How would you like to live in Myanmar where they had 1000's of people die from a typhoon? Did their government help them? Did they get their houses rebuilt? Did they get free food/water? NO! Or how about China after that big earthquake? Do you think they can sue their government because they didn't get there FAST enough? NO! Or how would you like to live in the Congo and fall asleep EVERYnight worrying that the next day your little boy may be kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier or that your little girl will be kidnapped and gang raped? Or how would you like to live in Ethiopia and watch your child DIE of an illness that can easily be cured, but your government does not provide the healthcare that ours does? Wake up people and be glad you live in America. For all of our problems, messed up laws, messed up healthcare system, high gas prices, and whatever, this is still the best place in the world to live. So quit complaining. Be happy you live in a country where you can sue anyone for whatever you want, where you can become an instant millionare if a family member dies, where you can own a home even if you have no money, where you can live the lifestyle of the rich when you're in debt, and where you can say whatever you want (so long as its politically correct, of course...).
