AMERICAS NOT CUTE ANYMORE

“Americas Not Cute Anymore”

“Based on my own meandering observations”

By Sheb Schebella

I wake up this morning to sit down at my computer and begin to read the news about back home in America. Nothing there has seemed to change much. Wall Street companies folding, hurricanes heading for the coast, maybe even back to New Orleans to punish all the people that filed for relieve and took the money and went back home to Dallas, who knows who cares. Then there are the 11 million illegal aliens, looking for work in a tired economy as other Americans struggle to keep their home. Yes illegal immigration is not so cute any more now that the economy is disintegrating the middle class. The liberals for the most part aren’t so liberal at the moment. I remember years back before the war in the Iraq & Afghanistan fired back up, I use to read about women’s right activist that wanted to attend the Virginia Military academy and wanted congress to pass a bill that would allow them to fight in the front lines in full combat ready mechanized units. A woman got pissed at me once, well that is not true many women have been pissed at me, but this particular one was upset with me because she asked me how I felt about having women on the front lines with me. I told her I was strongly against it. She rolled her eyes called me a chauvinistic bastard and then asked me why, told me to give her one good reason. I simply stated that in the event I was critically wounded and she was fighting along side me could she carry me out to a safe zone, she replied probably not. It is difficult to talk people in to fighting if you don’t have a “Leave no one behind policy.” But people just don’t seem to think of things like that. As I said however all these people that thought it was cute and noble to establish illegal aliens rights in America and to bitch because they could not fight in the front lines seem to have all gone home, or rather went to go get a second job to pay there mortgage.

 America loves things that are fashionable. When I worked as an engineer it was fashionable to have Martinis with your lunch, then one day it was taboo green tea became the way to be seen. Then it went from coffee that read 7/11 to being seen walking into work with a Star Bucks Macchiato Latte SNAFU. However many Star Bucks in many cities have closed its doors, a $7.oo dollar a day coffee habit is feeling the squeeze.

 Everyone wants to be P.C. well not everyone, just mainly people who believe in Marxism and others unwilling to better themselves as individuals and stand for there own personal believes. America has become too self-conscious and worried about offending others. The other day I wrote a blast about staying in shape; I got 7 emails on how I was being judgmental. People love to use that safety word “Judgmental” it is designed to protect them, it allows them to fit in neatly to what is socially acceptable. Personally I could be labeled a social outcast and could carless, and there have been times I was. In America very few people find it improper to lean over to someone and tell them to put out there cigarette or to simply give advice to a friend that they should stop smoking. However few seem to have the courage to lean over to the same person and say “Why don’t you try to avoid such huge portions of fast food.” I will tell you why because it has become socially acceptable to be obese in America, if someone can keep their ass inside the width of one ax handle then they are still apart of the in crowd. I can’t even wear medium sized shirts anymore in America in many brands because there just huge. When I was younger I new less then a handful of diabetics and they mainly came from my relatives that where in there 50’s who drank and smoked and ate poorly, with one cousin that noticed his diabetes at 9. On my last trip to the states I was introduced to more diabetics in 3 months then I have ever known in my whole life; people’s children under the age of 11 that were over weight and suffered from diabetes. Then there where the parents that would say “Look at Tommy, he is only 8 and he is 107 pounds, he is going to a pro football player.” Poor kid could barely get out of the sand box, that’s because it was his coffin, it was not very cute.
