    Why do "other countries" get to "rape" the U.S.A.?

    I have noticed that other countries are allowed GREAT DEALS on resources that are part of the U.S.A.

    The latest brought to light is this.



    I have heard of many "things" that have been going on over the years.

    Japan getting BIG trees for a dollar each.

    Russia has a plant near me that makes farm equipment.

    The Chinese have many properties including old naval bases.

    WHY do the sheeple allow themselves to be raped simply put?

    Why do the masses listen to the lies of the so called leaders?

    Answer must be much the same as why people gamble when the odds are against them.

    all they have are their dreams......

    Don't have enough to pay the bills but I can double it or more at the casino.

    Or maybe try the lotto as I feel lucky and God owes me a favor.......

    It seems that very few grow up and mature beyond their beloved fantasy and fictional realities.

    I find it very sad.

    As William Shakespeare wrote:



    People are acting and most are not the best at it.

    Those that thrive in their acting are most times liars and cheats.

    or the court jester to give the court a laugh.

    Is that supposed to be you or me?

    Remember that it's a backwards world in my opinion.

    Gentle laughter. Which of us lives in the junkyard and is always grumping about the state of the world ?

    If you went to a fancy restaurant and was eating and found some bugs in your food would you be grumping if you didn't like the bugs in your food?

    A man was standing on the corner hitting his head with a 2x4.

    A crowd collected up around him.

    After awhile it was decided that someone should find out what was going on.

    The man was asked why he was hitting himself with the 2x4.

    He quit for a moment, smiled and said,

    "because it feels so good when I quit"

    That's been going on since I was a child and I'm pushing 70. I went through there when I was about 15 and those dam farms were everywhere, and most of em you'd better not get close to if you wanted to live, even then.

    "Nothing new under the sun" sums it up.

    It seems that most people try and believe that if they ignore what bothers them that it will go away like "magic".

    A guy I know told me once that "normal people are not supposed to be happy"

    He was perplexed by me and the way I live.

    As I go out and about these days I notice that most of the people I come across are trying to do their best to ACT normal.

    I can see their pain within their denial.

    If you can't understand yourself, how can you understand others.

    If you don't like or love yourself, how can you like or love others?

    About 7% of the worlds people "own" and or control over 90% of everything.

    Those "odds" don't change much over the years.

    The reason for that is where the true answers are found.

    Most would rather "try" and ignore the odds they can't and won't understand.

    I have a great understanding of WHY the world is as it is.

    I still have a problem understanding WHY the many choose to be the way they choose to be.

    The so called scriptures give some idea of the way people are, but not WHY they choose what they choose.

    Fantasy and fiction are what most worship it seems.

    BINGO
