Why are We scared of the Future

There are a lot of you that think this country is going in the wrong direction. You know who you are... But I have heard from a lot of people that they are scared this country is turning into a socialist government. First of all everybody who went to public school or a state college or university, likes that there is a person who will fight a fire when the time comes, or ever feels safe when they see a police officer on patrol you need to remember that these things are all part of the nice socialist/capitalistic government that we all love. since we have public education and a fire crew and police force who are paid by taxes and everyone no matter their rank in society gets the same treatment as the next person. The worry now is that the universal health care system that is used in most of the 1st world countries in this big world will cross the 2 big oceans and take over the country that does have a universal health care system for the people that are over 65 years of age. The people that use medicare are all taking money from one pot and using what they need just like in every other country that has universal health care. we should not fear something that is always being used in this country for the elderly. we should be looking at the way our taxes are being used. As an American that pays a lot of taxes I would love to see my money go to causes that are going to help me and health care is one of the ways that i would like to use my tax dollars. as shown in the clip from It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia it shows the way that i feel about our system as it is currently. please watch and enjoy.

People in Utah and the Red Sox




I am from Utah as most of you know and I love sports. I am not a fanatic but not a casual observer either and i know of the success of the sports teams in Boston the last couple of years. knowing this and being from Utah I see everything Boston. Boston hats, Boston stickers on the back of cars, and the Boston t-shirts, jerseys and everything else that can be sold so that a team from across the country can make a buck. I know what you are saying this always happens when a team starts to win (I did grow up in the Micheal Jordan years of basketball and the Brave era of baseball) people are going to jump on the band wagon and love whatever team they can see winning a title. but the last couple of years there has been this thing for Boston. The Patriots, the Celtics and the Red Sox are all over all everything even in the west even though the Bruins are never mentioned poor poor Bruins.
I mean we should have pride in sports that is one thing that never changes in this world is sports. But there is one thing that I need to say with all of the sports team and towns in the world we need to stay out of Boston. yes you might say New York and L. A. are big names too but the Yankees win and have won since the day they started and L. A. is close enough you could go watch an game and still be back to Utah in one weekend.
This is also a problem because it takes away from the Jazz we have a team in Utah that has been in the playoffs of most of the last two decades and people will still wear Celtics stuff rather than the Jazz. please support the Jazz they are the only team that we have and if we support them we might get bigger and better players and also maybe even a football or baseball team.
