Camelot.........or not!

Yesterday my 16 year old had some questions: 1) Have you seen how much grey hair the President has since 9/11? 2) Why is the media only focused on the negative side of humanity? 3) Why does our desire to be "uncensored" make things worse? 4) What is wrong with this country?
I wanted to cry.....She was livid. Obviously, a button had been pushed and there was no turning this heart-broken Crisis Vigilante around. I wanted to tell her to click her heels together three times and say Coca Cola commercial.....Coca Cola commercial. She was pacing and ranting and I wondered just how burdened she actually felt. She repeatedly questioned our success at democracy and fairness in the United States. It was a conversation/debate on whether this was something new or old. My younger daughter chimed in that each generation had its way to express filth and disrespect and their own way of justifying it. Everyone agreed that not one particular generation was to blame and the media was an untrustworthy source for truth. I was rendered without a cure, or a band-aide to fix this festering boo boo. Momma could even get special cartoon character band-aides but they are "pornographic and half-naked because of our lack of moral standards".

Hi!
I couldn't find a place to comment and your last blog was just a T, are you okay?
Hope to see you in cyberspace again, soon.

It's comforting to me that there are other folks out there who have daydream vomit running down their chin. I'm a breast cancer survivor, age 44. Don't make me pull that card.

You wrote the comment to one of my posts on my blog. What does it mean?

Did you read any of my other posts. If so, you would have known that I am battling a similar battle and have just finished 48 weeks of chemo.

I had no idea you started a blog of your own! I love it! Thanks for keeping up on my blog. I love reading other people's thoughts, and I like to have a place to write down my own thoughts, so I am addicted. Gage says "Hi Great Aunt Sue!"
