The Environment

Now I'm all for jumping on the bandwagon about cleaning up the air and ridding our landfills of all the plastic that we seem to use. Good grief just one of those plastic bags that you bring your groceries home in takes 1000 years to disenagrate. And face it, we never have just one. Three or four is more like it.

That being said. I'm tired of the celebrities jumping on us, the American people to do something. Like they don't do anything? Excuse me but have you ever watched the award shows? How many of them show up, alone, in a limo? Do you know what it takes to run one of those?

And what about all of the celebrities that fly? Or worse, have their own planes. We're supposed to do without just about everything so they can just be glad they spoke up?

Here's an idea. How about the next year at the Academy Awards, they all show up in one of the diesel bus's that the country/western stars seem to have? Wouldn't that be great? To see all of the stars pile out like school children one by one in their tuxedos and one of a kind dresses?

Seriously, it's really hard to WANT to do anything once a celebrity gets involved. They all think they're so special. I would love to see just how many lights are left on at one of their homes they only use on occasion. And do you think their gardens go unattended because they're not there? HA!!! They get watered just like my backyard yet I'm the one thats supposed to feel bad that we're running out of everything. Well I don't even drive so right there by not owning a car I'm doing probably more than just about any celebrity is don't you think?

Sure, we should all do something to help with the environment. Use recycled paper towels (which cost a fortune) Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Now that is a good idea because you use eight gallons of water from the time you turn the faucet on till you turn it off. That's a lot of water that you really don't need to be using.

We can replace the light bulbs in our home. Replace just one and you'd be amazed at how much that helps. Really.

There are a lot of things we, as the normal American people can do. But the movie stars as far as I'm concerned. Well they can start picking each other up when they're staring in the same movie. Ride that bus I was talking about to the award shows, turn off THEIR lights and water while not at home and get off my back.

Just Imus???

Well, he's finally gone and done it. Yep, that famous (or at least one of the shock jocks) Imus was fired for racial comments he made over the air. I think this is actually good. I don't like most of the shock jocks anyway and to be honest, I thought Stern would get nailed first. However, it was Imus. But here's what gets me.

Imus ISN'T the only one. What about all the black people that are racial? What about those Rappers like Snoop Dogg, P Diddy and Ice T? Doesn't anyone remember the song Cop Killer? I do and I wouldn't allow it in my home. With all the rappers singing about Hos and screwing around and murder and gangs, it's no wonder the kids of today are desensitized. Why should anything bother them?

And then what about the comedians? Have you heard Chris Rock or early Eddie Murphy? Have you heard any comedian actually? And it's not just the guys, Kathy Giffin is really disguesting and Roseanne can be just as crude. It's everywhere and guess what? So our the kids we're raising.
What really kills me is that we, as parents, allow the music to be brought into our homes. Allow the kids to watch these movies that they're just not ready for.

No, Imus is a start but if we're going to jump down his throat then lets start jumping down the rappers throats as well as the comedians. I also think (and yes, this is my View) that the N word should be banned from anyone being allowed to say it whether it's in a song, a joke or to each other.

Imus? What Imus said over the air he heard from a song. Which rapper would like to take the credit for the lyrics? Lets see them stand up now.

I'm Annie and that's my View. I welcome yours.

My View on some of the things going on

This will probably tick off a lot of people but I don't think we should have any type of working permits for the illegals in this country. Hello, they're not even supposed to be here. Now before you write me a scathing letter telling me that the country was FOUNDED on illegals. I know that. However, none of them snuck into the country. They all worked. Yes, worked. They didn't sit on their bums and collect checks from the government but rather, they actually got working Visas and well, worked.
Our President says we should do this. Well, we should also turn into 17 year old boys and pull out of this country we're fighting over in but He won't do that either. There are a lot of things we should do but haven't. We should have helped the people right after the Katrina debacle but did we? No.

Sadly, I'm just not really happy right now with the war, and the situations going on here in America.

I do think if you really WANT to be here you should be. But I also feel you should work and not under the table either. You should learn the language as well.
So there you go. My View and I welcome yours
