Integrity? NOT!

I'm getting truly disgusted with some of these commercials. Two struck a nerve last night.

Little Halo Oranges

The little kid in the commercial catches his dad picking up one of his Halo Oranges and immediately adopts a posture of accusation. Dad asks if it's okay if he has one of the kid's Halos and the kid comes back with a smart mouthed response. 

 How selfish can that little brat be? He has a whole box of them! 
Not to mention that he probably didn't pay for them--his dad probably bought them. 
But how about how disrespectful to the man the kid is? If I ever used that tone or used that smart mouth, I would have no mouth to speak with today.

So....The company that markets Little Halo Oranges is condoning DISRESPECT  and SELFISHNESS.

Chevy Tahoe

 This ad shows a girl being driven home after she finishes babysitting. The mother of the children pulls out her wallet to pay this young girl, and clarifies that it's $40. Now that's a whole lot of money for a babysitting gig to begin with; but on the drive home the girl is checking out all the features on the Tahoe and decides that $40 isn't enough, and asks for $60. This is wrong on so many levels! Do I have to even go into any of these levels? We don't get paid by how much an employer is worth! We get paid on the basis of how much the employer thinks we are worth. Sometimes it's not enough, and sometimes it's too much, but never, ever, ever is a person supposed to jack up a fee because it looks like the payer can afford it. What if the payer looked at the girl's clothes and just decided she should get $20 instead of $40? Wouldn't that cause an outcry? Either way it's GREED in it's simplest form.

So...the company marketing the Chevy Tahoe is condoning GREED.

 And that's what I think......................

Jeb Bush--How Dare You!!

I tried to post this on Jeb Bush's website, but apparently the site accepts nothing but pleasant fluff... So I am posting this open message here, and if anyone knows how to get Jeb Bush's attention, please direct him to this site.  Jeb Bush : HOW DARE YOU!  First of all, let me make this perfectly clear: Having the last name of Bush does not entitle you to the presidency--contrary to what your family believes. But that's not the primary issue here. The issue is this: How DARE you try to take Medicare away from the people who worked hard and paid into it for years! You called it entitlements. Handouts. Want to talk about entitlements? Handouts? HANDOUTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Six-figure retirement package. 2. Guaranteed medical coverage for life. 3. Medical coverage for spouse for life. 4. Secret Service protection for retired official. 5. Secret Service protection for said official's spouse and family.  DEFINITION OF ENTITLEMENTS: Things that

Government Shutdown

This seems to be the talk at every gathering, every dinner table, and everywhere else these days. In my opinion, it's despicable, not to mention unprofessional and childish. Shutting down the government because a group doesn't like a program is just like taking your ball and going home because you don't  like the rules. And if non-essential workers are furloughed, why is Congress still there? Oh....that's right. It's non-essential workers---not non-productive workers. Now here are some of the departments and agencies that are considered NON-ESSENTIAL: CDC--Center for Disease Control . Nope. I guess that's not important. They only identify diseases and their sources, which could stop an epidemic. It's too bad they can't stop the epidemic of Congressional Stupidity. Labor Department --Well, I guess if nobody is working, this department isn't needed. EPA--Environmental Protection Agency . Oh well hell, we don't need this. Filthy air and

What is Happening?

What happened to America? Where did the United States go?  Tearing families apart, throwing crying, screaming children into cage-like facilities?  MY GOD, PEOPLE! WHY ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN? ICE and now the Border Patrol behaving like the Nazi enforcers in Hitler's Germany! SO WRONG! Joe Kennedy III said it correctly: HUMANITY has nothing to do with a green card, a visa, or citizenship.  It has to do with the treatment of people.  AND THERE IS NO HUMANITY IN THIS BEHAVIOR!!  OH. MY. GOD!! Children screaming and crying as they are being yanked away from their parents is HORRIFIC!!! THIS IS NO LONGER THE UNITED STATES!  THIS BEHAVIOR DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT WAS ONCE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! SO SAD! EVERYBODY NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR HUMANITY-- RIGHT NOW!! LET''S GET OUR PRIDE IN AMERICA BACK!!!  RIGHT NOW!!! And that's what I think................
