What happened to the values our country used to have?

Hello again to you faithful few who come here for whatever your reasons!

I'm going to take a step back and just give you some questions to ponder, things that have been running through my mind. I don't have concrete answers to these questions, but I have my own opinions to each of these.


Think about these things, and let me know what you think. Answer one or two, or answer all of them if you wish. Let your voice be heard.

These questions are in no particular order, but rather just randomly popping out of my evil little head.

*If you are going to benefit from Obama's redistribution of wealth, why do you deserve it?

*If you agree with Obama and redistribution of wealth, how much of your yearly income are you currently giving to people who have less than you?

*If you're not giving anything, why should someone else be forced to and you shouldn't?

*Does the American public have the same moral values it did 50 years ago? 20? 10?

*What happened to the value in having a good work ethic?

*Are "poor Americans" really "poor"?

*Do I have the right to tell you how to spend your free time? What about your money?

*What one thing would you most like to see President Elect Obama do in his term?

*At what point is someone considered "rich"?

*Should the media in all of its forms be moderated and forced to give both sides of an argument, or should we leave things as they are?

*At what point does freedom of speech conflict with "fairness" and/or the power of the dollar?

*Are the bailouts of the financial institutions and the auto industry good for our country and the value of the American dollar?

*Does JFK's quote "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" have any meaning in the society of today?

Think these over. Some of them you may not care about. Others you may have some real passion for. A handful or more I'm sure many people have never even pondered.

Tell me, readers. I want to know what you think. I want us to to be able to have a discussion, debate or discourse.
