63 and I'm Tired

By Robert A. Hall

I'm 63. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a

six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've

worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in

50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a

good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get

where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm

tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who

don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take

the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to

earn it.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day

I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and

daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight

offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't

"believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning

teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the

genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and

Shariâ law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must

let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic

schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor

Canadian group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in

Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global

warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help

support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ

rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses

while they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both

parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes, or youthful

mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught.

I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and

actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination

or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not

going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just really sorry for

my grandchildren.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it

on! This is your chance to make a difference. " I'm 63 and I'm tired.

If you don't forward this you are part of the problem.
