Now the previous President however, sounded like an Archie Bunker clone. He could not form a sentence, even when it was written for him. He says he protected us from terrorists......much the same as gang members when they offer their "protection" for $$$$ to line their own pockets IE : Blackwater.
If we are "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" and we are family, then we should look out for each other, instead of the GREED and SELFISHNESS that pervade this nation.
In families, we look out for the sick, and children, and helpless. We do not say "I worked for what I got....you get your own" We help each other.
We do not all start out even in life. Some are born with a "silver spoon".....others cannot afford to go to college. Instead of gloating or flaunting it....how about giving back? Not just monetary wise, but by volunteering to assist others. I am beginning to think that the author of Leisureville is not as far off as some of the members on here think.
The feeling of entitlement in TV is pervasive.
Remember Do unto others as you would like done to you.
Remember too that you cannot take it with you.
AND above all Remember that "THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I"

UH OH.....I spoke bad of the Villages....guess I will be banned
I will concur on the articulate, charming and bright part, but the honesty is well in doubt if you have been paying any attention !!!

And you can say what you want about The Villages...but I KNOW that most folks here are giving and caring people..that is a FACT.

But guess what.....I, at least, do not want the government taking my money to give out to who they see fit...I can do that much better. I also do not think it is a right to go to college, etc...I think that is a privilege earned !!!

Your statment about "The feeling of entitlement in TV is pervasive." is a bit offensive to me as I have no idea where you live but in my 8 years here, the giving and sharing has been light years ahead of anywhere I can think of in this country, and would love you to share how you can justify your accusation of "The feeling of entitlement in TV is pervasive."
