Just some thoughts...

Trayvon Martin- I know that everyone is talking about this case. George Zimmerman was charged yesterday with 2nd degree murder in the shooting death of Martin. I do believe that the Sanford City Police did the kid's family and injustice by not arresting Zimmerman sooner. The guy killed the kid. This should have been cared for when it happened. Now the entire nation is watching very closely for any screw up.

Work- We were BUSY at work today. Mrs. Knowitall almost started crying because of the stress. I made over 30 bucks for only a couple of hours work. We opened an hour late because someone drove into our big sign up front which the water line happens to be right under. They broke our sign. They broke our water line. It took a while for them to get it running again and then we opened. And then everyone and their grandma showed up. Normally the wait for food is 5 minutes if there are a couple of tables in the restaurant. Today it was 30 minutes. Our restaurant caters to pretty much military only. There are very few civilians that come out to eat. We're located about 15 miles out of town, so it's inconvenient for people to drive all the way out just for food. Now if gas prices were in the $2 range like they were last year or the year before, then it wouldn't be an issue.

Gas Prices- WHAT A SCAM! Now you and I both know that if the companies got their money together, subtracted their salaries, worker salaries, cost of equipment and repairs, they could give gas away for a day or two and then drop the prices a couple dollars for forever. I pay $3.81 per gallon. It costs me over $45 to fill up. The first time I paid for my own gas, it took $25 to fill up. The price has pretty much doubled since I started driving. It makes me wanna sue the gas companies. How dare they take the money I work hard for so they can go on paid vacations to foreign countries? I can barely even afford to drive across town just to hang out with friends. How dare they hike up prices because Iran "threatened" us when they know that we get most of our oil from Canada? How dare they even consider Iran a threat? It's dangerous, I understand, but when the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were officially going on, gas was never this high.

I am going to write something on hypocritical racism pretty soon. I have an ethics class and there are a few people in my class who are "hypocritically racist." And please keep in mind that this is MY OPINION. I don't expect people to read this and be like, "She's right. This is how I'm gonna think FOREVER." I do speak for both sides though, so keep that in mind also. And you may not agree with what I think and you can tell me how you see it. Just don't tell me I'm wrong unless you can back it up with solid proof, okay
Y'all have a good night :)

Oh tomorrow (Friday April 13, 2012) is Honor the Military Child. Wear purple if you can. I'm a military child and I will be wearing purple :)
