Sometime last year before all the forclosures and unemployment I was telling my family to stop spending their money and save every penny they aquire.  I didn't see what was going to happen, I just felt it.It really started with me when george w. got his second term.  He kept spending more and more money on that damn war, money he didn't have so he kept telling the citizens to spend more so he can aquire the tax money for the war.  So I decided to stop my wasteful spending.  I started buying energy efficient lighting, turned off & unplugged appiances I wasn't using, and started going to good will and other thrift shops for clothes.  I started my own backyard garden, and shopped the cheapest grocery store possible for other supplies.  During the growing season I would hit all the farmer markets, & other farms for my oganic veges. & fruits, honey, and more.  I do not miss my wasteful spending, and my family is on their way to reduce more of theirs'.
So come today I am still saving, and really the only thing I am wasting money on is my coffee, and my craft project supplies.  Today I just finished my building my 5ft. diameter fire-pit and it only cost my 13 dollars.  I feel it looks professional but I know it's not but its mine and I feel real good about it.  I can always add to it, but right now I can't wait to light my first fire. 
So the plot of this blog is people shouldn't have been so stupid 4 years ago.  I told a bunch of people my theories but they were so pro-bush, and pro-war they couldn't see it coming.  I do feel sorry for those people but they had it coming.  They shouldn't have been so daggone ignorant and really thought before they agreed to 5 thousand dollar mortage payments.   People just need more humility in their lives, and start helping each other again.  Let the grandparents help raise the children so they can learn respect and the value of the dollar.  I don't know why these parents stopped asking for help?  Why they are so much in a hurry to get rich? Why they don't teach the kids to repect others and their property?  Kids need to know that money doesn't grow on trees, you have to work hard and be humiliated and work up the ladder to gain respect.
I am getting myself overheated just thinking about how disrepectful the children are these days.  Generation lazy. They want, want, want, and expect us to fall for their every tantrum.  And the parents are even worse because they give in to their every cry.  I am done with it, if they want something they are going to have to work for it.
