If Kids, A Home, Living In America and Religion Are So Important, Then Why Are So Many People So Bitter And Spiteful?
If having kids, owning a home, living in America and believing in God are such important things, then why are so many people who do all four of these things so bitter?
I have no problem with any of these things, but if they are as much as we are so often told they are, why are not people more happy and less spiteful.
Maybe folks should think about things that would help them be less angry and more helpful to others than just the things we have always been told matter most.
If we engaged in such reflective thinking, then maybe we would better enjoy all aspects of our lives.
Maybe kids, a home, our country, and people’s God would have fuller meaning if we gave more thought to what a complete life really is about.
How Come I’m Willing To Pay Taxes For Schools, Even Though I Don’t Have Kids, While Many Parents Vote Against School Taxes?
How come I’m willing to pay whatever taxes are required for good schools–even though I don’t have kids–while many people who have had kids vote against school bond issues and bitch about any tax increase?
Working People Resisting Efforts To Make Sure They Have Health Insurance Is So Stupid
Average working people resisting efforts by President Obama to make sure they are able to get health insurance is one of the most stupid things I have ever seen.
I’m just not sure what more I can say on this matter.
Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
