A little commentary about some subjects that may or may not disturb people here in Massachusetts and else where for today!
First, let me say this, Massachusetts, has it’s problems in many ways. It wants to increase it’s population, but has numerous problems controlling it’s citizens, and it’s tax rates. Crime in this state rises, and then towns decide they want to improve, so they attract Senior Citizens and build condos and then sell them and then tax the buyers out of them, for projects they can’t afford. That my friends is stupid, it is like a double edge sword to it’s own purpose of attracting the Seniors in the first place.
Next, let me address a common problem I have run into in Massachusetts, the popular called Massaholes so to say. let me say this clearly so I am not misunderstood, there is no need or want or any other reason for this to be. People are strange here, and mean and argumentative too. They do not accept new people coming into their state for whatever reason. Secondly, the citizens here, seem to think, they rae better than anyone else in the nation, and they are always right when they are not. Politics plays a factor here too, but, it is not as strong as this Massahole bullshit going round. Wake up folks, you can’t call for people to come to your state, to increase the population and tax base, then, tax us back out and get away with it. Sonner or later you will find, we wake up and leave, in mass exoduses. Is that what you want here, just the money you can squeeze out of people?
The Massahole affect goes deeper than you think, it is in your attitudes toward one another and strangers too. You shut people out, ignore people, fight and argue with people too. Grow up here will you! Just because someone does not think the same as you, doesn’t mean we are wrong or right, it means we have our own ideas and opinions too. Accept that will you, please and stop thinking your shit doesn’t stink! There is no excuse for the rudeness, arrogance, anger, that comes out of the Massaholes! None, it drives people away, it affects people emotionally and mentally too. Wake up! The coldness, and anger towards others is really nasty in Massachusetts and it is bad for the state and it’s citizens too.
Third problem, as I was discussing with others in online chat rooms and blogs and more, the loneliness factor here in Massachusetts, is huge. The dating scene in this state is sad. Look, whatever happened to approaching someone and saying, I like you, I like your looks, or your personality, want to have dinner or a coffee, I would like to know you? It seems in this state that is looked at as being too forward or rude or too demanding, why? Please explain that one, ladies and gentlemen, please. I have no idea, how this state even accomplishes the task of repopulating itself, if people push you away for asking someone out or liking someone. It’s stupid and if you think someone just wants you for you money, well, that is not the case always. The other thing I have noticed is Massachusetts has more narcists then anywhere I have lived or been, why? It is a sad thing to see and one has to watch out for these people, they don’t care for anyone but themselves. This Massahole attitude and problem extends into public places and worst of all on the roads, when your driving at times. Wake up, Massachusetts!
The state already has what I believe is the highest tax rate in the nation, maybe not exactly but close to it. Now I want to remind all, a new Administration is coming into power in Washington, DC and with it comes problems like never before. They intend to tariff to death our neighbors Canada and Mexico, tariff other countries to control them and try to make America first once more. I am tired of this bullshit of Make America, Great Again, it’s crap. I will remind all Americans, I was born here, I will die here, I defended this country and gave my health for it too, for 16 years, America has always been great! Why, because we have the right to Vote, to Free Speech, and a Constitution unlike any other. We have The Bill of The Rights and protections for our people. We take care of one another in many ways. We still have the best of almost everything in the world. The most resources too, so don’t fill me with crap about Making America Great Again, we never lost out greatness and never will. Wake up folks ! You can run around with your little red hats all you wish, screaming and jumping up and down, because we are America, go do it in Russia and lets see how long last there, before your either killed or shipped out to Syberia! Wake up!
Next topic, the raising of American Children these days. If you decide to have children, please remember some basic facts. 1) You made them, you pay for them ok, not State Aid or welfare. 2) It’s your responsibility to teach them right from wrong, and manners and morals and ethics. 3) Discipline them, make them understand societies rules, and common courtesies. 4) An Xbox, Playstation, or Video Game console is not there to raise your children or babysit them. It’s entertainment they must earn to have. 5) The Internet must be controlled and so must the children’s access too to it. Do, your job as parents, guide, teach and protect, and raise them properly. Teach them logic and common sense please, and correct them when they are rude or get too arrogant. What the hell happened to parenting your child and correcting them properly? Damn! One other thing too, schools are not your child baby sitters folks, they help a child learn yes, they teach your child the things needed to make a living and survive, you control your child, and their behavior in school on the streets and in places of public usage, is your responsibility, it reflects back on you as a parent and adult, when your child gets out of control, or does something illegal, wake up.
I know, I have heard it before the old argument of what decade was the best in American History. What Generation was the best to live in, and I have heard people get upset when discussing this. Well being as i was born in 1956, I can not account for any decade before 1960, in my experience. The 1960’s produced jobs and money in America, but failed to police itself properly, as we all know. we had the peaceniks, the drug usage and alcohol usage increases too. The Vietnam and Korean Wars and Assassinations too. Then, we moved into the 1970s, pot became the thing, peaceful protests, political turmoil and more. We still had the best cars and music of any era in my opinion. Yes, we had political turmoil again, Nixon and Watergate, and Agnew too. By the end of the 1970s, with Carter as President, we learned even America had to learn to save energy in the world, turn our thermostats down and worry about jobs once more. We learned or began to learn, the world didn’t like us as much as we thought and they started attacking us for political positions and actions we did in the world. In the end I still believe the 1970’s were good years, but I am partial to them.
Let me say this to all, today in 2025, we now enter a period of time, where America itself, and our way of life is at stake and our way of government too. Democracy is at stake as is the Republic as founded by the Forefathers of our Nation. We can not change the way the voting went, or the President we will have legally, but we can defend our rights and make the incoming Administration live by the rules of our land, for no one is above the law. We have checks and balances and as Americans we have the right to use them to protect our way of life and our people. The Presidency may have been bought by Elon Musk and his billions, and we may ultimately end up under a President Vance also. I remind all Americans, whether you Voted Trump or not, he is 78 years old, not in the best of health, just look at him, and imagine if something happens, you get a President Vance, I hope your ready, because i don’t think you thought of it when you got all MAGA excited and voted Trump in again. Time shall tell if I am right or wrong here, I am not young myself, so, I may or may not live to see it, happen. But, I think all politicians no matter party, race, nationality, should prepare just in case. For this is America, we will have to adapt and change and adjust, as we go forward and yes the majority voted and yes I understand that. I am just saying what few thought about when they ran to the voting booths. Sorry folks, just honest opinion here.
Let me close here with a simple thing, in America these days, there are still a few of us who have manners, ethics and morals. We still open doors for women, we still respect their opinions, we still can say without doubt everyone has their right to their own opinion. We still can be civil, polite and work together no matter what, I hope. I still have Hope in The Promise of what Our Forefathers, Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin and more said, and made, and as ben franklin said, after they signed the Constitution of the United States, We shall have a Republic only as long as we the people, Protect and Defend it! Never forget that Americans, we must do that!
