American Free Lass

After life's storms what should I do? Celebrate, pontificate? Perhaps know there is good work for others in this world I can do. Stop blaming politicians! For no matter how misguided they are, I am totally free. A land called America, that first began as one colony. We do not have to attend public schools! The choices expand, and some like homeschooling and charter schools. Though teachers unions, maybe loudly booing. Regardless,I am still a free lass. With good health care,though many want to let the government have final say. That!'s the last thing we need I say. Government... stay out of my way! February 6, 2020 2pm PST

Hi Sandra...people In my circle are really hard workers. community activists and give much of their income away to help people expand skills... I am aware of those who think GOV is Mom and Dad? IMHO only, Americans want a better life and will work. Yes there are those who want life easy. It never is!! Panagiota xx

For sure, government stay out of my way. Amazing how many people want more programs, and then yell the loudest when their rights are being infringed upon. There are no free handouts. Well said my friend!

Joe..the days of government cheese and food stamps are closing except for the needy. Did you know that people with good incomes were raking in food stamps. It's the dawn of America again but Communists want free programs. I paid my way thru college, my daughter did...lanyone can. College does not mean more money or that one is better. Anyone here can get an operation tonight.or dental work...it's great. Agree with you...Panagiota xx

Oh, but what about 'Me Too?!' 'Or Asian-Swedish by way of New Zealand Lives Matter?' (Aren't you 1/1028 Swedish?...Isn't everyone?). Oh, my friend: Can't you feel how oppressed you really, truly are?! LOL 100 times... Just loved your write... esp. the end. You know those words nobody ever wants to hear: "Hi! I'm from the government, and I am here to help you!" Hahahahahah! Cheers, Gershon

No! I turned in my Victimhood decades ago. I know that hideous line..Eeks. Stay away GOV. Hitler lives in DC, under the guise of the party that will save the planet, feed the poor, hate the Rich and murder babies. Never telling their zombie followers how much money they earned sitting in Congress. A schandre! PR xx

Hello Miss Heidi... Sometimes I am saddened by our lack of appreciation of how really free we are!! Meanwhile, you and I and millions of others are still protected by the Amendments and that great Constitution. Glad to be free~ Panagiota
