Mom just got back from D.C. and told me how she shook hands with a bunch of C.E.O.s that gave themselves million dollar bonuses and met a very interesting army vet all in the same day.

The army vet was talking to her on the plane about how our soldiers hardly ever use new upgraded gear to protect themselves during the wars overseas because lots of congressmen have shares in the companies who produce the old materials and they don’t want the companies who produce the better gear to make money.

It might be a bit hard to understand because I’m terrible at explaining, but essentially: the government honestly doesn’t care about our soldiers’ safety and protection. They truly just want to make sure they gain money from their shares in these old companies, so they always vote to keep using the old gear instead of investing in better protection for our soldiers.

life: Talk about putting your best foot forward… Tim Mathieson (left), husband of Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, shows First Lady Michelle Obama his cowboy boots before she hosts a luncheon with the spouses of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (or APEC) leaders in Hawaii. (see more — Week’s Best Photos) My mother’s boss is married to the lady that plans all of Michelle Obama’s fundraisers and events she does. The boss and his wife were in Hawaii with Michelle at this dinner and a kid that was supposed to be the live entertainment went up on stage and sang a whole song in front of the President and the guests about Occupy Wall St. That kid had balls. The beach the hotel was on was lined with barbed wire fence all the way into the water. Just to get to the pool my mom’s boss had to show his badge four times. But this kid gets up on stage and tells the president face to face about this uprising. How fucking awesome is that?

Our government is afraid of us. And that's how it should be.

Dr. Burzynski has found a cure for cancer but the government and drug companies are trying so hard to run him down.

This is quite a lengthy video, but if you have the time at least listen to it. Turn off your music that you’re playing in the background and play this video.

Now this is just APPALLING.

A commercial for Chase Bank just came on. They were basically saying that if you are a military veteran they’ll give you a job. They’re saying that you’d have a better chance of getting a job if you are a vet than actually going to college and getting a degree.

This is disgusting how companies are trying to persuade people like this.

I support the men and women who fight for my ‘freedom’ but this is just as bad as representatives from the army going into high schools and harassing teenagers to join the army as soon as they finish high school.

When will people realize there are so many more choices to live a successful life besides going to college or joining the military.
