Personally I say the heck with the Chinese, stop the exportation over there and help out our own country. Put Americans back too work, open up the Alaskan areas for oil drilling, the heck with the enviromentalist too! Quit sending millions and billions in aid to foreign countries who just spit on us, put that money to work help us here at home. I'm really beginning to wonder about the phrase land of opportunity anymore. Too much immigration, to much dependance on other countries for products and services, too many young people coming on that can't tie their shoes, and not enough coming on that can do the basic work that sustains life. It boils down too this boys and if you don't agree thats fine, but from what I see alot around here is that too much emphasis is put on technology, technology is fine and good but when you have people out there that don't even know where their food comes from, its gone too far. I say lets take things back about 30 years or so and get our country back again. I had a kid come up too me at the store one year when I was filling up the diesel tank in the back of the truck, he had a flat, came over too me too ask if I had something to take the center thing(thats how he said it) off his wheel, I told him to hang on a second and we'll see. I walked over(not knowing what all he had done so far) and saw a truck jacked up, all the lug nuts off and the wheel just sitting on the lug bolts. Poor kid had no clue it just came off. I have seen several cases like this and I'm sure yall have too. We are graduating too many ignorant kids these days. Take the dam computors out of grade school, teach the kids some common sense and let them learn how to add and subtract on paper and make them learn how too do things without pushing buttons first. I'm not saying that computors are bad, I like mine but I can add and subtract adn I can fix a flat. I'm not just talking about changing flat tire with a spare. I can break em down, patch em adn remount em too. Lets see some of these young bucks coming on now try too do it. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to put myself above anyone else by any means cause I have my faults too but I do have common sense and the mechanical ability to fix things and actually work with my hands. Shoot sorry guys, I got on a roll and a soapbox but its one of my pet pieves. We are depending too much on technology and I believe its really hurting us more than we know. Hope I didn't vere off topic too much here
