A few quick thoughts

I only have a few moments to post a short and sweet blog, I don't think I can do it due to the fact that I have so much on my mind. It has been a busy week for my and my surrounding life. Here are a couple of the things I'm pondering...

  1. President Barack Obama held a Fiscal Responsiblity Summit on Monday, HA! Tell me this, how can you hold a Fiscal Responsiblity Summit when you are not Fiscally Responsible. He just finished pushing through a Trillion Dollar spending, or I mean "Stimulus" package that adds a lot of money to our already huge deficit.
  2. President Obama also said that he wants to cut the deficit in half in four years. How can you do that with a $1.3 trillion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan? I know, eliminate the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan!! It is that simple. Even the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, a democrat controlled part of congress said that in the long run it would be better if they (government) did nothing over the ARandRP.
  3. What is a woman's beliefs and morals worth? Nadya Suleman, the mom who gave birth to the octuplets, has been offered $1 million and free health care, and all she has to do is star in a hardcore porno. Is it worth it? She has 14 kids now and is on welfare. Would you do it if you were in that situation? First off she shouldn't have been taking firtility medicine to enhance her chances of have more kids, after she already had 6! She doesn't deserve special treatment for her stupidity. That just tells everyone "hey screw up, and you will get anything you want!"

I now have to go to work and make some money, and pay some money to the government to pay for the ARandRP. God Bless America!!

Message to all Lee University Students...


BE CAREFULL!!!

I drive around campus a lot. I mean a lot. Going through campus on my way to class, driving through campus on a delivery, or just driving around. I usually drive through campus during the high traffic times, you know after a classes let out, and I getting a little tired of have to slam on the breaks becuase students don't look before they cross the street. I'm not talking about on Parker St. in front of the HC, I'm talking about 11th St in front of the Student Union. There is no crosswalk in front of the PCSU or the Conn Center except at Parker, and Church. This means that the cars get the right of way, unless you use the crosswalk. In most places if you don't use the crosswalk, it is called Jaywalking, and you can get a ticket. I've been at Lee since fall of 2005, if I'm not mistaken, there have been atleast 3 students to get hit by a car. Although, one of them was using a crosswalk, that one was on Ocoee, in front of Medlin Hall. Now, I may be coming off mean, or bitter, but I hate that people are almost getting hit by cars, due to them not paying attention. I will say that it isn't always the pedestrians fault, there are some really bad drivers who just don't care, and speed through campus, but that is a different topic for a different day. In all of my experiences, it is the student pedestrians either not paying attention, or just not caring.

Please, please, heed my advice, just walk down the street a little further and use the crosswalks, it could save Lee from having to call your parents because of an accident.
