Just because Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail doesn’t mean
he wants our society to fail. Just listen to his words at CPAC
“We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be.”

Not just rich people, everyone including you. Were a capitalistic society we don’t discriminate, not in America, we don’t do classism, thats medieval type stuff. Everyone has a fair shot, no matter what status they’re born into. The reason for the huge gap between the rich and poor is so big is because poor people are lazy.Duh!

Single mothers who work two or three jobs, and are still struggling
aren’t working hard enough. If they really wanted to, and worked hard enough they could be fortune 500 CEO’s.

“There are no two things or people in this world who are created in a way that they end up with equal outcomes. That’s up to them. They are created equal, given the chance” Says Limbaugh. “They’re poor because of us,because we don’t care, and because we’ve gotten rich by taking from them, that’s what kids in school are taught today. That’s what others have said to the media. You know why they’re poor, you know why they remain poor? Because their lives have been destroyed by the never-ending government hay that’s designed to help them, but it destroys ambition. It destroys the education they might get to learn to be self-fulfilling.”

So it’s welfare thats keeping the poor people poor. Assuming everyone on welfare is lazy as Rush implies, if welfare was taken away there would be less poverty in the U.S.

If you can’t notice, I’m being sarcastic. Do people really think like this? There will always be people who will abuse welfare, just like there will always be corrupt people in politics and on wall street, poor people don’t have a monopoly on abusing the system. Yea theres people who abuse welfare, but theres also people who work hard and struggle to make ends meet and truely need a helping hand. Should they be punished because some D-bags decide to abuse the system?

I find it hard to believe Rush and conservatives really want us all to succeed. And I take Rush wanting Obama to fail personal. I’m a 23 year old college student and my healthcare just ran out, so if I get really sick, no antibiotics for me, I have to wait it out, or be in debt. Obama wants me to have healthcare, Obama wants to make sure I can go to college, Limbaugh wants those plans to fail, so I guess that means Limbaugh wants me to fail.

With the state of our economy right now. Why would he want the president to fail? It makes no sense to me. If he fails, America fails. With some people it will always be politics though, if Obama fails that will give the GOP a shot at get back in the white house Country First? No, more like party first.

Away….

How long would it take me to walk across the united states…all alone

I think i’m starting to read too much, I have a sudden urge to sell my laptop, and whatever else I can that’s worth money and hitchhike across the country.

Watching the motorcycle diaries, reading Sedaris, and kerouac, I’m starting to feel I’m wasting away in Sacramento. Time to take a trip, everytime I go to SF I get depressed when I get back into Sac. This city holds nothing for me, except for school..blah I’m sick of school.

So should I just sit back and let time fly by and wait for happiness to come, or take to the road in pursuit of happiness. I’m not getting younger, I don’t want to end up 35 years old working a job that I hate but can’t quit because i need the health benefits and to pay off my college loans.

We shall see come end of this semester…

Hooked: It drains your wallet, time and health, and it’s legal

 

I can’t. The judge ordered I go to AA

What causes unwanted pregnancies, car accidents every year, fights among friends, gets people fired from their jobs, a husband to beat his wife, and so much more?

It’s alcoholism.

The definition of alcoholism is “habitual intoxication; prolonged and excessive intake of alcoholic drinks leading to a breakdown in health and an addiction to alcohol such that abrupt deprivation leads to severe withdrawal symptoms.”

“The rule of thumb is that if your drinking is getting in the way of your relationships [or] your appointments, then you’ve got problems,” says psychology professor Maria Regalado.

City College student Phillip Lopez is currently taking alcohol education classes after being arrested twice for driving under the influence. He started off as a social drinker during his junior year at C.K McClatchy High School.

“Coming to a new school, I was like, ‘everyone else is doing it, I might as well try to blend in,’” Lopez says.

But soon after he graduated, he moved beyond social drinking.

“I used to wake up thinking about it, man let’s go grab some beers, and people would look at me like damn it isn’t even 12, and I’d say, ‘it doesn’t matter.’”

After his second DUI, Phillip was forced to get his priorities back in order. He says the alcohol education classes have been helping a lot.

“The main thing I learned is to plan ahead. If you know you’re going somewhere and you’re going to be drinking, just plan ahead, because once you’re drunk, you’re not thinking about, ‘Oh I’m drunk, I’m going to need a ride.’”

On the weekends a lot of college students binge drink, defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention as drinking enough to bring your blood alcohol level above 0.8 percent, usually five drinks in two hours for men or four for women.

One effect of binge drinking is the loss of R.E.M sleep.

“One of the purposes of our R.E.M sleep is that we consolidate information while we’re sleeping, we store memories of learning that occurred during the day, so if you binge drink it blocks that consolidation from taking place.” Regalado says.

Binge drinking is detrimental to the learning process, but that is often the least of the damage it does.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States during 2006, 13,470 deaths occurred as a result of alcohol-related car accidents. This amount was approximately 32 percent of all traffic fatalities, amounting to one alcohol-related death every 39 minutes.

According to alcohol-abuse-info.com, every year in the U.S. more than 150,000 college students develop alcohol-related health problems and 1,400 American college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from alcohol-related injuries, including car accidents.

When it comes to drinking, it can be fun, and to a point it’s socially acceptable, but we just have to remember where to draw the line so we don’t end up like Amy Winehouse: in need of rehab.
