The United States of Entitlement.... and Partisan Politics

I would like to start off this weeks blog with a bit of a Discussion. I have noticed as time goes by that the entire united states is overcome with an affliction. Every day, I hear about how more and more people are entitled to something. Some people truly are, others not so much. Why are we as a society stuck on what we are entitled to. I can honestly say it saddens me in a way that I can't even begin to portray in words.
     The other day, I was discussing with a fellow student about her Ex. He feels entitled not to work, or get trained in any way to move forward with his life because he was diagnosed with Bipolar ism, If anyone is entitled to anything, It is me. Yet I do not scramble to the nearest wall, because I feel this urge to stagnate in mediocrity. Pay attention to this, and alot of things will become clear to you. Nothing in this life is easy, I get that, why is it so hard for people to understand it in our society as a whole? If you know the answer, by all means, let me know. I'd love to know.

Partisan Politics... After the last blog I posted, I noticed a lot of Bickering in comments on what is going on. Republican this...Democrat that... In my mind, Partisan Politics is the downfall of our country. I am neither a Republican, nor a Democrat. I'm a Glen. If I were to see someone, or something that I truly believe would help our country as a whole, I would Vote for it. Electoral College Gripes aside, I'd be the first in the voting booth.
     The true enemy is not one side or the other, it is truly our willingness to let a Party dictate what is right and wrong. Excuse me if I am mislead here, but I was under the impression that Government was designed to be a voice for the masses as a whole. Not one mindset or another. I guess thats just one more thing I need to fix. After all, it is my job to protect, and to take care of everyone.
     As always, I Feel horrible for being that guy as usual, But this going to school stuff is expensive. I know that in the long run, it is all worth it. But its tough to afford everything My daughter needs, My wife Needs, and then finally what I need. And yes it goes in that order. If you have a few dollars you can spare, please donate a bit to help me continue on this journey I have started. If not, thats ok too. After all, Going back to the beginning of this weeks rant, I am not TRULY entitled to your help. Only if you see fit I suppose.Have a Great Week.
