So before I continue to write this, i have a confession. I'm a horrible person for it, but it happens. Here goes: sometimes when I'm listening to sermons on Sunday mornings, my mind wanders to life. Particularly how something the pastor just said applies to life or helps explain life.

Today was one of those days. It was a very good sermon about America and the Seven gifts it needs for this 233 birthday.

I think he was talking about diligent workers, and how we shouldn't pass students who can't preform the skills and things like that.

And I was thinking, you know that 1)yes it breeds negligent workers but 2) it doesn't prepare them well at all for college of real life.

If you can't hack it at college you get failed. If you can't hack it at work you get fired.

This thought hopscotched through around till it hit equal opportunity and how that breeds workers who don't work or strive to do well at their job. I mean they are hired to fill a quota so (some not all making generalizations here, I know it's not one size fits all so bear with me ) they don't feel that they have to work so hard, after all they are filling a quota, therefore their job is pretty secure and they can't be fired with out being racists. (no matter what the ethnicity) This also leads to resentment by other workers who actually DO a good job, but have to pick up the slack for other people, when really they should be fired.

However the implications of not having equal opportunity leads to employees discriminating against ethnicities that they don't like.

Which lead to America is turning more legalistic everyday. Because we can't prosecute on the spirit of the law, we have to create more law that define how everyting is supposed to be done. Like equal oppurtinity. it's spirit is to eradicate sexual, and ethnocentric discrimination, but since the "letter" of the law is such that if you don't hire some one they can rant and rail about how you didn't hire them becuse of ther gender, or their race, costing you money.

By creating more laws that are supposed to uphold the spirit of a law creates more legality, because you aren't taking into account the heart behind an action.

But then that sums up the problems with the Law of Man. we can't know the heart, only God can.

This all leads back to: Your life is your ow. RIse up and live it. We can't fix the problems with our nation (without God first and foremost) with out taking pride in our humanity and putting pride into what we do, and realizing that the world doesn't owe you anything. That you have to make your own choices and live with those consequences.

And Now i'm hungry. So i'm goin to choose to get something to eat.

UPDATE ON THE POST BELOW:

After having watched a few shows on hulu, I've decided the nifty button needs work. First you can't use it if you have it full screen (makes sense, except I am not going to exit out to like or dislike an ad.)

Second, it doesn't stay up for the commercial long enough for you to really see the commercial and decide if you liked it or not.

overall, great idea, just needs some work.

So I was getting ready to watch a show on hulu and I got a phone call so I paused it during a commercial.

Now I haven't watched Hulu in quiet some time and I noticed this nifty little button.

Being in advertising I thought ths was an ingenious move personally. It is a great way for a company to get feed back on their ads, when neilson ratings can't work, And in a time when Neilson ratings mean jack, i think this is even better. Now you can get real data on how many people like an ad or don't. The next step would obviously be to be able to follow up with osmeone and find out how old they are, why they didn't like the ad, income bracket, lifestyle et cetera

Any way i'm off to swim with a friend. But I had to write a little bit about that while it was on my mind. I may writ emore about it later but there are no promises.

Today Has not been a fantastic day.

I wake up to mom still at home dressed in church/work cloths at 940ish I ask her what is up. And she say's there has been some drama. ( My little brother's girlfriend was having family issues ) which is fine, but heartbreaking because she is a sweetie. I go to work, where people are just down right rude all day, and my manager at the store I am at for the summer is crazy and chooses to harp on the STUPIDEST things. Sorry dear, but the middle of a rush is not the best time to micro clean all the things and get in peoples ways, also, sometimes people make the best decisions with what they have at the time meaning there is not any OTHER way to react and still keep a good image.

My boyfriend didn't answer his phone or text because he was at a church picnic (apparently baptisms were going on ) I'm assuming this picnic was outside, which means he could have walked to a quiet place away from al the people to talk to me.

There's a lot more that has just rubbed me wrong today but I can't get into it here. I'm hoping tomorrow is better, or something with katie is definetely in the works.Caw caw rawr.
