Conundrums That Bug Me


The definition of the word Conundrum is: A riddle or something that is puzzling.



I did not come up with these, yet I agree with each point made … do you???



“Here are six Conundrums in the United States of America today:



1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.



2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.



3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.



4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.



5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.



6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.”



Think about it !



These next three short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and our cultural drift:



“We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.”



That is totally irrational, but exactly the kind of thinking that is becoming the “new norm” for making social policy.



And here's another one worth considering ...



“Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about Welfare or the Food Stamp programs running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.”



Think about it ...



And Last but not least …



“Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but at the same time, we are NOT stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.”



Does that make sense to anybody out there?



I am Whamm, let them with wisdom hear.
