The Pragmatic Perspective

Carbon offsets are ridiculous. Don't try to make up for destroying something after it's gone- find a way not to destroy it in the first place! Why can't people use rags and cloth napkins?-it saves money; and cleaners that don't harm our skin help the planet too. If you live in a sunny, swell place, do ride your bike the 2 miles to work; good for mental and physical health! I could go on and on..............

I HATE POLITICS! I vote in an attempt to influence someone to listen. How futile it is. How will my daughter be able to get a college education, work, have a family, etc.; when she is, as of now, burdened with this massive debt created by our federal government? She isn't old enough to have a job, let alone pay taxes, marry, have children; yet her children are severely indebted! Zoe's share is currently $36,588!!!!!! That comes to $109, 764 for a family of 3. Uh huh. Sure. We will get right on that. Let's hope it doesn't increase. AHHHHH!!!!!!  PS. Z is saving her money to buy an iPod. She is collecting the money first; she will buy it after she has all she needs. Complex concept, isn't it?
