We are living in a very cruel society that encourages people to be poor. There are people whose only mission and business in life is to be poor, and homeless. In America it is okay to hit rock bottom, but no one told you until the government came along with social programs that you had to stay there. There are so many social help care programs that are geared to help you clean up your act. However, there are people who thrive on being the victim, anti-sociable, and being a parasite on the rest of us. There are people who are a major drain on the society as a whole. They are the fifth wheel. They are the third person on a date. They are soaking up the very oxygen that we are breathing, and the space that we are occupying. They do not want to work, nor do they want to contribute to society, or pay the price it will take to get any job. They enjoy watching you go to work, and coming home daily to line their pockets with your hard earned money. Why do they stand at corners and freeway entrances...

West Layton Utah has been targeted for its farmland and if allowed this wide open space, just a mile away from the nature conservancy/bird refuge, could be rezoned to allow nearly 100 acres of high-density residential housing, hotels and other urban areas.

I just heard another American Idol contestant was kicked off the show for reportedly lying about his past. It seems nearly every season the show disqualifies a contestant for glossing over life details that violate the show's rules. But as we know, in Hollywood, skeletons always come out of the closet. Reporters and paparazzi are paid to dig up dirt, so if it's there they're bound to find it. But that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is what all of this lying and cheating represents. It's something that is becoming far too common in our society. In fact, I believe in many ways our culture is breeding it...

By 2000 the last psychological blow fell. One could argue that most businesses that were going to leave inner city Joburg had left by the mid 1990s. But when the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) picked up its skirts and strutted off to glitzy Sandton that was the symbolic blow that brought home the reality that the Joburg inner city was defeated. Something else had risen up in the inner-city, a monster fuelled by crime, public filth, building vacancy, taxi violence, car hijacking, municipal mismanagement and maladministration. A visionlessness and hopelessness pervaded the city. It would take more than one heroic blow to bring down such a monster.
