let it out.

What is important to you. Right here. Right now?

1. I ate too much and I'm not going to be able to sleep.

[ulysses]

2. why can't we get our shit straight about public ed?

[MoseyWalker]

4. Very good question

with far too many questionable answers.

It's like the thing with selling the taxpayers roads to private companies.

It's foolish, and the road that's being traveled upon in definitely rocky. Many will undoubtedly get lost.

Public education is the lifeblood of this country. Too bad more don't see it, or assist in funding it.

3. Well, right now my biggest

personal issue is finding a job. There isn't a whole lot out there right now. Isn't the economy supposed to be booming?

[MoseyWalker]

5. All you have to do

is wrap your mind around the idea that Walmart is one of the greatest things to ever happen to this country, walk bleary eyed to one to the supercenters, and get a low paying, no benefit job.

It really is that simple!

(I truly do hope you the best)

10. LOL.....

I think I would rather dig ditches.

6. VA and Government Jobs are out there you start as a GS 5

[BlackVelvet04]

9. I've been out of the government job loop for a long time....

and don't even know where to start to find them. I have career-conditonal status with the Federal government at a GS6.

7. Promoting my fiction

Other than that, there are just SO many things that are important to me. The corporate media, the flaws in our education system, the Iraq War and our pResident's insistence on ignoring the will of the people in regards to it.

I could go on and on and on.

It's easier just to promote my books. :evilgrin:

Maybe someday I'll be a famous fantasy author with even movies under my belt so I can be a loud critic of the Republicans invited on shows like Real Time, the Daily Show, and the Colbert Report.

Everyone needs a dream.

[MoseyWalker]

8. Hold onto that dream friend

Hold on!

and best of luck to you.

11. I'm worried about the health of our environment (in a LARGE sense

not things like smoking in public places or your personal car ~ that's all distraction, it really is!) We've got birds falling out of the sky DEAD, fish in the ocean dying, coral reefs dying, habitat for polar bears (and other creatures) being TOTALLY decimated, and on and on and on......

We're on the 'top o the food chain' and if the creatures below die off, well.....it's pretty clear what that means for us too.

I'm also tired of people being mislead, led away from the truth of our existence here on Earth....led away from an understanding of how it all works. Because when people are mislead, and they don't understand how it all works, they will be led to make very bad decisions. I'm tired of being carried along with the folks who have no understanding, don't wanna know, and are contributing to some very bad decisions being made/carried forward.

12. self-delete

[VelmaD]

13. I went back to the gym...

part of implementing my new years' resolutions. I had been slacking. My legs really fucking hurt. But it's good for me. :)

[hang a left]

14. My kids are the most important thing in the world to me.

I really don't want to see my 19 year old die in a desert in some far off land.
