Future

Future.

Whose?

Mine.

What?

Exactly.

Ask anybody living today, ask yourself. Do you see a rosy future for this country? I have been listening to a wide verse of people all of whom have made the exact same comment, they can't imagine living in 2045 (plus or minus 20 years). Being 18 I would like to know that living in retirement would be nice, you know the living part. Even the year 2020 seems uncertain.

Maybe it's the times we live in, where apocalypse is being predicted to come around every other day.

But it could be the fact that 1,000 scientist say increasing Carbon levels will increase global temperatures. Sure you may not care, you will die before its 100 degrees in winter, but I and about a couple billion of my generation will be around.

Besides that, by the time I'm 40 we plan to put a foot on the moon? You kidding me? WTF? Ummm you tell me, any of the people who proposed the Back to the Moon plan will be around for this moon landing? It's a complete joke.

What about Social Security, HealthCare, Education, who's dealing with these issues?

Social Security will be worth as much as toilet paper by the time I get to dip into it.

Emergency Rooms are full to the brim with no hope in sight, 510,000 people die from being diverted from an Emergency Room. Nurses are a 'dieing' peoples with fewer entering the service every year. Insurance companies are getting screwier every year putting all kinds of mind boggling restriction on their coverages.

American High Schools are some of the worst in the developed WORLD. America produces the fewest number of engineers and scientists in the developed WORLD. Teachers are far and few in between, and when they are teaching they aren't even qualified in the subject. With High Schools getting worse and worse will I have to teach my own kids?

Bush's plans while I'm sure after being consulted by God may have been the right thing to do, don't do anything at all. The No Child Left behind act leaves practically every child behind and his Social Security plan was no more then a political stunt.

What about illegal immigration? With activists touting the fact that in 20 some odd years, the illegal immigrant population will out man the Anglo-Saxon population of the country. Don't know about you but I just might have to move to Canada.

My future, that's what it is. Not the politicians, not my parents, I'm the one who has to live it, but I just don't get to write it.

I cam up with this yesterday:

Hope, that is all we have for we are a new generation wrapped in old ideas, we are a new generation with an old voice, we are a new generation that was never taught to stand up for what we believe in, we are a generation that was told of people who stood up for what they believe in.

Going against my own words, I can't do much, I can't pick up the pen and write a few laws, I can't get on a street corner and expect 100 people to band together under principal. Nope won't happen. Oh well.
