We Are Losing It

“Whitey Bulger’s rental hideout in high demand”


What in the hell is wrong with us? People are clamoring to rent an apartment where a criminal lived.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/06/30/national/main20075757.shtml  We have, as a society truly lost our minds. Come on people, we really need to get a grip and I mean now. What could the possible fascination be? You want to have a party and be able to say to your friends “Yup you know Whitey Bulger lived here.” Wow! You must be proud. Or is that you are hoping to find some of the money he stashed there; well wake up they have money sniffing dogs cameras, and sledge hammers, they will find it all. Listen up all you dyslexic buffoons you are doing it wrong. We are not supposed to honor criminals and bad behavior; we are supposed to punish it. We are supposed to punish it harshly with extreme prejudice. It’s ok to be prejudiced against crime because crime is WRONG!

Whatever happened to rewarding good behavior? When did it become wrong for us to tell someone to pick up their trash and throw it in the TRASH can? I’ll tell you when, it happened, when we stopped making it unpleasant to do the wrong thing, and began compromising our principles and then we started making it profitable. I know what you’re thinking (he is going to bring up Reality T.V. again.) Well you are partially right. It did start with the media; the media turns these criminals into celebrities, and if that’s not enough we turn our celebrities into criminals. What’s the statement I am searching for? “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” Oh and this one. “Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes.” Thanks a lot Andy. Thanks to today’s technology some undeserving people are famous for a lot longer than their allotted fifteen minutes. Look at Casey Anthony, she murdered her child (Yeah I know she was acquitted but we all know she did it.) Disclaimer time again. I as in ME, I believe she did it and that is my opinion and I am quite sure after 20 years of service to this country I am entitled to it. She will be released later this month to book offers and interview offers and since she was acquitted she can profit from her story. So the way is paved and believe me people will pay for it. I am here to ask you as a fellow human being who cares about how our society is deteriorating, please; for the sake of our society do not buy into it literally do not buy the book, do not watch the interviews make the networks and publishers pay. Hit them where it counts in their pocketbook’s that is how we get them to listen to us.

WE have the ability to do this; it will take a little effort but we can. There is much better television out there, trust me and there are way better books to read, millions of them! I have a new show for you to watch ABC’s “What Would You Do?” here is a show to make you think about what is right and what is wrong. Watch the show, learn, and get involved. If you see something wrong intervene there are ways to do it properly and they will tell you. Stop turning a blind eye and make a difference before it is too late.
