In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Pfffft!

Several large corporations receive billions in federal subsidies, and only give a few hundred thousands each to the Red Cross, which uses the lions share of the money to pay exorbitant salaries, advertise on national networks, and purchase expensive real estate.

Meanwhile, people that paid taxes their entire lives are struggling to survive, and wondering if they will. I hope they reflect their dissatisfaction by avoiding boiler house charities, and the products of corporate welfare companies. Their tax dollars may be abused, but they still control what they have left on pay day.

Pfffft!

    1. After Harvey, I saw the remarkable goodness in people.

      Regardless of the "charities" advertised on television, there are countless small churches, wonderful people, and businesses that do more than many ever know.

  2. I am not religious, but I tend to send money to churches instead of the big organizations. I figure it will get used in the local area, and the preachers generally are not corrupt. I don't give one red cent to outfits like the Red Cross, for exactly the reasons you delineated.

    1. Most churches are run by honorable people, and use your contributions most wisely.
