Out of Control for Sports
No need to wonder any longer why this country is losing its way. Sports heroes make more than entire school district payrolls. If we spent one tenth the energy we spend as a populace rooting for sports teams and directed it at improving, say, education we might have one less excuse to drink but we'd be a lot smarter. Still, why would you ever want to learn about how those in power are shafting you when you can watch some dude in tight pants catch a ball?

Kenny G
I just can't get enough of this culture-filled music. Spellbinding and deep. Right up there with Celine Dion.

People Who Hate Rap
If you hate rap ask yourself whether there is not someone in the world that hates the music you love. This is especially true for country music. Why not just accept that other people like stuff you don't and vice versa. Some people find country music to be very scary and inciting hateful speech and violence, just like rap.
It's all in the perspective.

Men and Women Living Separate Lives
Does this couple sound familiar? She's inside scrapbooking while he's outside working on the truck. They don't talk much except about the kids. They can't remember the last time they did something together or shared a common interest. Then they die.

Britney Spears and the Midriff
Does everyone have to show off their midriff? It gets so common that it becomes boring. Like any other fad, people just do it to fit in. It's kind of cool to know there are people who aren't swayed by fads. Same hairdo, same clothes, same everything. Yawn. Go out and do something unique and worthwhile.

Those Elite Rednecks
People talk and talk about how the elites want us to be a certain way. Good grief. You mean to tell me there isn't a code of behavior and dress in any country western bar that is strictly enforced. Conform or be cast out and rag on those elites with their cliquish ways. This also applies to the conduct and dress code in any middle class or working class neighborhood, period. Ever try to be different in middle america, crushing.

How to Get Rich
Do something you really love, work hard and do it over time.
All the other stuff is garbage.
Also don't do stuff just to make money or you'll be poor in spirit.
There's more to life than monetary wealth.

Enough with the Hate
A proposition. Stop hating for a day and do something positive for those people you hate so much. You might find out they are people like you. It's all about perspective.
Lowest Common Denominator
Why is it as a country we have to pander to the lowest common denominator? Why not try the novel approach of helping each person reach as high as they want. That would probably disturb those at the top I suppose.

Rewarding Bad Behavior
It's wonderful that our society rewards people that shaft others to get ahead. After all, what could be more important than swindling someone out of something to make more money. Oh, I forgot, it's honesty and ethics. Guess which side Jesus would be on between someone who takes advantage of someone else and someone who is honest and ethical. Winning at all costs doesn't sound too Jesus like.
