Golden Corral at its Finest.

     Sunday for fun I took Brian to a Golden Corral for dinner.  He had never been to a Golden Corral before and had no idea what a treat it would be.

     While we were eating,  I started looking around the restaurant and noticing all the different ethnicities that were eating there.  Mexican, American, Indian both dot and feather, young and old, almost all were families with a few single diners there,  one even reading a book as she enjoyed here evening meal.  One thing that struck me, there were lots of children all very well behaved and none of the babies were crying or wailing.  Very unusual these days even at higher end places.  As I was sitting there I thought to myself I wonder how many of these folks cared about Donald Trump or Russia.  I somehow doubt that they wouldnt give it a thought if it wasnt on the evening news every night.  They are busy worrying about paying their bills.  How they are making the rent or the house payment, how they are going to get through the blistering hot Arizona summer and keep the A/C on in their house.  For them,  Golden Corral is a once a week or month treat to take the whole family out.
     These are the very people that our elected officials are letting down.  They are directly effected by the law's and policies that the congress and senate pass or fail to pass.  Many of them have no idea how their children are going to pay for college, if they go to college at all.   They are the absolute backbone of America and we are letting them down.  All of us who post daily to Facebook and complain about Trump.  Those of us who tune in to the View and watch the gaggle of idiots parading by to talk shit about our government with no idea how to make things different.  Every one of us who watches CNN or Fox, or ABC, who tells us daily that Disney is their parent company with their one world view and believes the shit they tell us without using our brains to figure it out for ourselves.  When we blindly follow the media, our congressmen and senators without questioning them, We Lose.  When we vote directly down party lines, We Lose.  When we hear daily about the plight of our retired service men and women and their total lack of proper health care, We Lose.  When we fight about what gender is allowed to use the bathroom, We Lose.  When we conciously choose to discriminate against on people because they are different than us, We Lose.  We Lose the most when we forget that we are all Americans and we should be fighting for each other.  We shouldnt be fighting because we are Democrats or Republicans, that is secondary.  Every one of us knows the difference between whats right and wrong and we are totally loosing sight of the big picture.  The big picture is what is good for America.  We can be diligent Americans without taking advantage of the rest of the world.
