Food for thought...


We are in trouble...
The population of this country is 300 million.
160 million are retired.
That leaves 140 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 55 million to do the work.
Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.
Leaving 15 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied
with killing Osama Bin-Laden.
Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 10.8 million people
who work for state and city Governments.
That leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And there you are,
sitting on your butt,
at your computer,
reading blogs.
Nice.
Real nice.

Ummm...awkward for me. But I sit at a computer for my job, so some of the guilt is automatically mitigated.

Love you!

Good post. I have come across your blog and enjoy reading. Glad things are going well. And I work very hard raising 2 children so when I am sitting on my butt on the computer it is because I deserve it! Don't make me feel guilty!
