Wow, I Was "Flagged" by Blogspot

Evidently there was some kind of concern over the title of my blog.

Cool.

I would like to take a second to re-state my mission here.

I'm a white person. I grew up in an upper-class white community (Carmel, California). White people have their demons , but there once was a time when those demons were quietly fought and defeated. Today those white-people demons are instead indulged to the point of having their own reality shows. Gone are the days of quiet endurance, if you don't like it you quit. Shame is an obsolete concept, if you run your multi-million dollar company into the ground you don't stick a gun in your mouth, instead you ask for a government bail-out and then retire on your golden parachute. If your kids are monsters because you've neglected them by over-scheduling their lives with lessons and tutors, no problem, give them medication to make them shut up. It's all about what you can get, not how you get it. If someone else gets hurt by your actions its their fault.

I have a problem with this.

There was a time when manners counted, when character was respected more than than a number in a bank account, and when financial modesty expected. Those things should still count today, yet for many reasons they do not.

This blog does not address racial issues or other races. Not that I don't care, I am just not qualified to discuss issues that face the African-Americans, Hispanic, Asian, and other folks who make America a cool place to live. I'm not qualified because I'm white, and I have zero background to discuss other people's problems. However, I can and will continue to point out the decline of white American society as I see it.

Thank you for stopping by.
