Quite often lately I find myself wondering what I’m doing with my life. I find it very, very hard to engage with anyone who doesn’t take things seriously.<\/p>\n

And by things I mean everything that most don’t want to talk about; poverty, inequality, war etc.<\/p>\n

Corruption in our courts who refuse to hold the banks and Wall Street accountable for fraud committed against homeowners.<\/p>\n

Corruption in our President who promised change and simply continued the war mongering and drone killing of innocent human beings – including uncharged American citizens.<\/p>\n

Greed run amok resulting in plutocrats running this oligarchy and no hope for my sons or their future children (if they choose to go that route).<\/p>\n

More often than not I feel like I’m on a prison planet designed for purging darkness from the human soul.<\/p>\n

As it stands today, the only way I will leave anything of monetary value for my sons is if I die while I’m working and have continued to pay my life insurance premiums (which today are almost $200 per paycheck). The premiums will go up substantially as I age and I’m aging quickly.<\/p>\n

Retirement??? Please……. that’s a dream for another lifetime.<\/p>\n

Happy Fall Equinox!<\/p>\n
