Memorial Day...The Rant

My apologies, I have not blogged in a week.

I want to quickly get to the point of why I waited two days on writing this post. Well, that's how long it took for the anger to subside.

Why am I so angry? Monday was Memorial Day. A day in which we honor and remember those who died in combat to protect our freedoms. Yet, all you heard on the radio, saw on TV, and the like was SALE! SALE! SALE!

I work in radio, and yes, I know these things are coming up, but why do we have so many sales on Memorial Day? Mostly because the businesses, who honestly do not care about our troops, know that the mall rats, who are human parasites, will be out of school on that day. These idiots could care less about anything, if it doesn't involve how they shop, the latest trends, or what some actor is Tweeting.

Mallrats, and the pop tarts are the problem with this world, really. They come from parents who have too much discretionary income...maybe their father is one of these overpaid ambulance chasers. So, to comfort the fact they have no parents, and learn nothing, they just shop and look down on everyone who has to work for a living. Most of these kids have tons of free time, and no brain. Sure, they could be book smart, but most of them will spread their legs for any disease ridden jackass with a leather jacket.

Ok, rant over. Look, I don't shun affluence, what I shun is idiot behavior. I shun people who don't care about about what is going on in the world.

Back to my point, since when did we get away from taking flowers to the cemetery, maybe attending a parade, or at the very least flying a flag out in the yard? Have we really started to shun those who have the guts to protect us? Look deep inside yourself when answering that question...
