Subject: Fw: 73 and I’m Tired – Required read



73 and I’m Tired


This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the UK , in the U.S.A, Canada , Australia and New Zealand ….


By Robert A. Hall

I’m 73 Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.

I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers;” of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery;” of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.

I’m tired of being told that, out of “tolerance for other cultures,” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America and Canada , while no American nor Canadian group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.


I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?

I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 73.. Because, mostly, I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughters and grandson.

There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
This is your chance to make a difference.

“I’m 73 and I’m tired!!

“Never complain about growing old, far too many people have been denied that privilege.”

Obituary–Very Interesting

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some

2,000 years prior:

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a Permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until

The time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts From the public treasury. >From that moment on, the majority always votes
for The candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with The result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal
Policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.” “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning
of History, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations Always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage.”

The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2008

It won’t hurt to read this several times.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last
Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29

Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was Mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income Tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…”

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of
democracy,

With some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached The “governmental dependency” phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal Invaders called illegal’s – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.


This is truly scary! Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. Someone should point this out to Obama. Of
Course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The Constitution.

There’san old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad. The Captain suggested

perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell

bad and wants you to change your underwear.” He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown,

you change with Schultz.”
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

Someone may come along and promise “Change”

but don’t count on things smelling any better.
