Friday the 13th; Better than April Fools Day?

I still cannot remove this thought from my mind…
Write the figure $500,000,000,000.00 out on a piece of paper several times and try to wrap your mind around how large that figure really is. Can you imagine writing a check that large?
I still can’t fathom that figure.

Then I complete it with…
Wow! Is there that much money in this country? It must be a loan from Bill Gates, the guy that owns the company that will take this country under with the launch of the next OS for the head of the
horrid beast that controls the Internet. Namely, our computers.

The Devil truly has two eyes on us now. Television has been telling us what to do with our lives for close to 70 years and the Internet has had a hold for going on 20 years at the least. Both are extremely efficient, wouldn’t you agree?
Something seemingly inhuman has been
exposing/educating us to more than what all generations before us will have known was possible before puberty. We have seen untold violence as well as 1000’s of deaths by every means possible before we are old enough to graduate from high school and are desensitized to death and violence before we enter high school. If true TV kids, we are also fully aware of every aspect of sex; the medical terms for our organs and how pregnancy occurs. A large number of kids have already had some type of sexual experience due to peer pressure and/or suggestion from one of the evil eyes. The one thing that the young don’t understand is the emotional and financial stipulations. Though television may turn on every other button, it cannot simulate life experience or emotions that accompany it. One can never be financially prepared when teen years try to fall back on years of television. Where was mom&dad?

Some of us now sit with its cousin, often times on our laps, while engrossed in front of the original eye. Both eyes are upon us and we are as dependent upon them as our automobiles to get through our daily lives.
I guess that’s a good thought for Friday the 13th; after all it is just another day but one with the connotation of superstitious BAD luck surrounding it.

Maybe some others will say it aloud; “GOD help us!”
