I love my country but there are so many things that are silly and need improvement!

 ARE YOU SERIOUS? My local video store used to give a free movie to whoever got a big blue gumball out of the gumball machine. THEY WERE FINED BY THE GAMBLING Association or whatever and forced to stop the practice DUMBBBBB! Banks are greedy and money grubbing and are the devil haha! They are RIDICULOUS! My sister pays $400 a year in overdraws and she is a smart lady, she and her husband just make mistakes. One time they went over 17 cents and owed $90! I can't help but think this world needs to SLOW THE HECK DOWN! In Europe we RELAXED and ENJOYED our families and our lives. It wasn't all RUSH RUSH RUSH and MONEY MONEY MONEY and ME ME ME! Meals need to be 2 hours minimum. Spend time with the people who matter in your life! ENJOY! Then there is advertising ON THE BACK OF BATHROOM STALL DOORS?! UGH! Advertising pop ups on computers. I get 5 calls a day from telemarketers IN THIS DAY AND AGE?! And with the news all negative on t.v. and all this I WANT YOUR MONEY GIVE ME YOUR MONEY NOW from everybody selling this that and the other...it's EXHAUSTING! Commercials were 5 minutes when I was a kid now they are 15! T.V. is a waste of TIME! I hate salespeople. I don't watch the news. Depressing! I understand why that guy WENT INTO THE WILD of Alaska and lived off the land. Other than searching for food it must have been pretty stress free! Seriously! And food. That's another issue. I can't even PRONOUNCE what they put in food in America these days! What chemicals and preservatives and additives are we poisoning ourselves with? What ever happened to REAL FOOD? Who's IDEA WAS THAT! There is crap in E V E R Y T H I N G! EVERYBODY is SUING EVERYBODY. It's all so stupid! Nobody cares about their fellow human beings! Boy now I am sounding like a hippy! It just makes me sad to see this country deteriorating so rapidly.

Yeah... I can just see somebody getting a gambling addiction searching for that blue gumball...  Wow.

The one I hate is everyone being expected to work 60-70+ hour weeks just to make ends meet.  Doesn't family matter any more?
