Derrion Albert

Another senseless death. This one makes me sick to my stomach. This kid was doing all the right things. Honor student, active in the church, he was just trying to get home after school. He had nothing to do with the two "gangs" that converged on the street and stomped him to death. Who is at fault? The young men who murdered him for sure, but this needs to be taken a step further. Arrest their crap-ass parents. Somebody failed to raise these monsters. They should be held accountable also. This country is going to shit on a shingle and a lot of the problems can be traced back to a lack of parenting. I'm talking whites, blacks, yellows, grays, purples. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, the whole country is at fault. Nobody is raising kids with morals, kids with a sense of right and wrong, kids who value life. You can blame it on tv and video game violence, you can blame it on anything you want but the bottom line is the parenting in this country sucks!

Sports Betting

I find it quite ridiculous that I am told what I can and cannot do with my hard earned money. I am a grown ass man yet the government feels it knows best what I should do with my cash. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't be able to place a wager on the outcome of the Monday night football game. There is none. It's my money, that is the bottom line. Get of your high and mighty asses and legalize online gambling. I'm all grown up, I think I can handle it!
