I am tired.

I'm 79 and I'm Tired

This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the UK,
United States of America, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand etc. Ja. And South Africa ..

"I'm 79 and I'm Tired"

I'm 79. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National
Service, I've worked hard since I was 17.
Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and
didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I
didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given
the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, 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 "honour";
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 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 and other Arab
countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools
to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no
one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or
religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country 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,
andstuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while
they tried to fight it off?

I'm tired of hearing wealthy
athletes,entertainers and politicians of all 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 really 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 79. Because, mostly, I'm not
going to have to see the world these people are
making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughters and their children.

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 79 and I'm tired. If you don't
forward this you are part of the problem".
