What Is This World Coming To?

Once again, I am confused.

Have you noticed that happens frequently? I have.

At times, the world seems senseless, or seems to lack sense.

Here are my confusions for today:

Why did those four young men, in Florida, who were no strangers to the oceanic waters and fishing, ignore the weather forecast, thereby putting their lives in jeopardy? And, why, if they were seasoned boaters, with water conditions so severe, had they not already donned their life vests BEFORE the boat flipped? So sad and such a senseless loss of life.

Just how much worse can our nation's economic condition get?

How much more is our nation going to borrow from the Chinese? China is not a nation that has our best financial interests at heart.

How much higher will our politicians and President let our national debt rise?

The politicians, the President, and the pundits keep exhorting the American public to "have confidence". Every time we dole out dollars by the billions, using money that doesn't even exist - relying on Chinese loans, we build another room of our national house on sand. This does not encourage confidence.

Even Blogspot can't run efficiently today. It took nearly thirty minutes to get to the page where I could enter a post. I think the internet is feeling the economic catastrophe, too.

What is this world coming to?
