Thoughts That Wake Me Up At Night

1. What is the greater national concern, the fact we expect six year old children to be able to write cohesive paragraphs or that a third of them are all ready over weight and headed toward diabetes?





2. Why do leaders who grew up enjoying three months summer vacations want to increase the length of the school year?





3. Is the war on drugs still being fought?





4. If performance enhancing drugs for adult athletes is wrong, why is it okay to prescribe drugs that boost academic performance for our children?





5. A fast food diet will make you run slower and for shorter duration but a slow food diet will help you run faster and for a longer duration. Why the hurry to eat?





6. When auto manufacturers produce a mistake, they order a recall. When doctors make a mistake, we sue. Why?





7. Golf and life are both far more enjoyable when you do not keep score.





8. I wonder how my boss would react if I danced around and thumped my chest after completing an ordinary task like a football player does after catching a pass or making a tackle?





9. There are not very many jobs out there that pay you a guaranteed wage of more than one million dollars a year while allowing you to grab your crotch, chew tobacco, and spit sun flower seeds all over your work space while rewarding you for being successful only one-third of the time. No wonder baseball is our national pastime.





10. Cats are only good if they eliminate a gopher problem.





11. Have you noticed it is easier to get a traffic ticket when the economy is not doing well and the price for those tickets cost more than when the economy is thriving?





12. During difficult economic times, cities lay off cops and crime increases. I am sure this is just a coincidence.





13. Why are people who are in charge of public money more wasteful with it than they are with their own money?





14. How come the cost for health insurance and college tuition increases at a time when personal income drops off but they continue to rise when the economy turns around?





15. Why do we have drugs for people who are bipolar but not for people who are bisexual?
