When I was growing up, if I misbeahved in public, other parents would scold me if my parents weren't around. We looked after each other's property, spoke up against things, out loud, in public, not only on chat lines. When I hit 40, I decided it was time to speak out again. Yes, if children are misbehaving, I speak out. Likke, where are your parents? Don't do that. That'snot yours, don't play with it. If the parent gives me lip, I say, where were you? Do you let your children behave like this all the time? or my sister's favorite: Were you raised or just running around wild?
I go to people who are parked in handicapped spaces illegaly, or my favorite, people who park in the yellow stripe area in front of the handicapped van spaces at walmart, and say, move or I'll call the police. If someone is being rude, I stare at them, then speak out. If someone were selling drugs on their cell phone, I'd say something. I've spoken up when two coworkers were being abused by their husbands. I've had guns pulled on me, but you know, most people like that are cowards. They talk a good game, but they never expect people to stand up, and since the local police aren't doing the job, we should and I am. I vote, I attend city.county meetings, and even spoke to our congressman recently.
We do need jobs in this county, and not all industry is bad. But stanly county is not doing the job. They let Dell, slip away, they let the wal mart distribution center slip away..and many others. And if congress does away with the shuttle program at NASA, what will happen to the Michelin plant? We all need to vote allthe old families out and run for office, or at least vote in the next year, all new people. Let's go vote today!
