As a child I loved to play Monopoly. My Favorite role was to be the Banker. I love being in charge, and it was the easiest way to CHEAT. Yes I am going to come out and say that I used to Cheat at Monopoly. Aaron and Angela will never play that game with me again. So for who knows how long AIG and other banks have played monopoly during work and with real money. Now our Government is buying Wall St., AKA Boardwalk and Park Place. AIG pays retention bonus’ to 73 employees and this amounts to about 163 Million Dollars. Less than 1% of the Bailout money they have received. I think that congress is jealous of AIG big wigs getting bonus and that is why Congress is mad. Let it be known that the Bailout money was given with no limitations on how the money could be used. I don’t think it is worth all the attention this story has received. Personally a company who is going through the financial struggle they should be cutting back on bonus’. Intermountain cut our Christmas Bonus and our 401k match last year. It hurt my pocket book but it was better than layoffs. Congress feels cheated and so now they have to find a way to get the 163 Million back. Well how does Government make money. Taxes, so no Congress wants to tax these 73 people up to 95% of their bonus money. Well now that Congress is able to Tax who they and how much they want, what will keep them from doing it to us. I am so happy that the Democrats have control of the House and Senate. If Nancy Polosi would sell her private jet maybe our tax dollars for her salary would be better spent. The BIG THREE get hounded by Congress for traveling by private jet but it is OK for the Speaker of the House to do so. Our Government is throwing money around like it is monopoly money and our Economy is getting worse even with Trillions of dollars in Bailouts and Stimulus money. Not only that but our New Administration in the White House is lying to us. They just found out about the bonus, wait no we new about them all along, as Tim Gietner has stated. Just because of a Man Religious beliefs People would not vote for the only Candidate that has the knowledge to restructure and restore our Economy, Mitt Romney. He should be President, or have Tim Gietner’s Job. But NO. CHANGE we can Believe in is running the Show.

Why do we hate? Hate has consumed our nation, our lives and our way of thinking. Hate is found in everyone. We know who is the author of hate and yet we spend hours, days, months, and years justifying our hatred. We justify hating Gay’s, Arabs, Mexicans and most of all Canadians. Why? Because they are different, Homosexuality is against Christian beliefs, Arabs caused 9 11. Well not the whole Arab race, But don’t we repeat history? We look at every Arab differently since 9 11. That is what they did in World War II with Japanese Concentration Camps. Japanese Americans sent to Camps just because they were of Japanese decent. We hate Mexicans for coming into this country illegally. Canadians say the word “about” weird.  I know I have said things on this blog that are a product of Hate. For that I am sorry. I Know that Homosexuality is Wrong. I also believe in the laws of this Nation. I also have deep feelings of disgust about the 9 11 attacks.  How many of us go to church every week and learn about being Christlike? Christ loves the Sinner not the sin. Christ is able to look past our outward appearances and actions. He forgives us of are wrongful acts. He Died so that our sins, sins of hate could be washed from us. Heavenly Father gave to us Agency, some use it for good and some for evil. This will always be apart of our lives. There must be opposition in all things. The cure for this world is LOVE. The Lord died for us because of Love. We live here on Earth because of Love. We Progress in this life because of Love. We are Blessed in this life because of Love. We are Saved By Love. The world is full of Hate. Let us spread the Good News, No Greater Love hath man then this, That a man layeth down his life for his Friend. I know that God Loves us! I know that Satan is the author of all Hate. I know that it is through the labor of Love that man may receive Exaltation.  Christ is the example, let us find his will for us and carry out his mission. To Bring to Pass the Eternal Life of Men. This can only be done with LOVE. Remember that Charity is the Pure Love of Christ. If we Love God, we must keep his commandments.  One of the lose is to Love thy neighbor as thyself!!
