Has it ever concerned you how absolutely spoiled our country has become? Take in for a moment the mindset of the "DINKS" (double income no kids) of our nation. Here a man and a women both have good paying jobs so that they can afford all of life's luxuries such as a HUGE 7 bed-5 bathroom HOUSE with a four car garage, in which is filled with 3 nice cars and a truch to pull the RV and/or boat that is kept in the "SHOP" (that also contains a snowmobile and/or ATV) in the 5 acre back yard, right beside the swimming pool (complete with waterslide) and spa. In side that little "palace" we have the best entertainment system money can afford, every DVD known to man, Music galore, a huge computer/gaming system and the neeman marcus furinture collection. Outside the HOUSE the landscapers come on a regular basis to keep the yard look elegant and refreshed and further beyond that is the gate inwhich visitors have to be "buzzed" into the little "COMMUNE" From an outsider's perspective the lives of these two people look amazing, but what we don't see is the overtime hours the husband works to finance the 7bed-5bath House, the wife is constantly working opposite hours from the husband in a work enviroment that is taxing and relentless... We also do not see the average of 8-10 meals a week eaten on the run in fast food restarants ALONE and the stress on the marriage caused by all the time apart.
A person like myself would look at this enviroment and wonder WHY all the stress neither one of the people are ever home to enjoy all the toys that they have, they have no kids to fill the 7 bedroom home, and they never have time to have visitors over to enjoy the landscaping... WHAT'S THE POINT? The answer can be simply stated as this "STATUS" All the toys means a lot of respect and high regard left in the hearts of their few friends that they still have... All this stress is simply for a gate and a buzzer.

I have a blog fettish, what can I say!? And yeah, conservative wasn't quite the term I was looking for.
