Topic : 03/27 Fifteen Minutes of Fame

Some of the people my age (44) and older and younger are the ones who RAISED THIS "ME" generation. We have to accept much of the blame for the ways our children turned out, behave, etc.

After the 2001 terrorists attack on U.S. soil, people first pulled together. Their priorities were straight...for awhile. They realized that family was/is #1. They returned to chruches in record numbers. Sadly, it will take more attacks and more bad times for the spoiled, self-indulgent people of this country to truly learn what is important!

Being good to eachother and leading healthy, peaceful, spiritual lives is what keeps our country strong. All these "ME' people are going to group up and lead sad, unhappy, unhealthy lives....mostly alone. HOPEFULLY they will get help and work toward bettering themselves. I can't imagine living the way they do! Life is just too short for that!

One of your guests in particular, discussed having over half a million friends on my space. Let me say from personal experience, my space is a dangerous playground. I found that the majority of profiles posted on my space, are individuals living on the dark side of life. The website came to my attention by sheer luck, and a good friend that was attempting to find the answers to her step daughters wild and questionable behavior. I rented one of my homes to two brothers, that desperately needed a place to call home. The younger of the two boys was in fact dating the friends step daughter. After eight months of agonizing hell dealing with these boys, I had to serve them with an eviction notice. The boys were given seven days to pack up and vacate the premises. The boys spent that week causing approximately $20,000.00 worth of damage to the house. Almost everyday of the month following the eviction, the older boy would call and threaten to burn down my house. I explained to the boys that I would only hold their belongings for thirty days, and then it would all be tossed in a dumpster. My friend suggested I surf the web and check out myspace.com. She informed me that my house was quite the hot topic on that particular website. I followed her advice, and got more than I bargained for. The older boy had a photo posted, flipping off the camera, with a caption that read '3330 who knows bout' that'. That is the address of the house that was destroyed. And what I found continued to get worse. I contacted that boy, and confronted him with my findings. On day 31 following the boys leaving my property, the house was set on fire. Following that ordeal, the older boy then called and threatened to burn down my personal residence, which is valued at over a million dollars. Let me just say, these two boys definately recieved their 15 minutes of fame, and a whole lot more.
