Money to Burn?

I don’t know about you, but I do not have money to burn, yet it seems to be Americas favorite past time and all done in the name of helping humanity.

Here are three examples of what I am talking about. The first is the billions of dollars spent on Aids research. We are spending billions of dollars to cure a disease that is 100% preventable.

If you quarantined those who have it and did not allow them to continue to spread it, along with oh say trying to pick one partner instead of running the gambit of can I hit fifty by age 18 and if two people wait until marriage to have sex and once in marriage don’t cheat on each other. Oh and I know how insane this all must sound to some people, but fact is if this were done there would no longer be and STD’s let alone the Aids virus.

But the mentality is we would rather die.

The second example is all the money that goes into helping those who have gotten lung cancer for first and second hand smoke. Do I even have to say how this is preventable? But again the mentality is we would rather die.

And the third example that I will stop with is choosing to live somewhere that continually gets destroyed by hurricanes over and over.

That’s great that people have been willing to go down and help rebuild and all the money people have donated to help, but these people don’t need money, the need UHauls.

I honestly believe the slow hand of the government this last time was purposely done, trying to make a point of “We’re getting tired of paying millions of dollars because you choose to live somewhere that is going to continually be destroyed.”

Why should the government have to pay out all this money for aid, when they could simply live somewhere else? Again completely preventable and again “We would rather die.”

So the reality is we are not paying out billions of dollars due to natural disasters, we are paying out billions of dollars to man made disasters, we are paying out billions of dollars to enable people to make bad choices.

If you are amongst the few who give money to help others I would just ask that you try to direct it in areas where people are not bringing the problems on themselves.

Let’s focus our efforts on natural disasters and diseases that are not preventable. I don’t want anyone to die, but the billions of dollars spent on the preventable takes away from help for the unpreventable.

Make some good choices people, I know you can do it.
