Ordinary people do extraordinary things. They rise at 3 am to work 12 hours every day. Still there is not enough money. Ordinary people ride the bus, and drive old cars, and walk to work. They sit by the river and talk to each other. They talk about the economy, the election, the insensitive boss at work. Sometimes they say nothing at all. Ordinary people love their children. They like cats or dogs. They cut the lawn on Saturday afternoon. Sometimes ordinary people stay home on Sunday to do the laundry instead of going to Church because they work Monday through Saturday. Ordinary people work in strip clubs and factories. Ordinary people complain about the President, and politics, and the rising cost of gas, but they love their country. They are European, African, Asian, Hispanic, male, female, young and old. They empty bed pans in nursing homes, and they empty their wallets when a neighbor is in need. They build bridges over rivers and between generations. Ordinary people have little, but the greater the need, the more they give -- their time, their money, their love. They work all day and go to school at night, because ordinary people want a better life. They wait tables and wait for pay day. They pay the taxes and pay the consequences when the government wastes their money. Ordinary people do extraordinary things.

Ordinary People
Ordinary people do extraordinary things. They rise at 3 am to work 12 hours every day. Still there is not enough money. Ordinary people ride the bus, and drive old cars, and walk to work.

For those of you living in the US...I have actually, for the first time in my life come to pity you. The Chinese own most of the US debt (means they own you), the president on the way in is either a stereotyped joke portrayed by Morgan Freeman in a disaster movie or white oppresive ballbuster who has a pedophile smile, the president on the way out is so jealous of giving up his crown that he wants to nuke the country before he leaves, even if he can't use real bombs to do it; to make things worse, if teh country is rescued by the wall street bailout, China will just say, pay us the debt you owe or you are now officially part of China...if the wall street bailout is cancelled...then, well, the hadron collider might as well have been built there so it can go nova in your heartland and vaporise you to save you from the dirty 30's happening all over again. Get used to the idea of the great depression 2009.
