capitolistic backwardness
you know what doesnt make any sense?!?!?
why certain people make so much money! for instance baseball players. is 10 million dollars a year really necessary? i understand that we the people pay a lot for things like tickets, jerseys and other paraphenalia.... but do they really need to charge that much? if anyone should be making that much it should be doctors.... they are the ones delivering babies and transplanting hearts... oh don't get me wrong i like baseball... in fact it's my favorite sport... it just seems that something is a little backwards here. I understand that we're in a capitalistic society here and people are willing to pay absurdly high prices for things. but they're just taking advantage of us average joes so that they can live like kings. too much money is being passed around for unworthy causes.... a couple other examples would be actors, musicians, real estate agents....... i could ellaborate a lot on what i think about this, but i am tired. maybe later.

amen sista! this is such a soapbox issue for me and i'm going to stand on it for a sec. front page of the newspaper (a while back) right next to the latest teacher strike was an 18 year old kid who got signed on a pro-basket ball team for 18 million a year! what?! what about the teachers who end up babysitting for parents, tutoring past hours in subjects like morality and dealing with life issues, &tc. ok... i think my second is over. whew.
