Im 83. Except for brief period in the

50s when I was doing my NationalService, Ive worked hard since I was

17. Except for some serious healthchallenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, anddidnt call in sick in nearly 40 years. I

made a reasonable salary, but I didntinherit my job or my income, and I

worked to get where I am. Given theeconomy, it looks as though retirement

was a bad idea, and Im tired. Verytired.

Im tired of being told that I have tospread the wealth to people who

dont have my work ethic. Im tired ofbeing told the government will take

the money I earned, by force ifnecessary, and give it to people toolazy to earn it.

Im tired of being told that Islam is a

Religion of Peace, when every day Ican read dozens of stories of Muslim

men killing their sisters, wives and

daughters for their family honor; ofMuslims rioting over some slight

offense; of Muslims murderingChristian and Jews because they arent

believers; of Muslims burning schoolsfor girls; of Muslims stoning teenage

rape victims to death for adultery; ofMuslims mutilating the genitals of littlegirls; all in the name of Allah, because

the Quran and Sharia law tells them to.

Im tired of being told that out oftolerance for other cultures we mustlet Saudi Arabia and other Arab

countries use our oil money to fundmosques and madrassa Islamic

schools to preach hate in Australia ,New Zealand , UK, America andCanada , while no one from these

countries are allowed to fund a church,synagogue or religious school in SaudiArabia or any other Arab country to

teach love and tolerance..

Im tired of being told I must lower myliving standard to fight global warming,

which no one is allowed to debate.

Im tired of being told that drugaddicts have a disease, and I musthelp support and treat them, and pay

for the damage they do. Did a giant

germ rush out of a dark alley, grab

them, and stuff white powder up theirnoses or stick a needle in their arm

while they tried to fight it off?

Im tired of hearing wealthy athletes,

entertainers and politicians of allparties talking about innocent

mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthfulmistakes, when we all know they think

their only mistake was getting caught.Im tired of people with a sense of

entitlement, rich or poor.

Im really tired of people who dont

take responsibility for their lives andactions. Im tired of hearing them

blame the government, ordiscrimination or big-whatever for theirproblems.

Im also tired and fed up with seeing

young men and women in their teensand early 20s be-deck themselves in

tattoos and face studs, thereby making

themselves un-employable andclaiming money from the Government.

Yes, Im tired. But Im also glad to be

83.. Because, mostly, Im not going tohave to see the world these people are

making. Im just sorry for mygranddaughter and their children.Thank God Im on the way out and not

on the way in.
