Last night, I was talking with my friend Tricia and she was telling me about these Peace Corps people that went to Bohol (in the Visayas, Philippines) to learn how to scuba dive. It turns out these cats are learning to dive and vacationing in my homeland on my dime. During their stay, they are housed with a host family in the country where they are staying. "Host" is a good word because it really sounds like these Peace Corps hippies are "parasites." On top of that, they get $6000 after their tour of duty is complete.
And these parasites are the worst of the worst type of American. According to Tricia, they're all hippies, they don't wash or change their clothes but they wear Birkenstocks, and I suspect they even have that stuck-up "I am a White American and therefore better than you brown people" attitudes. That's all fine and good -- but how the hell are you gonna not change your clothes when you're sweating your ass off in a tropical paradise?
To top it off, Tricia read a headline on Yahoo! that said that $353 million is not enough for the Peace Corps to expand its operations. Hey, an easy way to save money is to not pay for diving lessons. Sounds logical, right? $353 million, man! You can buy a fighter plane for that kind of money. Do you know how many Iraqis you can kill with $353 million?! This country is ass-backwards.
This makes me glad that minorities in America are out-breeding white folk. Soon it'll be my brown kids vacationing in the tropics on taxpayer funds.

Would you be as bothered about this issue, if it was minorities taking advantage of the surplus resources? I don’t believe that “the man” or “white people” are the only ones who have the “I am better than you” complex. You can say that about a lot of Americans who inhabit a less developed country. They see the general public as inferior to them and stand taller because of that mind-set. Anyway, this country has always been “ass-backwards” and uneconomical. One of the main reasons they get away with so much is because we like to complain, but don’t take action by voting etc. So in the end, the inactive citizens of the U.S. of America are somewhat to blame for the “goings ons” (Berny Mac) in our government. And I am one of them.
