I'm old and I have to push myself to the limit every day so I can log between 650 and 700 miles a day so my truck and my work togheter can make a profit. I want to take an early retirement at 62 so I can spend some quality time with my family and my grandchildren. I hope that God gives me a few more years. Cuidate mucho hermano.

But I hate to see thousands of young people joining the cartels and risking their life for a few dollars. That's what I think they are lazy because they don't like to get a regular, 8 hours a day job, I know it is hard to do so in small towns. But it is not so hard in the big cities right on the border, like El Paso, San Diego, Laredo or Brownsville. About the food stamps and welfare check offices, there is lots of corruption at the highest levels of managment, that's why.you see people that never worked, and that are able to work collecting benefits for years and driving brand new Cadillacs, when the regular hard working, honest citizen is lucky as hell if he/she can drive a 2000-2007 Toyota.

...Hola ->> July 17, 2012 12:12 AM <<--<br /><br />I truly appreciate your honesty and ability to communicate about your life in many details and what you wrote about your life meant something to me.<br /><br />It's a complicated world in many ways and for too many people things are not going well and WHO wouldn't want to see more people doing better?!<br /><br />As for my reaction to what you wrote where in your view, "Mexicans are lazy" I have a different view and all the Mexicans I am or have been con tact with are very hard workers and they feel good about themselves yet, they are underpaid big time, so much so that they can't keep up! Now we must also keep in mind that THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAT WORK WORK WORK, this must also be a life of having enough time off TO LIVE & TO CELEBRATE OUR EXISTENCE ON EARTH, of having pleasant experiences in our own free time, with family, with friends.<br /><br />I want to see Mexican people attain higher living standards, more wealth, less slavery, less hardship, THIS IS ON MY MIND & IN MY HEART everyday.<br /><br />When you said that Mexicans are lazy I jumped to the conclusion that you are an American and I got very upset because of things I have heard said about Mexicans where there seemed to be a complete absence of empathy toward the hardship that a great many Mexicans are unable to escape no matter how hard they try to better their situation.<br /><br />The only ones I have a problem with are those involved in serious crime hi-jacking the Mexico bogging it down, destroying life and forcing A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN & SUFFERING ON TO OTHERS! That EVIL force must be s.t.o.p.p.e.d. somehow.<br /><br />PS, beware of American propaganda about terrorist hiding under every rock! REMEMBER, bring into your awareness how things were BEFORE this 9/11 event was rammed down the American people's throat: WHERE WERE THE TERRORISTS BEFORE 9 / 11? !!!, and suddenly THE BOOGEYMEN MAN IS EVERYWHERE & EVERYBODY NOW MUST GIVE UP ALL THEIR RIGHTS YET WHAT HAVE THE AMERICANS BEEN DOING SINCE THAT EVENT? BOMBING COUNTRIES, KILLING CITIZEN, OVER THROWING GOVERNMENTS, ¿SOUND LIKE AN AGENDA TO YOU?!! All the wars America HAS CREATED were well planned A LONG TIME BEFORE 9 / 11 APPEARED !!<br /><br />The USA has been handed the task of bringing in the New World Order & that's why they are in foreign countries right now to destroy all sovereign nations & to destroy the values of those people.<br /><br />SensibleroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-82258487969232731222012-07-17T13:17:55.902-06:002012-07-17T13:17:55.902-06:00All this arguing is irrelevant.

I am not trying to provoke like you said. But ...No! I am not trying to provoke like you said. But as I said took me 24 years to own 4 big trucks, and I paid thousands of dollars in taxes. The only thing you need to know is that I am a mexican american with lots of family on both sides of the border. Besides that I am a disabled combat veteran. I served many years with the 82nd, and my 6 sons have served either in Iraq or Afghanistan. I, like I said paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes, plus whatever I paid in social security.and medicare, I old and still can not afford to retire, because the politicians at the top.of.the US Government put a lot of money.helping people who at least 80% don't want even to try to find a job. If I want my tax money to go to the defense department or homeland security is for the only reason that we need to provide our soldiers with whatever they need abroad to finish their job, so they can come and help to protect our borders, and if needed go into Mexico to end the cartels bullshit of killing innocent people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-74857892433666538952012-07-16T22:06:29.149-06:002012-07-16T22:06:29.149-06:00Those women are widows or are alone because their ...Those women are widows or are alone because their husbands are dead or in jail only because they made bad decisions, because they didn't want to work hard, they wanted easy money, and well shit happens, but that doesn't mean that we tax payers have to support their families.

And if any of them get sick THEN WHAT?, who will take care of any of the sick women, the worker who was feeding a family? And till when will they be doing this, till they're 65?! Who would want to do that type of work for even 10 years?<br /><br />These women need a future and the Slave Labor needs to be replaced with something MUCH better. Let machines do the work, give these women something easier to do. <br /><br />If I had a big bundle of money I would not hesitate making a big difference in as many people lives as possible & without delay, these are my true feelings.<br /><br />SBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-78561418798981202362012-07-16T13:20:17.133-06:002012-07-16T13:20:17.133-06:00Yes!
