laugh with friends, love with all of your heart and live life to the fullest. You never know when your first chance could be your last to make mistakes.

Who says that we should live like this?
Who says that we have to suffer?
How do we survive with as little as we now have?
What should we do to keep ourselves alive?
Who makes the rules for how our living conditions should be?
Who says that we have to be americans?

For all of these questions that we ask only one person can answer them. But the real question is, who says that we have to believe in what he says?

I just turned 18 and i started realizing more and more, how hard life has become. This year my family can't even afford to buy a christmas tree because the economy is so bad, but i do owe all of this recession to our very own dear president Obama. I know that it's "illegal" to talk bad about him but how can i be so preoud of what he has done to our nation just so far when i can't even afford to pay for a christmas gift for my 4 year old nephew?
