Things I just don't understand

For obvious reasons I have had some extra time on my hands. During these times recently I was pondering about some things in the world that I will never understand. Below are just a few I can think of right now. If you have any please add them.

  1. Why don't we have better candidates running for President? Really is Hillary, Obama, and Rudy the best this Country has to offer? I am just not thrilled with any of the candidates who are throwing their hats into the ring. I can't be the only one who feels this way? I am sure the people who aspire to be the next president are all smart and want what is best for this Country. It's just I am not impressed with any of them. I suppose it must be coming from the recent job interviews I have had. During a job interview the potential employee should attempt to portray a professional individual who can immediately add value for the Employer. When listening to these candidates I don't hear anything on how they can benefit myself or my country. Maybe I am just not listening?
  2. I am not a Yankees fan. I repeat I am not a Yankees Fan. I am a Philadelphia Phillies fan and very proud of the year they had. Even though I am not a Yankee supporter I even know that Joe Torre received a raw deal from the Yankee brass. You just are not going to find a classier more professional person to represent an organization or baseball in general. Don't get me wrong I don't feel sorry for him. He had a great run with the Yanks. He just should of been treated so much better.
  3. Why can't the US mint print more money? If we could make sure the money would go to the poor then why not print some more bills? Its not like Robin Hood. No one is robbing from one to give to another. I am sure their is a very logical reason for why this can't be done. I just don't know the answer. It just made me think this morning with all the areas in this country impacted from catastrophes that range from Hurricanes to the recent fires on the west coast. If an individual can't support his or her family then why not print some money and give it to them? Maybe then I could disprove my parents and show them money does grow on trees. I suppose this whole idea is to Star Trekish for most. In Star Trek the only form of currency was the barter system. They searched the galaxies for knowledge and to boldly go where no man has gone before. I guess if they did do it for money Captain Kirk would have stayed with the green hottie on Mars. I heard she came from a wealthy family. Or was she blue?

Remember to make good decisions!
