Isn't It Something......


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't it something that drunk drivers responsible for fatalities or serious injuries to others usually walk away from an accident without a scrape!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Isn't it something that Prime Minister, David Cameron's speech  to a Jewish group about the Holocaust included the kind, considerate comments "Tell us what you think we should do and let us make sure we commemorate  these dreadful events and make sure that here in Britain no one ever forgets what happened and we swear together; never again".  His curt, inconsiderate statement to the Jamaican Parliamentarians about slavery  - "We can move on from this painful legacy..." Both historic events represent  atrocities committed against humans and neither one should and will be forgotten.

Isn't it something how the oppressed has become the oppressors!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it something that a VW executive when questioned in Congress on the car's emission scandal was quick to point the finger at middle management employees and deny his or other executive's knowledge of the matter. What a cowardly act to blame others instead of taking responsibility!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something that after the senseless massacre of nine persons at Umpqua Community College, it is business as usual for the staging of gun shows in Oregon!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something and hypocritical that the U.S. government is chastising the Soviet Union for carrying out air strikes on able-bodied men who chose to fight a battle in Syria while a U.S. led team bombed a Doctors' Without Boarder hospital with vulnerable patients and a volunteer medical teem.

Isn't it amazing that over the years, as routine mass shootings occur and innocent people continue to lose their lives, the American congress refuse to get their act together to implement gun safety laws. Those Congress lawmakers opposing gun safety laws give the impression that mass shootings will never affect them, their family, or loved ones so they don't care to amend the law.

Isn't it something that the north east has been experiencing an unusual hurricane trend while these storms are not as prevalent in the south as they were over the past years.  Can we say climate change!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it something that someone can waste so much time and energy showing hatred and anger to another person who is not even concerned or thinking about the disgruntled person.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something that the internet is one of the greatest inventions, but its misuse by some can make it one of the worse inventions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Isn't it something that research shows that concussions have caused severe brain injuries to football players and this had lead to some committing suicide. Yet, parents continue to push their boys into playing football in hopes of them becoming rich and famous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Isn't it something when the job that you've always wanted turns out to be more than you can handle!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Isn't it something that Mexicans are called illegal for entering the land that was originally a part of Mexico! It is inevitable that even with fences to keep Mexicans from their own land, they will reclaim it one day through generations of Mexican Americans who will become the majority in Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Colorado.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something that those pissed off at ObamaCare don't ever have to worry about health insurance since they and their family are fully covered!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Isn't it something that university students are paying athletic fees to absorb the million dollar costs of their football teams even those non-performing teams. The worse thing is that these fees help to increase student loan debt.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something to watch an interview conducted by an American reporter with ethnic or people of color from other countries and see sub-titles at the bottom of the screen. The sub-titles are meant to interpret the English of those from  another country. However, the irony is that often times the person being interviewed is speaking better English than the American conducting the interview! Strangely enough, subtitles are never seen on programs such as "The Eastenders".

Isn't it something that people complain about being over weight., Yet these are the same people who jostle to get the parking space closest to the door of a building instead of parking away from the building and walking to get exercise.

Isn't it something that the person cleaning a classroom at a college/university may have health insurance, vacation days, sick days, retirement etc. while an adjunct professor works without benefits. .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it something that college sports such as football and basketball bring in millions of dollars for institutions while the players making this happen would live in poverty if they did not have an athletic scholarships.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Isn't it something that some in the U.S. complain about immigrants taking over jobs when many Americans who are unemployed would not consider applying for these jobs.
