Babies That "Grow Up" with mom and dad paying for everything.

     First of all, people with parents able to assist them in their later life, twenties and on, should treat their parents with respect and honor.  When these sort of people "grow up" they have no idea of how the real world works unless they are paying attention.  Unfortunately most of them never "grow up" because the parents continue to enable the behavior of their "children."  The hard part is that when these "children" go too far in one way or another, the parents are no longer able to protect them.  Then the law gets involved and there is nothing left for them to protect.  Then they are left with a "child" who they really can't get behind because of the evidence of their out of control actions.  I know parents want to deny what their "kids"are doing.  I know they want to believe that their spawn is perfect.  When they are faced with reckless actions one after another, what is there left to do but finally hold their "children" accountable for what they have done and continue to do?  It really is a shame that the one's who are responsible for these "children" don't take responsibility, and continue to enable them. 

Where do I start?

     There are so many obvious ironies, most of them in plain sight, that I really don't know where to begin.  What I do know is that I promise to always tell the truth as "I see it."  I won't always be politically correct or even polite, at times, but I will always tell the truth as "I see it."
     One of the most obvious ironies that I can think of at this moment is the "crap" on the television.  I mean, have you seen the commercials and advertisements lately?  They are scandalous at best.  This is the country we live in and I don't believe that the "average Joe/Jane" gives a damn about what is going on, even in their own communities. 
     Most citizens are too busy getting up, getting ready, going to work, becoming overworked and excessively stressed out, then waiting for the weekend, and doing it all over again.
     How is this helping us?  Other than getting the everyday "stuff" done, what about what is going on right in front of us...On the news, in the paper, on the web?  Where are we as "Citizens" if we don't take an interest in things other than "American Idol" and "Facebook?" 
     I have my own media "issues", and I don't watch network television with commercials.  I stay away from magazines and most other political or highly opinionated publications...most of them drive me crazy.  Coming from someone who understands and has studied media, advertising, communications, demographics, and has lots of sales experience I sort of think it's strange that I feel this way.

One organization that is not an "irony."

     This organization is one that I can say is not "full of it," it you know what I mean.  I am an alumni and I have been a part of this collaboration for many years.  Especially for young women, this is the place to go if  you want to run your own business, and not spend your entire life working for someone else.
