A MESSAGE FROM BILL COSBY: READ,LEARN AND GROW


"I'm 83 and Tired"
I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for
when I was doing my National Service, I
put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable
salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my
income, and I worked to get where I am.
Given the economy, it looks as though
retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired.
Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to
"spread the wealth" to people who don't
have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told
the government will take the money I
earned, by force if necessary, and give it to
people too lazy to earn it. I'm tired of being told that Islam is a
"Religion of Peace," when every day I can
read dozens of stories of Muslim men
killing their sisters, wives and daughters
for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting
over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they
aren't "believers"; Muslims burning schools
for girls; Muslims stoning teenage rape
victims to death for "adultery"; Muslims
mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in
the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of
"tolerance for other cultures" we must let
Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use
our oil money to fund mosques and
Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and
Canada , while no one from these countries
are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or
religious school in Saudi Arabia or any
other Arab country to teach love and
tolerance.. I'm tired of being told I must lower my
living standard to fight global warming,
which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts
have a disease, and I must help support
and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark
alley, grab them, and stuff white powder
up their noses or stick a needle in their
arm while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes,
entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid
mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all
know they think their only mistake was
getting caught. I'm tired of people with a
sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions.
I'm tired of hearing them blame the
government, or discrimination or big-
whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young
men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck themselves in tattoos and
face studs, thereby making themselves
unemployable and claiming money from
the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be
83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making.
I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and
their children. Thank God I'm on the way
out and not on the way in. There is no way
this will be widely publicized, unless each
of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
“I’m 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree
you are part of the problem!
