The best of times the worst of times

Here we are in 2008 and in the greatest nation on earth we have amongst others, a woman and a black man running for President. Now mind you, I have nothing but total dislike and disdain for both of these candidates but that's not my point. I feel like we as a society are on the brink of reaching a very real shift in collective attitude. In my book that's a very good thing.

I was in Las Vegas this past week for the furniture show. This place ranks in my poll as the #1 most disgusting place in America. If I think for one minute our society has progressed I only have to experience Vegas for about 8 hours to realize differently. Where else do you see scores of "loving parents" wheeling their infants and small children past the prostitutes through casinos filled with drunks? Or the numerous "happily married" -fill in any convention - attendees walking around with hookers so their buddies will be impressed. Really??? I think they must be overcompensating for something.

LV is the worst place in the country. It makes me sick. I don't see how they thought they were going to make it "family friendly?" Really, w/ boobs on every billboard and porn all around? Well, OK, the boy might like it but I would have to blindfold him the whole time we were there.
