Hello I am tikay which I made up from my initals (T.K.) which is short for Tracey Kaye...I grew up as Tracey Kaye Hill in (you guessed it) the Southen state of Tennessee, and a bit of time in Florida...we lived there for a year. In three different towns.

I love this country but it has a many (mostly obvious) problems, politically, that is.
I think the recent reaction to the massive hurricane "Katrina", in New Orleans, and the reaction to the airplane bombings to New York's Twin Towers, are just another reflection of the rather extreme people we have in high places here.

There are many unbalanced people in this country and it is amazing to me that people want to immigrate here, and to live here, when they have options to get out!
Except for the Natural Beauty which can be found everywhere!

don't get me wrong I know some other countrys are much worse but gee, some others are so very much better!
I am old compared to most of you, but I am not ashamed of this fact I am happy I have the experiences which come with some years! I just turned 44 in Febuary...but don't let that keep you from talking to me about anything! I am pretty darned open-minded.
I must say I deplore war though. But love the peaceful warrior. I just despise the killing of innocents,(civilians) and of taking away the young soldiers innocense, with the curse of wars. ( Has anyone in time, ever left a war, un-scarred? I seriously doubt it.)
What we need are some peaceful solutions!!!!
(Less selfishness in politics)

i bid you adieu....4 now!

People are living in absolutely different countries and political systems. You compare countries with relatively high level of life. But many people from poor countries dream to change their poverty to "riches" in USA or Canada, EU or anywhere also. Hurricanes and bombings can't csare them. They have got this one permanently.

For me it is just the epitomy of foolishness to move to a country full of serial killers and psycopaths....of gang warfare and and drug abuses galore...of rampant prostitution and pornography, full of child molesters...who may choose your kid...and a great potential for the loss of identity....and the elimination of traditional cultures through homaginization, where you are integrated into the masses...so much you risk becoming invisible.....if you are ready for this sort of challange insted of improving your own home, and staying where you are then come on over....one and all....but who is left to improve the countries everyone is pulling out on??? Many of us in America, would gladly live in more poverty to escape some of this mess!
I would gladly escape my country for one with more poverty but less insanity.
In fact it has long been my plan...but I too live on the edges of poverty....did you think everyone here just makes it?
Poverty is [b]so common here too~! add that to the drugs on every corner and their abusers in every community. It is a big mess that is often being ignored!!![/b]
Mentally ill persons, are not taken care of in this country, they live in the streets....people buying and selling drugs are everywhere....guns are going off...people are beheaded in the next town over (they just found a dismembered body in my next town over...stuffed into a shopping cart..the head no where to be seen... I am just sick of it).. . JUST SO SICK about the current America.
And people flock here as if it is Disneyland or something...it is nuts to me.
AND I cant seem to get enough money together to, take my sons and daughters to a better life! :roll:
But on the bright side... if you are hyper-aware... OR you can live in a state of quasi-ignorance...as I have to do, to avoid drpression, every single day... and pretend it is not so bad to get you through the days and nights, until you can escape the hell that people run to.
I feel just like the people who want to move here, in other words! (I want out of the mess!)
I do suggest there are far HEALTHIER PLACES TO GO...SUCH AS CANADA AND EUROPE.

(I like your little puppy pic...Cucumber)
But Innocense is lost in America...she is like a junkie whore who needs rehabilitation,and the politicians are only going to keep screwing her, apparently...because they live in comfort high up on some hill in a gaurded manse) and they dont really love her for her potential...they just want another good BJ.
