What's going on...

Some scary but worthwhile reading, about that news from the front, and something to shake things up...

There's been a lot of talk in political circles of late that feature the word "envy" and it's been on my mind...

Now, most of the folks I hear using the word envy could have taken the time to actually look up what it means but in today's world of news and politics facts and using words that make sense is not so much in fashion.

To say folks wanting the system to be fair or that it would be nice to have a level playing field and equal rights has zippity doo dah to do with the word envy...

It simply has to do with wanting your rights as laid out by our founding fathers and the rule of law to treat us all equally which, I think you'd all agree, is no bad thing.

Now what the hell does that have to do with being on a boat?

Well, because there is something I envy that some folks back home have and is missing in the cruising world... I miss the cultural diversity that was part of my growing up. Where are the Hispanic, Asian, and African-American cruisers?

Just something to think about today...
