Less is More, More or Less

Thanks for listening is being brought to you this evening via wireless radio.

I remember my grandmother actually using fire to cook meals. She used a wood stove and made some of the tastiest meals known to man (except when she served mutton of course). Now it’s fireless cooking with microwave ovens and crock pots.

Remember using a key to open your house or car or motel room? Today we’re living in a keyless society.

Back in the day when you got a flat tire on your one-speed balloon-tired bicycle, it usually could be fixed with a patch on the inner tube. Car tire repair entailed jacking up the car, removing the tire from the rim, patching the inner tube, maybe putting a boot in the tire and replacing the tire. Today everything is tubeless.

A great deal of our work force is jobless, we have shameless leaders and about 50 percent of our relationships are meaningless. Seems marriage isn’t as important as it used to be. People actually strived to earn that 50th wedding anniversary back in the day.

We are inundated with fatherless babies which shows we have heartless feelings.

We are moving into a paperless society being able to pay our bills and do our shopping over the internet.

Sleepless in Seattle, strapless gowns, stingless razors, scentless bug spray, timeless stories, windowless envelopes, smokeless powder, sugarless gum and endless circles.

Sometimes I feel advanced education is valueless.

We are raising a generation of mannerless young folks who aren’t acquainted with the words “please” or “thank you,” “yes, Ma’am” or "yes, Sir”.

Seems today everything is less and hope is endless. I’m struck speechless when I think of how much of our freedom of speech has been wrested from us in an effort to make us more politically correct.

With a $19 trillion debt and absolutely no way to pay it off without dipping into our oil reserves and becoming the worlds’ number one supplier of oil and gas (now there’s a great idea), our politicians remain mindless. They spend and spend and spend some more, dipping into the bottomless money pit. Which, in itself wouldn’t be bad except for some of the things on which they spend our money. This phenomenon makes the politicians worthless as I see it.

That’s it for now folks. Thanks for listening
