Things I don't get - July 2009 edition

1. Why have over a million people requested tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial service? He may have been a great singer in the 80's, but what he turned into in the 90's was not good.
2. Why was Steve McNair, football player who was killed over the weekend, living in an apartment with a 20 year old girlfriend, when he was still married?
3. Why can't Sarah Palin get a break? When she runs for office, she gets slammed by the media, when she resigns, she gets slammed by the media. Can't they just leave her alone?
4. Why do people think the government can run any thing. Look at all the entitlement programs and how expensive them have become. So why is the government running General Motors, Chrysler, and all the bad banks? Can someone name one thing the government runs that is on or below budget?
5. Why are people surprised at the rising cost of health care? New drugs and equipment costs money, things like MRI machines and CAT scans were not around 20 years ago, so of course cost more now than they used to.
6. Why do some people blindly follow preachers today without checking them out, and see if they are preaching biblical truth?
7. Why some people think things like the Bible and the Constitution need to change with the times. These are two things that never need to change.
8. Why some people think if they believe it that it is true?
9. Why some people are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again
10. Why Jesus died for me, but he did!
