"I'm 76 and I'm Tired" – by Bill Cosby

I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've
worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in
50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary,
but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the
economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my
work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by
force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read
dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their
family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering
Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for
girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims
mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and
Shari'a law tells them to.

I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi
Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa
Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada,
while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious
school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..


I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which
no one is allowed to debate.



I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and
treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley,
grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while
they tried to fight it off?


I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking
about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they
think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of
entitlement, rich or poor.


I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions I'm
tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for
their problems.


I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early
20's bedeck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-
employable and claiming money from the Government.


Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to
have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and
her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
