Tired of the flu and government

Is it okay to be tired of hearing about the flu here in Mexico and school being closed and the government threatening to fine churches, restaurants and schools if they don´t abide by their rules? Is it okay when we don't agree with the way the powers that be? Are we supposed to always agree with what government tells us and do it like sheep following along blindly a shepherd?

If it is okay, then I say I am tired of how the Mexican media and government has threatened and bullied the people of Mexico. They get bullied and oppressed enough, why does their own government have to do this to them as well? Illegal immigrants get bullied and discriminated in the US on a regular basis by those who live in ignorance and fear. Many legal aliens from Mexico and other Latin American nations are treated poorly by many Americans, including some businesses who treat them as slave laborers and not creations of God.

Maybe I am tired of more than the flu, maybe I am tired of other things too, like racism and ignorance and hatred. Yes, I think I am tired of all of these and oppression too. What's oppression? When someone of a higher economic or political status places burdens and weights too heavy to carry on others who are less fortunate or have lower status. I better stop there, because I have other things I am tired of that the United States government does to its own people and to people in other lands. So, let's stop so that I don't get placed on someone's naughty list.

I do think it is okay to admit we don't agree with how something is done or how our governing bodies are doing their job. It seemed like the American people cried out for a change in government this past election, but somehow we got more of the same, but much worse. It appears we are going to be taxed into oblivion by the government that is in power, and mind you, it's not just one person, it is two houses, two parties, and many men and women in control. So we should spread the blame around, or credit.

I think I should stop here. Somes like I am complaining. Freedom of speech allows me to, I think...
