SICK AND TIRED OF "POLITICS"

SICK AND TIRED OF "POLITICS"-I am. In the grand scheme of all things, days gone by are just that, days gone by. I saw a streaming photo display of 1950's and 60's appliances, small screen black & white TV's, metal food trays for the new and amazing "microwave", a food processor or blender, metal ice cube trays with "fast release handle"; simply amazing technology. Wow, in just a few decades, we've gone from small time invention to globalization. In the meantime, we've created a lazy "I don't want to be creative society" that is hell bent on becoming burned out spectators of the human evolution.

We are children of the greatest industrial revolution on earth the last 120 years and yet it seems we are sitting on the back of the bus waiting for the next tech toy we can buy on credit to amaze us and be used to communicate with our favorite girlfriend or boyfriend in various sexual overtures. WE DON'T MAKE ANYTHING OF VALUE ANYMORE! What happened to the invention of new ways to better our lives, our souls and the development of family. We can't wait to get some where faster, easier, and with the least effort. We don't talk anymore, have family dinners, walks along the fence lines, or even look at Nana or Papa's old photos. We are numb to human interaction, the feeling of warmth from a simple smile or handshake. The feeling that you are needed by others and that others need you.

The videos of two second global news of the latest bomb blasts or the shooting of innocent children has become as thin as paper in our thought pattern. WE JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE. Unless its on your street or near your home, it's not happening.

TAKE A MOMENT, LOOK AROUND, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, REMEMBER WHY YOU WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH!

AMERICA HAS CANCER - It's called "POLITICS"

America has Cancer- It's called "POLITICS" Today's version of the political soundbite is either "A" a lie, or "B" twisted facts. I still say that television producers would increase their ratings if they drew a small red box on the bottom right corner of the screen, that simply said (after a political soundbite) "fact" or "fiction". I've been spewing this for months, and no one seems to care or they like the controversy they create by having the left and the right side views shouting over top of each other about the latest "hot" topic of the week. Integrity be damned, we're going with our leadership talking points, and that's our story and we're sticking with it. The American public, specifically the general voter, doesn't stand a chance of understanding what they are really voting for, unless you are a complete junkie and have access to pre-described legislation to be enacted. However, the tone of Washington is dramatic idealism and damn if we care what the public thinks. Roll over in your graves grand forefathers, you deserve it.
