It never ceases to amaze me how complacent Americans have become with respect to our politics. We actually have a level of corrruption that we allow! That should come as no shock to anyone as it isn't any really earthshaking news. But when I was running the other day, it really struck me that we whine about everything incessantly, yet we rarely do anything about it besides hope that the other side wins in the next election.
As for that matter, why is it always rich people that win? I mean besides money, power, connections, and access to more powerful people, what do the rich really have?
Well, they have a vested interest in keeping themselves rich and that is a fact. Really, does anyone say, "Man, I want to be poor one day!"
It is so infuriating to see the same ol' arguments being dredged up by the lackluster politicians day after day: gay marriage, abortion, and who is more Christian.
What a frigging pathetic group of never-do-wells do we have supposedly representing us. Yet, like a Paris Hilton trip to the clink, most people will stand transfixed to their particular candidate as if he or she is the next messiah. Where is the real debate of health care or education or the environment (beyond just that of global warming)? We are a nation that can't even take care of its own.
Well, it is certain too early to be erudite or wax philosophical with any great depth. Besides, I am going to Disney. Maybe the Mouse has some answers.
