The Depressing State of our Nation.

I am just about through affiliating to one side or another. It's so completely depressing to me that people no longer search for level ground, about anything. Republicans want what the Republicans want their money, and their imperialism, their "Free Strong country." The Independants ignore everyone, and then you've got the "Hillary" Democrats fighting for women's right to be president and how great she is, and how wonderful our country could be if we could just put Hillary in the Whitehouse, as the say "again." Then there's the "Obama" Democrats that are "Choosing change," choosing change would be everyone go on a voter's strike and saying shut the hell up for a minute and let me think, to the media.



That brings me to the first depressing subject that poses our nation today. The media's overall effect on opinion, and moreso, it's sway in the election. In itself is throwing the entire nation around, leaving every last person to come up with an unintellgent opinion based on he said she said, and what they see on TV. Take a double take on what's really going on, and people may soon see that there's an intensely logical answer that's acceptable under every term of thinking. Every political, religious, and even personal thought affiliation there can possibly be to date.

I received an email today once again bashing the backround and religious affiliation of Barack Obama. This is such an unintelligent bias. If you don't like that he's so called "unamerican," don't bash him, just don't VOTE for him. One, you shouldn't care if he has a crazy uncle in Kenya, or a cousin named after Fidel Castro. Two, check your facts before sending that crap on, because it's fake. If you plan on spreading weird things, then keep it among yourselves, there are people in this world who look at who he is, not what.

Now, on to you Hillary lovers. United we stand, divided we fall. She's been instituting a lot of citizen involvement in the United States, I like that. What I don't like is Hillary's supporters complaining that Obama supporters are down on her, or give her no respect. What I like even less is that they aren't un based in their opinions. It's a little sickening, everyone in the Democratic party is yelling at eachother of Reuters/CNN/CSPAN and every other Political blog on the internet (besides this one, of course), getting nowhere and causing more conflict than it's worth. Call me a pacifist, but can't we all just get along? (and decide on a cantidate?)

Republican's, for once, are doing alright. Except for the whole Vietnam vet not supporting the GI bill. What's up with that? Is the Iraqi war not big enough for compinsation, or is it out of spite. Come on now John. Please, don't be THAT guy. Other than the capitolism/big business rich-getting-richer poor-getting-poorer, thing, Republican's have done ok at choosing a cantidate...I'm concerned with the running mate desicion.

All in all, this is my great frusteration. There isn't much more to put our country in a pickle than a wacked out election, and a war. That there, my friends, is the bottom line.

How about them Apples?

Welcome yourself to America-The fast food nation. Where everyone sits around on their asses not actually giving a damn about anyone or anything. The country where everyone is fat, happy, and over payed. The Mindless frivolity is enough to make one wish they lived in a less organized, more productive society. It could span from high schools telling students with a 3.0, they aren't good enough to get anywhere in life . To workers, making $8/hr not being able to make ends meet. Since WHEN did the head of America inflate so large they can't see past the end of their noses.

Capitalism is becoming a pedantic, repetitive, place, every company making their own goal more pertinent than the rest. It's not necessarily selfishness of individuals that's translating into big business is it? Could it be that we're just boring ourselves and numbing our society day in and day out that quite possibly makes everyone so overbearingly apathetic towards everything but power and money.

Politics does not differentiate in the least. Everyone is living and letting live, and all that really happens is the gain of the capital rule with every half-way decent left OR right wing political (state and national) institution. It's put every baby boomer governmental revolutionist the idea that no one really gives a damn. The "me" generation never really woke up-ever-thanks for 20 years of bullshit guys! gotta love the apathy.

What people are lacking is the knowledge that everyone seems to long-NOT-for. How frustrating. What then, do people do? Will we keep letting proper ideals slip through their proverbial fingers-It's no longer against the rules to know what's going to know what's going on. That's my job isn't it? to INFORM. Generally if you're reading this, information is what you're looking for.

The problem here is standing up and the power of continuation of truth. How exactly does anyone plan on changing the world. If they can' simply get their asses up from the latest MTV hit, and look for a bit of qualified political and useful euphemisms that may at least help one form an opinion-have an OPINION! Don't stand by and let yourself think that because it isn't DIRECTLY relative to you, doesn't disqualifying it from effecting your quality of life.

Eat from the tree of CNN and CSPAN- The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will even suffice for a small bit of personal opinion-the issue at hand in society isn't Republican VS Democrat. It's people believing instead of idealising! That is a flaw in America society. Everyone sittin on their asses getting fat instead of standing up and moving forward.. It's not what the opinion is as lonas it's educated, it's that you have one-that's the bottom line.
