enough with the political bullshit!!

ok, people are going crazy.

note: if you are one of these people, please do not view this entry as a personal attack. I don't want to start a fight. I just want to somehow, even if it's just through the small and insignificant means of a diaryland entry, stand up for what has now become the minority view.

ahh!!!!! there are people online and people who are my friends and people who appear to be intelligent who are slowly slowing losing a bit of respect from me...

I hate politics.

I choose to stay far removed from them. why work yourself into a frenzy over something that you realistically can't change anyways?

we have become a nation of finger-pointing. we have become a society of finger-pointing. nothing is our fault. the president sucks. the government sucks. we are oppressed. we have no freedom. yada, yada, yada.

we keep asking for laws to be written to protect us and then complain that the laws take away our personal freedom. what is it that you want??

everyone wants money. everyone thinks that their cause is the most worthy. everyone has their own passions and cannot be dissuaded.

there's only so much money. no wonder we are in debt...which is another thing that people complain about.

I was in student congress for a few years in college. once I joined, I stuck with it through senior year. I don't know why sometimes, it was one of the most frustrating things ever.

yet I think I took from it some very valuable lessons.

people suck. everyone is innately selfish and wants the best for themselves. everyone genuinely believes that what they need money for, or time or attention given to is right. everyone complains when they do not get what they want.

it was hard making decisions. it was hard trying to convince the rest of the student congress to agree with what my opinion of what we should do with a proposal was.

government is not perfect. it is made up of people. and people make mistakes. but that does not mean that it is a type of big-brother destroyer of freedom.

we submit ourselves to the rules of government. even the rules we do not agree with. I would like to say that that we do it because we recognize the need for order, and not chaos, within a nation. no one will EVER EVER EVER agree on anything, so this means that people are always going to be mad.

you can be mad, you can disagree. but trying to impeach the president or blame the hurricane on him is ridiculous.

a lot of people in this country are starting to act like rebellious teenagers, the government and the president our parents.

the key to growing up is realizing that our parents are just people like us, only older, with a bit more experience...and they still make mistakes.

there's something great and free-ing about growing up and accepting the reality of what is - instead of always trying to remain a teen and rebel against it, whether that rebellion is in thoughts, words or actions.
