I read a facebook note/post/comment whatever where a friend of mine said that he has not "voted for" someone in a a long time, rather he has "voted against" a candidate.
I loathe politics. Its bothersome and mostly leads to quarreling, which gets nowhere.
the idea of picking the lesser of two evils is so much fun. Now I understand many people out there really believe in their politics (party affiliation etc) and see it as useful. Me, not so much.
I recently posted about the OWS ordeal and I agree something needs to change. Here is the problem, things dont really change. why? Because people are still people. We are selfish, greedy, jealous and worse. Few people can endure the pressure AND power of leading.
The honest ones give up and the "great ones" are corrupted. The system wears on you. And we are all still human.
Would it be awesome to clean house and get rid of all the politicians in Washington? maybe. Are there people who can and would do a better job? probably? Would I vote for any of them? Possibly.
After my rousing encouragements, i dont understand why more decent people do not run for office... other than the money to afford it and the popularity to get them to the end.
I dont know what to do. i mean other than pray.
America was designed to keep any individual or group from holding all the power... now they just play games with the powers they hold and harm everyone else. Most politicians in Washington have more than me... but they need me. Well they only need me if there is someone willing to run against them....
meh... politics.
