you know what?
i like my frivolous and fun posts more than my political posts, too.
i would love to live in a country wherein i wouldn’t feel compelled to write journal entries about politics.
i would love to live in a country wherein the ruling elite were motivated by the desire to pass and promote policy initiatives that were based on reason and altruism and common-sense and utilitarianism.
unfortunately we are currently suffering under a republican administration who are irrational and short-sighted and atavistic.
i promise that if politics in america somehow become less divisive and more commonsensical(i think that’s a word)that i will stop writing journal entries about politics.
i don’t take pleasure in complaining about the republicans and the bush administration.
but as a conscientious human being i can’t sit back and wallow in silence as bush, his cabinet, and the republicans turn this country into an unconstitutional, distorted, sick, twisted, intolerant, closed-minded, fiscally irresponsible, globally naive, short-sighted, polluted, isolationist, provincial mess.
i don’t want to write about politics. but i can’t stick my head in the sand and pretend that things are ok.
things are not ok.
we have the most conservative, most beholden to special interests, most unconstitutional, most short-sighted, most un-american executive branch that this country has ever had to endure.
drastic times do call for drastic measures, and until we as a nation regain our sanity i will feel it incumbent upon me to write journal entries about politics.
in these desperate times i do maintain that political apathy is not an option.
