9-29-05

A couple of weeks ago I asked a question, basically it was an attempt at humor with a bit of cynicism. Truthfully I want to know is their anything out there that is not George Bush's fault?

The amount of hatred, mis truths, hypocrisy, and utter lies (on both sides of the aisle) is enough to make even the most politically hardened news junkie throw up his hands in frustrations. I have watched my party throw away numerous opportunities for real change and I have watched the opposition party offer nothing but hate filled retorich.....If one side whether it be democrat or republican truly believe they are winning then email me and let me know what fairy tale world you live in.

I believe what is happening now and perhaps it has been happening for some time but I was never really old enough or interested enough to truly notice it is the morphing and blending of both party's into one political irrelevant machine. Nothing new there, now I am sure some partly loyalist will argue piss and moan and say how dare you compare us to the opposition. Now given there are some key differences on the platforms and for the most part the continuing arguments and opposition is purely for the sake of arguing.

But what is to become of our current political system will be a continuing wedge of class and economic division. No longer will their be a poor, middle, and upper class. There will be the HAVES and HAVE NOTS.

People now spend over three dollars for a gallon of gas, and Bush tells us not to drive so much, and in most parts of our country public transportation is inadequate at best.

Heating and electricity prices are rising at extrodanary rates and in a Carter like fashion we are told to put on a sweater yet our power grid in this "great nation" is once again inadequate at best.

Our refining capability once again is inadequate at best, having 50% fewer refineries than we had 25 years ago yet over twice the demand.

Consumer confidence has plummeted 15 points in the month of September.

Yet our fearless leaders debate blame for hurricane Katrina, ponder teaching creationism, and throw political dirt at each other all in our name. While they claim to be in touch and in step with there constituents they are so far removed from reality in their sheltered world of Washington DC they have no clue.

If there was any justice a Category 5 hurricane would hit DC and give that town an enema

The downfall of the roman empire was its economy, yet I am afraid Nero once again will fail to realize that "Rome" is burning....
