I am torn...Being a Christian, I am not supposed to worry as God will take care of me and my loved ones (as well as all believers), but living in todays happenings really makes me wonder.
I truly believe our country is completely messed up. It is nothing like what was intended by the founding fathers (yep...fathers...pretty sexist huh??) Congress was never meant to be a career, but what do we have, career politicians that have completely lost sight of reality. The Court was never meant to make up laws and use foreign laws as references, but they sure due now. The President...Hmmm...What can I say about that? Not sure.
I struggle with mandated term limits because really, voting should be the term limits in my mind. But these congressmen get so entrenched in the system, that it is nearly impossible to get them out. And the money they raise and spend on campaigning is beyond ridiculous. On the other hand, the should never be a senator that is on his 5th, 6th or longer term. It just isn't right. It is career politicians who are not in the real world that mess everything up.
Look at the ethanol mess. They mandated turning our food into fuel. DUMB!!!!!!! Now look what is happening. Food costs are going through the roof because we the tax payers are subsidizing the farms to grow fuel rather than food. And it is not a very good fuel to boot. It takes more energy to make, it produces less energy than gasoline so you get less mileage and burn more. And it is water based so it can't be piped. It has to be transported by truck, thus burning more fuel...AND airplanes can't fly with ethanol because of its water based nature and the risks involved with engines vapor locking. AMAZING
And then there are the "Bush Haters". I actually feel sorry for these people. To hate someone so badly to wish him harm and to constantly lie about him is sad. These people are true hypocrites. The justify the lies that people they like make, but then say that "Bush Lied." I certainly don't agree with everything Bush has done, but I do believe he is a good man and has not blatently lied like these people are saying. Most of the supposed "lies" are the same things many other people said and believed. Did they lie too? I don't think so.
So now that I have rambled on in random directions, I should probably wrap this up and go to bed. The problem is that I have all these thoughts popping up randomly. It's like I can't keep focused on one issue because there are so many that they just bury you.
Hmmm....Back to the Christian in me that is not supposed to worry...Maybe I'll just go back to my programming and try and get my big work project done.
Until the next time I decide to type my random ramblings........
