Movie's coming on.
Well Well...someone who rants almost as well as me. Insert wink here.
All I have learned these past five years is that there are some people who just don't get it. There are many that do.
We've reached a point in this country where everything has to be videotaped, DNA'd, Audiorecorded, witnessed, signed and notorized before the obvious is accepted as truth.
This isn't how juries do business and everyday across this land juries, that's you and me and everyone who carries this countrie on his or her back, listen to the evidence, weigh all the facts then come back with a verdict. The perp, you understand, NEVER confesses. And yet we must decide guilt or innocence and act accordingly.
I must add that our own children challenge us everyday with their little lies and deceptions and yet, hey, we figure it out and we churn out the next generation and crop of soldiers I might state.
Yet we hear Saddam had no WMD's, he had nothing to do with Iraq, 911 was all Bush's fault, Monica was but a sexual dailliance, it goes on and on.
It's the middle class that runs this country, even the planet for God's sake. But the middle class has no cohesiveness, no access to ABC and CNN, we don't go out on the streets and riot as we all have jobs.
It takes a long time to move this country's middle class and we are now at a time when the middle class is waking up, yawning, and paying attention. The 911 attacks began it but to my surprise as well as yours, there are still people who want power and the citizens be damned, there are dictators and despots who like their oil wealth and there's Kofi Annan with a fleet of Mercedes Benz. It's all a joke almost and it gets old.
All that being said, I like Bush's speech tonight. He did a great job pronunciating (if that's a word) the words and the context of what he said was serious and true. We need leaders to lead and even they are slow to do so. We do have free elections in this country and the ersatz leaders are zero good unless they get elected.
Soooooo....it's all about time. Time for the American citizenry to vote and elections are years apart. Those that had power don't want to let go so average Americans are bombarded with lies. We have to carry this country on our backs out here in la-la land and that means soccer practice and jobs and living a life.
Okay, the above was not a rant but a pretty good attempt to get a mental handle on things, I say so modestly.
I love to rant. But I gotta be in a mood. Kinda like sex.
