I know. Perhaps I should quit watching all the media, because I do believe that the more they report and incite strong emotions, the more they receive viewers. But I've never been into gossip and watching "train accidents", so to speak. I do enjoy watching news from the perspective of information, learning, and receiving validation for my thoughts. I know they are concerned about what is happening in the world, but some things are so slanted. It is horrendous sometimes. And the people are not the smartest people in the schoolhouse, let me tell you. I am not the smartest person out there, but when I don't know something, I keep my mouth shut and listen. Not true for some people, however. Some of the women, such as Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman, need to keep their mouths shut more often. It is embarrassing. It's also true that there are men in that same category.
But we did survive the G.W.Bush era - I don't know how - but there was a lot of damage from that, including Iraq, Afghanistan, the huge foreclosure market, the fall of Wall Street, unemployment, the deficit - so maybe we didn't survive G.W. afterall.
I do love the way they blame Obama for the issues created during Bush's 8 years.
But words are words and they can create a lot of damage and brain-washing. I guess that's why I'm writing about my frustrations. I feel like I can do a little. I am currently working 2 jobs, so this may get neglected until the insanity out there is more than I can understand. You know, I am one of those wealthy union employees having the taxpayers and the government paying for all my benefits. NOT! Please don't believe that stuff.
