Just another Rant......Okay well Sorta......
Guess that I have been feeling a little weird lately...That's why some of my posts have been a little off center...Oh well...I just keep reading and reading about all this crap in the news and it's really starting to drive me up the wall...
I remember a time about probably 6 years ago, when I didn't pay that much attention to the news...Oh I got yelled at for it by about everyone...I never watched the news channels much less pick up a newspaper...The biggest person to yell at me was my boss...Oh how she ranted at me for not knowing what was happening outside my door...I was happier not knowing...but I did as I should and started reading...UGH...What I read and saw made me ill....How did this world get this way? I come out of my oh so wonderful bubble and I don't like what I see...But oh well...One does have to deal with this doesn't one???
I also never will understand politics...But I can understand how many many people think we are turning into a socialist state...As near as I can tell...there are those politicians who truly want to do some good (Few and far between) but I see them get stomped on by the lobbyist who have more money to turn the vote to the way they want it...UGH! This has become a goverment for the lobbyist...not for the people...How did we let this happen??? I could be wrong but that's how it looks to me...me and tons of people will want a certain law passed, but then enter the lobbyist who basically bullies (using money as the threat) the congressmen, senators, etc...into voting their way or they will pull their money...it doesn't make sense....it should but it doesn't...
I have no clue...Like I said...I am not politically smart....I truly consider myself rather a simpleton when it comes to the politcal arena...Maybe I shouldn't....I dunno....guess I have to read more...or at least paid more attention in Civics class...
I worry about all this because this is the world that my kids will have when I am gone, and my granddaughter too...I hope they can make some sense of it all...seems to have gone crazy somehow right now....I just hope that it can be turned around....I hope I hope...
Okay...I'm done ranting....
Not much else is going on here, have about 17 more days of work until my jobs offically ends (if it does at that-they have already extended it once) I actually am looking forward to a much needed change of pace...a new career path for me!
Kids are doing okay....Justin is having the time of his life...Kairi....Well what can one grandmother say except that she's just as darling as ever!!!! Still hoping to go up and see her in September...Miss that little girl way to much!
Take care all....Be well and be happy!

I understand politics ... I work within politics everyday. I don't like it and it makes me sick to think about, so I don't. Hummmph!
I must be in the same mood. Life is just bothering me. I think the London bombings have bothered me more than 9/11 ... for some reason.
I can't say that I understand politics as I don't like politicans, but I can wrap my brain around the drivel that they often spew. Granted it makes me mad, but that is moot.
Living in ignorance is not bliss, but I don't think one should allow themselves to get into a funk over what the media has to say either.
If you find that the news is driving yu crazy, take a break from it for a bit. I can go weeks and sometimes months without as much as reading a headline, then I go back to it.
I'm never left in the "dark" as a friend of mine likes to key in on certain headlines, which prompts a phone call to see what I think about whatever the situation may be.
Also keep in mind that the media only tells one side of the story. If you watch CNN, watch Wolf Blitzer as it's good for a laugh.

I really don't have to read/watch the news. My hubby is a news hound, and all the blogs he reads are political, so I get it from him.
And I too am seriously fed up with the world lately. Why is it so hard for people to just get along????????? :(
