I'm getting so depressed reading the news lately. It seems that we, as a nation are more polarized than ever. The president can't even give a little pep talk to the nations' school children without causing a furor. George H W Bush gave one during his presidency, with nary a ripple in the political firmament, but let Obamma try, and the conservatives claim he's trying to push his socialism agenda on innocent children! The mistrust in this country is rampent. The stories going around are so wild and unbelievable as to be laughable, but there are still people quoting rediculous things with apparent belief. Doesn't anyone stop to think about the stories and ideas they are passing on with such outrage and enjoyment? Apperently, there are people who would rather let someone else think for them. It's more fun to repeat outrageous stories and get others as excited as they are.
It's beginning to feel like when people relished passing on all the dirty laundry type of gossip over the back fence or around the water cooler at work. All the political junk going around has the same flavor of the worst sort of hurtful gossip that some people seem to love so much. Isn't it time for America to grow up and take some responsibilty for ourselves and our country?
