Politicians and pundits cannot change the direction America has taken; only the people can do so; the last election has proven this to be true. Washington is still business as usual with not one senator or representative willing to risk his chance of reelection for the betterment of the whole nation. If you voted for one or more of these people, you have some choices: turn them out next election and keep turning them out until they "get it"; cherish and love them; bitch and whine to one another until you or the country dies which seems to be the preferred modus operandi for most voters. Get off your asses and stop telling each other what the pundits are saying and make it clear to the politicians that YOU are saying enough is enough. Wake up, America!
I was trying to put the above on Facebook, but it is too many letters and words. People are always quoting or linking to some paid pundit somewhere who does their thinking for them. It is ok to read other opinions, but you better analyze the "what" and "why" of each of them. Everyone that writes about politics or any other subject has an agenda, and that includes yours truly. Mine is a noble cause as is always the case with anyone when they aren't paid for their special insights.

After many months of being a member, I have only five friends on Facebook and two of them are family. I just cannot get into that kind of social networking. I have been on Twitter for a year and have but one friend there. I think I am anti-social. It is becoming more difficult to convince people that I know everything and that they know very little. Sigh ... and I used to be King of the Bullshitters.
Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
~ The Book of Daniel, verse 27, Hebrew Bible.

Washington does not know we exist.
You have to be active on Facebook and things will happen. I'll make you a friend and you will have six.
Thanks, Mark. :-)
