Change

Okay, I am going to do something I rarely do and that is bitch about politics. I find that it is generally good to just STFU about these things, its usually easier. I do talk politics some in face-to-face conversations though from time to time. I was watching a tv program the other night and saw the Obama "Change" poster in the background. I started thinking "HA, yeah right?
Sure, People that lean to the left will say "health-care passed" People to the right will say that our national debt has increased and taxes are rising. But what happened to a "Change" in Washington? "The new Washington"...remember that one?
Things in Washington have not improved, in fact it seems like they are getting worse. I am so sick of all the bi-partisan BS. We are more divided as citizens as well. People are sending death threats to representatives and senators that voted yes to "the Bill". Okay, everyone has the right to disagree but to threaten, not so much. Plus, it doesn't appeal to the cause. People saying they no longer want to be "friends" with people that support "the bill" on social media sites.
No one is going to ever like every aspect of a bill. There are some good points and some bad.
I think it is a shame that as a country we are becoming further divided and acting like a bunch of toddlers. This goes for both sides. My "wish" for Washington is that the different parties could work together instead of further apart. People do hold the power and it may not be a bad idea to elect some moderates from both sides and elect some third party candidates.

Okay, I shall be stepping off the soap box now.
