Ladies and Gentlemen, I am tired.
I am most certainly tired and annoyed with the current election cycle, and I cannot fathom a more inane conversation than the one currently taking place on the surface by proponents of either party. The real issues are (as expected) being ignored and the spin, pandering and outright criminal activity going on in the name of democracy is enough to make me physically ill. If you believe in the Constitution of the United States as it currently exists, your individual liberties and the opportunity for everyone to make something of themselves through hard work, clear thought and perseverance that is the promise of America, then there is only one real choice. The other candidate has spoken – directly – against each of those.
Likewise, near constant discussion (again, at the oblique periphery of any substantive facts) of the credit mess specifically and the economy as a whole is mind-numbing. The underlying numbers, the facts of employment and actual economic activity belie the doom and gloom constantly spoken from the television studios to the local coffee shops in this country. The real economy, the one wherein every day the people you see on the street and do business with trade goods and services in exchange for currency, credit or in kind value, is alive and well and will not stop – or even slow down – regardless of the factors reigning in the recent insanity in the housing and credit markets. The only real problem is that the stupid and criminal will probably go unpunished for their part in that mess. You and I will continue to live our lives just fine.
It is supremely annoying that so many people make so much noise about so little when the facts and the reality of their day-to-day lives are right in front of them. I’d like to smack the population of America up-side the head, if I may. I need to focus, but I have been unable to do so. That is entirely my own fault, but before I make the effort necessary to rectify the situation, I would like to share with you my current thinking on several things.
But that will have to be for another installment. It’s time for bed now.
Focus. Truth. Freedom.
