WHAT'S GOING ON?

Recent political events are perplexing. Who do you listen to, who do you believe? The pundits put their spin on every possible event from Michael Jackson's death to Sarah Palins’s resignation . It’s all opinion and nothing more. If we go back and read or listen to previous sound bites we’ll probably find it’s all hog wash. Where is the serious discussion of real problems? How do we put people back to work? How do we get money back into the market? How do we create new innovations and ideas? When do we start making our elected officials accountable? Why do we support dictators who do not believe in democracy and let our officials say nothing? Why don’t we stand up for the Constitution instead of allowing elected officials destroy it? Why don’t we demand elected representatives to read and justify legislative votes? Why do we allow legislation be passed on the whims of a few without little or no debate? Do you believe in superficial deadlines? Our government is acting as this is a game. This is not a game and all issues need to be treated with intelligence and in depth consideration. Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin are diversions, let’s deal with the issues that affect our daily live’s.
