in a break from the personal heaviness i've been laying here recently, I had to quote this all too true statement from a CNN article about the new Bush tax plan. Please don't be like this.
"Politics isn't as dense as economics, though, and the Bush people see no political risk in the plan. It's difficult enough for people to contemplate what they're going to watch on television tonight. If the economy is rebounding, the fiscal implications of the deficit in 2013 won't matter a whit in November 2004."
Then again, it's difficult to pay attention to everything all the time, isn't it? it's even more difficult to do something about it. I can write a letter to my congressmen, but I don't have a good feeling that any of them will care. and even though I don't watch tv, i certainly spent a good deal of time last night looking for a new pair of sunglasses seeing that my old pair flew off my face and out the window during my car accident last week. I don't do that every night, and i spend much of my time at home cooking, reading, and writing. Sure, I've been a snob most of my life and tell myself i'm better than everyone else, especially when i walk around my neighborhood and see so many blue glowing lights coming out of windows. But am I? I'm selfish, I don't give enough to worthy groups around town; instead, I horde my money in the bank.
I don't understand americans. Who are those people who wait until weeks before to make up their minds and base it on the last minute standings of the candidates? Maybe I know some of them and they just don't admit to it, those crazy swing voters. Advertising doesn't make much sense to me. People should already know what the candidates represent, but then again, maybe they're too busy watching tv.
I used to think I was stronger than all this, politics and anger, that I was above feeling emotions and beyond the pettiness of politics. I think I was just not paying attention. now i have to learn to not let other, random people bother me. i have enough work to do on my own.
