No Compromise

I don't know why, but I am constantly amazed at how the political rhetoric gets spun around these days. Someone in one party will talk about how they need to stand up for what they believe in or what they promised or praise someone like minded who is sticking to their plan or idea or "pledge" and not back down. Then in the next discussion turn around and badmouth someone from the other side for not listening or compromising on their stance or position on a specific topic, for sticking to their plan or idea or "pledge". I guess it's only right when it aligns with your own opinion or belief. Frankly, from the outside, it just seems hypocritical and narrow minded. Maybe that's the way politics is supposed to be. If so, with all this no budging going on, it will be a wonder if anything gets done for the "good" of the people or the country.

Anarchy on the Horizon

Oh, it's coming. All those Sci-Fi movies are right. Elites are starting to make their final push to power and control and the rest of us will be left to fight, kill, steal, plunder just to survive. Why now, you ask? People have thought this for centuries. Because the time is right. World economies are faltering, elites are making power grabs, middle class is at the point of joining the lower class.

It's either all that or my birthday is coming up and I'm feeling that much older and depressed.
