This may be the last post
I've been meaning to say this for a long time but I always think that maybe I will get the fire in me again. Don't think that is going to happen, but there is always a chance, so thats why I used the word 'may' in the subject line.
I can't get excited in the least about the coming election. All the candidates on both sides are a complete bunch of idiots with nothing more than fame and glory on their minds. If a terrorist said boo to any one of them they would die of a heart attack.
I haven't read the paper in over a year. Thats a lie....I open them and grab the sports section and when I'm through reading about how many of our local sports stars were arrested the night before then that section and the rest of the paper go in the trash. No radio and no TV news except that every morning when I get up I turn on FOX News with the sound off just to see if the ragheads have used the nukes yet and which cities are gone. If I don't see them showing New York or D.C. as a smoldering hole in the ground then my news gathering for the day is done except for a scan of the Drudge headlines for any flicker of sanity like the last two posts I found there today on Global Warming.
When you reach a certain age you realize that there is nothing new. It all cycles around and around. The first things I have vivid memories of as a child is being told that the world was going to end any day and I should get ready. We were just little kids who wanted to play but we had to watch the nightly news on our new 9 inch black and white TV's where we were told that the Russians were going to turn our entire country into a nuclear wasteland any day and if we were poor and didn't have a bomb shelter then we would surely die. If that didn't happen than the next ice age was on the way and we poor folk in North Dakota would be the first in this country to see the 20 mile high glaciers coming. Ok...they were only going to be 10 miles high but you get the picture.
I'm tired of being told 24 hours a day that I will probably die tomorrow from being blown to bits by someone who doesn't like me because my religious beliefs are not the same as theirs or by some natural disaster caused by man because we didn't love mother earth enough.
At this age I have done my part with my 20 years of military service and my forced recycling. I have formed my little warm fussy cocoon and will just stay here till the end comes.
This site (I still hate the word Blog) was a lot of fun during the last election because I thought there was hope for some of Reagan's ideals to still be working and moving us in the right direction. Those hopes are all long gone. I see nothing but doom and gloom in the future of this country. See what has happened? It took them 60+ years but they have turned me into one of them.
