I know the first rule of writing is write what you know. I agree totally. Having the "know-it-all" gene gives me super human ability to squalk about every topic under the sun. But sometimes you just want to puff and pontificate because you can. You know, blow off steam. Usually around an election year I try to read as much as possible on the candidates that will affect my life for the next couple of years and beyond. I tried this year to wrap my brain around the new crop who are looking to be my governor, congressman and senator. I am a cynic. This is a terrible curse that seems to grow especially this time of year. I hear the candidates talk about how they aren't politicians. They say "I'm one of you." I say, I'll give it to you that your human but beyond that your stepping on rough, unstable ground. The candidates are not the ones who truly frighten me. Its their handlers. The people that surround the candidate. They've got polls, the issues that are bothering "Mom and Pop America". I don't believe they truly care. You can say whatever you want. You can blow smoke out of your ass and mouth and nose and eyes and ears (that's every oriface correct?)and you are still giving me what you think I need to hear.

Slowly but surely the wrangling in of banks, oil companies, health care organization, professional sports organizations is happening. Do they all need to be policed? Yes to a certain extent they do. Can our government truly do service to do this? I don't know because they are also part of the problem still. I'm still confused and I know it will only grow. Where will this lead me? I'm sure the only answer to this is to read all that I can and make sure that the facts are correct and then get a big board with all the concerned candidates and buy all the Post-It notes in the tri-state area and begin the process so I can make an educated guess come November. I'm sure a psychic will be involved somehow as well.
