I have seen so many rants online, listened to them on the radio, read the papers.... people, we are all living together. It's done. Let's work with what we have and let's work together. We are all in this together and let's find some common ground.<br /><br />Wow, you did have an experience though, didn't you? LOL.

Screaming "You're a wiener head!" at someone who doesn't believe exactly what you believe isn't going to improve the country or someone's blood pressure. What has happened to open debate among adults who truly want to make the world a better place? (Please don't read that as "making everyone believe as I do.") Some talks must end in 'agreeing to disagree.' But others should lead to meaningful disscussion and (eventually) change. Change for the better, not just swapping one tired old party for another tired old party... Congress should not be allowed to make laws that don't affect them. Men should not be allowed to make laws regarding lady parts (especially when they insist this is what their God wants them to do so). And anytime politicans want this country to go to war - they should have to suit up and lead the battle. c.

Even I was and had really never been before. From reading some of the other Wiccan blogs in the BLog-o-sphere, I can tell you that many Wiccans would not like, agree or appreciate my political views, although just like them, I too have my own reasons. None have anything to do with social issues at this time as I do not feel that is our immediate problem. I see people and friends I work with lose their jobs left and right because of our horrible ecomony and yes many employers are outsourcing to India and China (so did our President BTW) and it is utterly frightening! I see people who "live" in my area literally living on the streets and in their cars! I doubt insurance will help the ones now who have lost their homes. :( I fear the same fate for my family and others as well. I have been chastisized by my own faith because I feel this way. Being called very colorful and insulting names from supposedly "tolerant" folks! BTW, I am not a fan of either party and never have been. I am very sad about this indeed. Have a great weekend, my friend! :)Lady Caer Morgannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413733392117024428.post-56409417750889611582012-11-09T14:29:32.764-05:002012-11-09T14:29:32.764-05:00This happens at the gym on a regular basis.

Doesn't mean I don't have opinion about my country and how we should be responsible for it, just means, fighting is futile. Work is what it takes. If folks would put half as much energy into finding ways to make things happen instead of bitching about how it isn't then we'd be a stronger country and a more cohesive citizery.<br />I'm with Mary though....don't throw the towel in, don't gloat and rub it in, don't just sit and spin......John Kennedy gave us such a wonderful mandate....don't ask what your country will do for you....ask what you can do for your country.<br />Right after an election should be a time of new thought, new energy whether it is a re-elected official or a brand new one. Be supportive, tis the adult behavior we should model for the younger generation.

On the negative side, however, I've noticed several bloggers who I've followed for a few years now so angry that they refuse to blog anymore. Really bewilders me.
