Pseudo-political
Jul. 7th, 2005 02:51 pmSo, I had a pseudo-political article I was going to write here, but I've been feeling rather listless all day anyways, and just the thought of trying to write anything political made me feel drained.
Long and short of it all: I don't consider myself generally well-informed; most of my friends disagree with me on issues religious, moral, and political; I'm tired of people blaming the government for when random Bad Stuff happens -- if Terrorists are on the Rise because we pushed back the way we did, what's to say they wouldn't be if we hadn't; there are no easy answers -- a higher minimum wage would be better for me working at Subway, and people worse off working where they might, but it would hurt small buisnesses like the one my uncle is trying to get started; and the most disheartening thing is that something which you would expect EVERYONE to be against, the decision that the government can take your private property if they feel they have a better use for it, passed anyways -- and not as a law, mind you, but as a court decision which at least I think was over-stepping their bounds.
But anyways... Work in a few hours. Today isn't looking like a good day at all.
