Politics are idiotic.
No, really. In case you haven’t noticed, the country is in a downward spiral. The only president I can name that I would trust with my life is Washington, and really? Wooden teeth. Come on. It cannot possibly be that no intelligent, moral person ever stood up and said, “Let’s try to be President!” Or maybe they did and the cunning, weasel politicians pushed him down, trampled on his dignity, bludgeoned him soundly about the head with a blunt object, and left him for dead on the House floor.
Every single candidate for the upcoming presidential run has lied at least twice in their campaign this year.
Clinton? Let’s run for cover from the crazed gunman! Oh, wait, you’re the crazy one. My bad.
Obama? “GOD DAMN AMERICA!” After which he proceeded to feed the media utter bull about how he can’t denounce his white grandmother, etc. etc. In case it escaped notice, he’s not bound body and soul and blood to his pastor.
McCain? He abandoned the decent policies that he once upheld, deserting his morals to gain favor for the more hardcore right-wingers. Bah.
Maybe the decent politicians weren’t stampeded. Maybe they got out while there was still time. But then that presents the theory that all power eventually corrupts, which leads to anarchy, which is a long shot worse than democracy and the system of checks and balances that we have today.
I don’t know. All I’m really aware of is that I’m a fifteen year old high school girl who sits in her classes and listens to her teachers go on about the destruction of global warming on today’s environment. I listen to their lectures as they go on and on, citing no one, not even offering counterexamples – the patterns that show that fluctuations in global temperature are normal, the faulty model on which we base our conclusions on environmental statistics today, the thickening of the ice, the drop in temperature, the change in terms from “global warming” to “climate change” – but instead feeding information to children who, for the most part, will not be motivated to go and look up alternative sources on their own. They will accept the drivel they are taught and go on to falsely educate all who are stupid enough to bring up the topic.
It’s enough to make me sick.
We had to do an “Ecology Portfolio” as part of a huge lab grade in Biology this past school year. We had to talk about the effects that CO2 had on our environment. Did anyone ever notice that when we exhale we breathe out CO2? I can’t honestly believe that I’m the only one to think about this, but I never see it brought up or addressed in debates. Not the mention that the flora happens to, oh, I don’t know live off of CO2.
I believe that stupidity and insanity, in the right dosage, are contagious. But don’t worry. The antidote is fairly simple – honesty. Plain, old, honest-to-God truth, with no fancy packaging or ribbons or bells and whistles. It’s not there in global warming or climate change or whatever we’re calling it now. It’s not in government anymore. Dignity, chivalry, and modesty have all practically disappeared. Is the truth supposed to go the same way?
I don’t even know any more. Sometimes, I can’t even bring myself to care.
