Sorry to everybody, hopefully you all have bags an bags of unlimited patience! Two weeks ago, I had all hopes of typing the newest blog, but came down with a major case of the flu! And not just me, but my entire family. It has been a miserable number of weeks. On top of that all, I've been working 12-16 hour days at work. Rough times. I got over the bad part of the flu pretty quickly, but I have a bad, deep cough that can last up to 6 weeks. Oh well, it can always be worse... I mean, at least I'm not on fire. Okay, anyway... whlie I've been under my rock according to some :), I have thought of a few things to talk about.
First of all, we once again set the clocks forward. And why do we torture ourselves twice a year? Originally, it was created to save money. But with everyone having heating and ac units, not to mention lights, it is an outdated, antiquated idea that causes more trouble than its worth. Here's an interesting article that kind of unofficially highlights my point.
http://www.geocities.com/midimagic@sbcglobal.net/daystupid.htm
Okay, I know I'm usually more winded at my points, but I really have little energy, so I'll just go on to my second point for now, which is...
Does anyone care about the upcoming election anymore? We have been, as a country, more interested and involved in the 2008 presidential election coverage than maybe ever before. But what has it become? The republicans have all but picked John McCain, who is determined to continue to put us in the downward spiral that we've been going into. Sure, Ron Paul is still campaigning, but for what use is he at this point? Without making a third party run, he is doing nothing good. People gave him so much money, but what is he doing with it? His campaigning was minimal and now he has scaled backed to almost nothing, but what has happened to our money? We paid money to him and he promised to spread the message of the people as long as the money came in. But unless he makes a third party run very soon, I will be done with him completely.
The democrats have two choices left. Hillary, who for some reason says she has over 30 years of making change. That would be the same as my wife stating that she defended the country on a submarine. No, she supported me, as Hillary did to her husband, but that is the extent of it. She didn't join the ranks of policy makers until she became a New York senator. And isnt it funny how she is only taking credit for the positives that happened during Bill's presidency, but doesn't own up to any of the negative. She is such an old school politician, that it's disgusting to even watch her. And Obama... well, I'm not sure what his deal is. I would like to say that it's the fact that he doesn't have enough experience, but I have said time and time again that experience only corrupts. Ron Paul aside, of course. Some articles I've read have even predicted him to be the antichrist (I personally save that distinguished title for whoever sired Michelle Malkin). My biggest issue with Obama really is that he wants to make healthcare run by the government. That means more taxes out of my pocket. And as anything else run by the government, it will be a huge moneypit of a project. It seems like all three of the candidates that have a chance will take more money and more freedoms from us.
Personally, I will be voting third party or just writing in Ron Paul's name. Some people have tried to tell me that that would be throwing my vote away. No it's not. It's me stating my voice. It's me being heard. If I stay home and not vote at all, then I'm saying I don't care who is in charge of me. And if I vote for the lesser of two evils, then, as I've stated before, it's still voting for evil. No, my voice will be heard. It doesn't have to be in the majority. I am not so shallow that I need to vote for who I'm told will win just so I feel good. Nor am I so stupid that a news channel has to tell me who to vote for.
Sorry, not sure if this makes sense at all or if it even is complete. I'll read it over again in a bit and see if I need to edit it anymore. But, please, let me know what you think and feel free to argue like intelligent beings in the response page. Until next time, take care all.

I'm sorry to hear that you and your family have been ill with the flu. Trying to get better while working long hours sucks. Hopefully your residuals from the flu leave you soon.
I am glad you posted this article about daylight savings time. I agree, it's really no longer necessary. The way they mapped out Indiana's insane time keeping methods, very acurately reproduced the feeling of actually being there. Have you ever tried to navigate in Indianappolis? It's an experience not to be missed!
I care about the election. But, I've become, for lack of a better word, overwhelmed. I normally would agree with writting in, or voting for a 3rd party candidate (with the options remaining), but I'm really fearful of the outcome of this election. My ego likes nothing more then to tell everyone want I think. especially if I've decided there's a point to be made. But, I'm having trouble giving up the idea of picking the demond I feel least evil and voting for them. I guess I have a few months to finish the argument between my id and my ego.
I have actually thought about what was happening with all that money raised by Ron Paul. You would expect to see more of him, having not withdrawn.
thanks for coming back out from under your rock.

All right. The election is a farce. As much as I hate to say that, it is what I truly believe anymore. The lesser of two evils is a rediculous choice. How about someone who will fight for what is right and for your freedoms. That is what the president is supposed to do. He, like so many others, is an elected official. Put into office by the people. We the people decide who goes into office, not the office telling us to choose between the top two people that they want.
Out of the three, I hope Obama wins. I will not vote for him, as I will also vote independent, but I would take him over the other two.
McCain is a Bushie. That means, for those who don't know, is that he is one of Bush's biggest supporters in Congress. He believes in the war and wants to prolong it as long as "necesary". He also wants to further the reaches of the patriot act.
Clinton is just another frog in the pond. She talks about change yet will continue business as usual if she wins. Nothing will really change. Money talks with those people.
Obama is somewhat shady to me. He is a junior Senator, yet has the money and influence to run a sucessfull campaign. To me personally, this screams of some kind of secret connections. I am not talking about conspiracy type things here, just people pushing with money and power in order to get him in office. But that is just a feeling I have, I cannot prove it like I can with the other two, so...there it is.
Hopefully, people will wake up and see what these people are really about.
Nice to hear a new post here. Keep it up.
Dan
Sorry about the spelling.
I have a question. How does everyone feel about the current environmental policies in this country? They are worthless, in my opinion. I recently finished a book outlining the BS put in place by bush in his first term alone. When the auto industry surpasses many of the governments requirements, you have to wonder just how low the requirements are. Not to mention selling off our National forrests/parks to lumber companies. Environmental policy is something, I personally, would like to remain in federal hands. well, at least in responsible federal hands, if that exhists anymore. I'm not a super enviro fanatic, but, I grasp the fact that lots of the things people like to think are not going to spiral down to effect there daily life, will.
What are the thoughts on this?
sarah
Thanks for the topic, Sarah... Let me think about it a bit and try to respond this weekend. What book was it because I am quite ignorant right now on the topic.

The book is "Bush Vs. The environment" by Robert S. Devine
