Relaspe

Relapse today. I drank a couple glasses of Pepsi earlier. Not the best thing for me. Whatever... I'm still going to stick with it though.

School was basically normal. My Music class may be the most boring class ever invented! Seriously.

Now, for a rant I guess...

I spend a lot of time on a message board, and I talk a lot of politics on there, among other things. And some people just blow my mind. Some people are just hoping for Obama to fail. It is sad. I wouldn't say it just a select few on these forums. Rush Limbaugh came flat out and said it, "I hope Obama fails". How can someone wish for the demise of our own President. At least give him a chance.

Staying with politics, I find impossible to argue with some of the Conservatives around. Especially when we start talking about social programs, etc. They have this Ronald Reagan mindset of just eliminating social programs like welfare, medicaid, etc. They think basically everyone that is in the system is abusing it. They look down on them and fail to recognize it. I understand some people abuse the system. Welfare is in place to help children. Some parts of it may be broken, but to drop it completely is ludicrous.

"Why should I have to work to give to people who don't deserve it". "They don't work, screw them!". Well, I guess we can just give all of your money to banking institutions and whoever else is asking for bailout money. Stop worrying about people who "abuse the system. Worry about the people above you, not below you.

Others on the boards were talking about former President Eisenhower and how good of a President he was. I am going to look into him more. However, the Republicans fail to acknowledge him as a prominent President. Instead, they praise Reagan and Bush.

I could go on forever on this and maybe I will get back to another time. But for now, I'm out!
