I’ve been experimenting here with trying to express myself in different ways. But with politics, it’s difficult to ever feel like you have a grip on what’s going on. I will never have the time to really understand what’s going on in, well, almost any political situation. We don’t know what’s really going on with the Congressman or Senators, and the fact that they are so often disingenuous makes it impossible to find out.
Political blogging currently is about taking sides and tattling on people. To me, that’s boring. I want to know the truth, but in the world of politics, that’s literally not going to be possible.
But from now on, my motto is stay calm and stay logical. Nobody else who talks about politics does this, but I’m going to try. But what do you talk about when everyone’s lying? If you talk about what they want to talk about, you’re just falling into their trap. If you talk about corruption that’s all you’ll talk about and nothing will happen.
Right now, I don’t know what to talk about where I can actually talk about truth and make a difference. However, it seems like figuring that out is what we all need to do. So we’ll see, but I think I will start exploring these issues more.
