I have to vent for a bit:
Speaking of concern, I too am very disappointed in our country. The amount of technological distractions available is showing the cost via our nation's level of ignorant folks. On top of the most common search on g**gle being 'who is running for president?' yesterday, we were in line for 3 hours at the polls waiting to vote. Then while filling my ballot out at the table (there was not room for me and the baby to fit in a booth) I had 4 different women and one guy under the age of 30 ask me who they should vote for or who somebody was AS THEY WERE FILLING OUT THEIR BALLOT. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> They all had cell phones, mentioned texting/facebook while in line earlier and had absolutely no clue what they were doing there. This is a college town and I saw hundreds of young folks that gave me the same impression. Serves to reason this college town/county was one of the few blue counties in the state. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> At least we were able to work on our state level issues successfully, including eliminating the possibility of being fined for not having health insurance, and making the statement that corporations aren't people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
This country will not heal until there is less access to TV, internet, cell phone, video games, etc like it was when this country was strong and independent thinking. No surprise the .gov wants internet in every home. You get what you pay for... and accountability comes to us all sooner or later. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Ok, I feel better now... I think. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> I'm going to bed.
