You know what really grinds my gears... politics.

Has anyone actually thought about why this country is in an economic crisis? Or even if we are in one? Or why are we still at war with a country that had nothing to do with the events of 9/11. Or why the culprits of 9/11 have yet to be captured or paid for what they've done? The answer to those questions is..... politics.

If you don't think that politicians use things like 9/11 and this supposed economic crisis to their advantage then you, my friend, are an idiot. Just watch the presidential debates and you will see that they in fact do. The simple fact of the matter is that these politicians simply talk about the problems and rarely take any NEEDED actions. Examples would be North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc, etc...the list could go on and on.

Politics and politicians have been around as long as there have been basic societies. To think that simply choosing new politicians will bring big change, is to think simple of change. Not to say that I believe that no one should vote, but that the changes have to be bigger than a few people. A few people who may or may not have the same interests as yourself. The changes have to be across the board. In the ways we think, act, do and say.

What pisses me off about politics is that political moves are for singular gains. Not gains for the people, which they should be. The biggest example of this is John McCain choosing Sarah Palin for his Vice President. The question that should be asked is, Would she be a good President? Because should something happen to McCain if he would be president then Palin would be next in line. The answer is... NO! Is the choice of Palin a power politic move to steal the votes of women who were previously siding with Hillary Clinton... YES! At this time in our country, we don't need political moves dictating who our future leaders are. We need the most qualified and best suited for what our needs as a country, NOW, in leadership roles. This is, in no way a ringing endorsement for Barack Obama. Cause to be honest, I don't believe he's qualified for the job either. This election is almost like trying to pick the lesser of two evils.

Have you ever watched Star Wars? I would like to compare this movie with our country. I know what you're thinking... How in the fucking world can I be comparing reality to a movie? On top of that, how can I be comparing it to a movie like Star Wars. The easiest way to put it is that there are people behind the scenes who are controlling everything and everyone. BUT are never seen. (Think about it. Darth Sidious AKA Senator Palpatine was like the ultimate politician.) And everyone is in belief that these people have their best interests in hand. When in fact they don't. BUT all it takes is for a few VERY strong people to revolt. When and if that will ever happen is the question. Watch Zeitgeist the movie. And you'll know what I'm talking about.

On a lighter note, and while we are speaking on politicians. I would like to say that SNL and Tina Fey's portrayal of Sarah Palin is just spot on and down right hilarious. My current fantasy is to be in a Sarah Palin/Tina Fey sammich. Yeah, I said it. hahahahahaha

AND THAT....my friends is what's grinding my gears.
