Seeing things in a different way

I have been so disappointed in the situation with the elections. We all know what's happening, as it is on every channel, all day and all night. Last night I was sipping wine, speaking with my stunningly handsome husband, and we began trying to think of new and different ways to see this ridiculous situation. First, I must say how embarrassed I am to be living in a country where people cannot even figure out how to push a little stick through a clearly marked hole! Personally, if they can't do that, they shouldn't be voting (of course I could go off on this tangent on how many idiotic and clearly STUPID people there are living in the United States, and more specifically, FLORIDA...don't ask why I live here. Perhaps it's for my own ego, as I am obviously the smartest one living in the state). ANYWAY! Back to trying to look at this situation in a creative manner...
Being a grown up has its advantages, ones that I have only noticed as of late. For example, we have our own radio stations, with dj's that are our age, and have our sense of humor and tastes in music. Movies, T.V. and magazines continue to have more and more young writers contributing. How exciting it is to be a grown up! So when will we get our generation in the White House??? I long for that day. How sad that the baby boomers can't figure out what the fuck is going on. It is up to us, Generation X. Get out, get involved, and do something. It's so obvious to me that the world needs our laid back view of life. We're adults now, it's time we took over a few things. Leave things to our parents and grandparents and they can't even give us decent candidates to vote for, let alone settle on which asshole to elect.
I encourage all of you to educate yourselves on politics, economics and any other current event type interests you may have.
And please, please look into the libertarian party...it seems to me that, as a whole, generation X'ers are more libertarian in their views than we think.
Say what you think, and mean what you say.
Be passionate in everything you do.
Keep an open mind and heart, and always seek out the truth.
