I've found that I'm less mad when I'm doing something, anything, even work than I am when I'm scanning the internet for anything. Invariably I will run across a headline that pisses me off or a stupid post someplace.
They say ignorance is bliss but ignorance has no ability to effect a change. What do I want changed and what pisses me off. Depends on the day I suppose and what battles I've fought on those given days.
Idea #1 politicians before becoming elected must go thru at least a 6 month(paid out of pocket) world preparation course. A crash course in Theology, Political Science, spend some time in a hospice, a pharmacy and any other place you can think of that will make them stop taking 1 for the team and think for themselves. Cops, fireman and many other professions either do a crash course or need a serious degree. The only thing a politician needs is a smart haircut and an ability to play for a team. 1 came to the house yesterday and I sprayed him with Weed and Feed.
Burns my ass story - Dr gives me a prescription for 15 days for sleep aids. Yet I can only get them filled every 23. Catalyst Health for ya. Pharmacist said they are so bad I should file a complaint. I log-on to the consumer affairs website but there is no funding for that anymore. Who in their right fucking mind thinks health care in this country doesn't need to be fixed. I'll tell you who. Healthy motherfuckers who've never had to deal with it. My point is not only financial. It's also ethical and those of you who've been around to see the unnecessary treatments doled out on the dying will know what I mean. If I'm dying, please just send me home with some painkillers. Don't take the last 6 months of my life away with needless treatments even if those treatments don't cost me a dime. This is the point - they make money for almost everyone involved.
I guess knowing who to help and knowing who is using the system is a big challenge. Seems like they care more about if you water your lawn on Mondays(yes, I saw a ticket being written) than they do if you're getting full time disability without being disabled.
I guess I won't go on anymore...some people call it a kaiser blade but I call it a sling blade... ummmmmmmmmm.
ps. ..the stupid motherfucker who thinks this has become as socialist country. We've become something even worse! When 5 percent of the folks control 95 percent of the dough I think somethings wrong. And the people are mad at the government for not making jobs. How bout those 5 percent that do their business in such a way that it puts farms out of business, ships other business overseas and has bottom line efficiency as their only goal. And these 5 per-centers are so smart they run everything yet lead you and me to believe its either the Republicans or the Democrats causing the problems. While we're out bashing each other over politics they're out doing what they do.

As always, great rant, brother! If we ever get everyone to vote against the money and greed, we might somehow recover what's left of this so-called democracy.
Wow it sounds like we have both fallen into the same rabbit hole. I have yet to hit bottom and there is no end in sight. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Paintin the same ol piece of shit car a new color and calling it different ain't changing nothing. Who in their right mind would wanna run for office these days to make a change? The fine tooth comb that will go from you birth to the present is such that even Jesse Ventura couldn't take it. I couldn't run for office cause I'm an agnostic, beer swiggin, bicycle riding free thinking curb hitter and you might catch me doing a shot of tequila on your camera phone from time to time.
