Reading my favorite blog (last time I want to use that word as a noun, a verb, or anything else) Fit To Print I am reminded of the upcoming US midterm elections.
What little I have seen makes me wonder.
When did we stop talking about relevant issues? Why do we fixate on ridiculous irrelevant personal behaviors? Criminal, lecherous and unethical behavior is one thing, to be exposed, but one’s taste in entertainment? Cheess. Really.
Why don’t we start talking about survival? Why don’t we introduce ourselves to the truth? Why don’t we do unto others as we would have them do unto us? Why don’t we start reading and stop watching like brain dead zombies out of Dawn of the Dead 41? Why do humans have such a penchant for the miscreant behaviors of pedestal posted celebrity politicians to be knocked off like ten pins?
Focusing the conversation onto the truly relevant issues is something which will not likely occur in our existence. Humans will pander to the base lusts of the formidable power of greed and then once the earth is spent, cease to exist.
Good riddance.
The earth however, has until the sun goes red giant.
