I saw a poster in a store window the other day that looked similart to this one, and i must have been in a very strange mood because the first thing that came into my head was, what exactly are you united for? My next thought was I haven't seen any unity in this country since I was in grade school, so how can people claim to be united?The way I see it, there is no unity and there hasn't been for a very long time.
I am not at all political, in fact I don't really understand most of what is going on in politics. I listen to some of the candidates that are running for local offices and if I agree with what they are saying I vote for them. If not I move on to the next candidate. Honestly it's all very confusing and I am a busy person and I don't have the time it will take to learn it all over again.
But still I do watch, I watch the stupid mudslinging, the greed, and the lies that are being told. Politicians will lie just to get you to vote them into office, and once they are in, their response to those are reminding them of their promises, is it's just not doable at this time, but I will work on getting what I promised done. BS I say, you never meant to do any of it. You were just saying what you thought I wanted to hear.
My thoughts on it all are, politicians should be housewives, or housemen. They should not be paid outrageous salaries, they should get minimum wage, and have work their butts off like the rest of us.
Ok back to the United We Stand thing, which sort of ties into the political thing, because if our government can't unite themselves how are the rest of us going to unite?
The war in Iraq has created much unrest for many people, and yet people are still sporting the United We Stand posters, bumper stickers, etc all over the place. I just don't understand how we can call ourselves united about anything.
I realize this is just a bunch of garbbled sentenaces, and non of it makes much sense, but I felt the strong need to write about this, so strong a need I created a reminder on my phone that won't shut up until I have completed this. To quote a great friend "I needed my minute, So there it is!"
