Peg in the Machine

Promises that seem too good to be true, usually are.

If you look hard enough you’ll find the truth — but you probably won’t like what you see.

Beware of politicians promising the world, good health, wealth and harmony without anything changing in your lives (all good no bad) — for it’s like the cake (it’s a lie).

It doesn’t matter who you vote for — as long as you vote.

While grades are, sadly, important to determine if someone will have money to survive; in the end experience and real-world knowledge will go much further.

Everyone can save a few bucks each month, maybe more, and even do a bit towards helping the environment:  turn off lights when you’re not in the room.

Sure, you can turn off TVs, radios, go with compact florescent lights, etc. — but just turning off lights is easy and won’t cost you anything.

Reality TV isn’t reality.  Real people’s lives are more exciting than even the best news story.

Now this is perhaps one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.  Actually with all the crap I’ve been seeing around here lately I haven’t been in the frame of mind to be even slightly objective these past weeks.  However this thing is absolutely wrong.  Personally I think neither should be done, no matter what they think (there’s just a line you shouldn’t cross….).  And my problem is, well, confusing in a sense – but it’s along the lines of making jokes about the Klan – and implying someone’s in it to sway votes…. Anyway…

Obama supporter puts up a “Halloween” display with McCain in a KKK hood chasing Obama — granted the person doing so said he thought it’d be offensive to everyone — but it’s made the news in a somewhat “positive” swing from what all I’ve read.

But then there’s another man who took that idea and did a variant of it — an Obama sign upside down on a “ghost” that’s hanging from a tree.  Media’s interpretation of it?  People are afraid, find it racist, evil, wrong and think it shouldn’t be allowed (some think he might try to assassinate him because of it) and it has a “negative” swing (despite him apparently saying he did it in response to the McCain KKK thing).

Now while I find them both wrong — it just goes to show the way some people seem to be going this election — either you’re for Obama, or you’re racist.

When things in a country look bleak — remember that the people outnumber the politicians.  Everyone chiming in to help that can (even with money or time) can completely overhaul a country in weeks.

For many decisions in life, it doesn’t really matter one way or another what you decide.  Sometimes it applies only to you, sometimes to hundreds or millions.

With all of the stressors in life these days, what to eat, what clothing to wear, or just whether or not to wear a tie doesn’t really matter.
