Am I wrong?


Okay. Sometimes I actually go back a day or two later and read my own writings to see if I am ever disagree with myself on a given subject. You know the step back and give it a day thing. Usually, I still agree with myself on the whole. Big surprise, n'est pas?

The thing I'm wondering now is...Do I think that much differently than everyone else. The things I say in this blog are the same as I say in my everyday life. Yet, it seems no one really agrees with me on the whole. A lot of people agree with me on one subject, but then think I'm absolutely off my pills on any other subject. It's quite odd really.

Here's what gets me: Most people who are willing to engage in political debate seem to want to tow the party line for the Fasc....GOP or the Hippi...Democrats. No one really has their own opinion completely independent of what Limbaugh, Matthews, O'Reilly or whichever "expert" tells them to think. The only person I've seen demonstrate anything close to an independent thought pattern is Bill Maher. Sometimes he says the smartest things I've heard in years. Unfortunately it's usually followed by something so far out in left field (only for the sake of making a guest look intellectually inferior) that it makes me want to chew a brick. Dennis Miller usually made sense to me. But look where that got him.

Then there's the whole sociology of today. People are unbelievable how far they'll carry this "there are no wrong answers, no failing grades, no harshness in the world" crap. YES THERE IS. You can be wrong, and it's mostly okay, because it's how you get to the right answer. Keep doing it though and the herd should give you up. You can indeed fail a test. It's not the school board's fault you can't write your name, you need to study harder. There are a lot of bad people and things in this world, and they will take you as soon as given the chance. Please don't leave me or anyone I care about unprepared to deal with them, the law only works adter a crime. An ounce of prevention folks, that's what I say. That brings me to why no one ever want to take responsibility for anything. Stand up, take the hit and fix the problem. That's what moral and righteous people do. They are fixers. The blamers can all get bent, cause they were there too, they just won't admit it.

Am I some kind of revolutionary to be shunned and burned at the stake of the status quo? It all seems fairly straightforward to me. Where's my voice these days? Maybe I'm too old school. The current state of the world really makes me wonder if everyone else is sane and I'm the crazy one.

Nah.
