Clearning the mind.

I need to go climbing. My brain is full. I have been reading a book called "Don't think of an Elephant!" by George Lakoff and it has really helped me connect the dots. I have often wondered how so many people can support the corruption of the Republican party? I mean when a Democrat is corrupt few rally around that party representitive, but with Republicans they can have money laundering, election fraud, mob relations, and these people will have the support of their party to the bitter end.

Yeah, my brain is full. The deciet of the GOP party is almost too overwhelming. That must be why so many people continue to support them. If they actually thought about the party they follow they'd be shamed, embarrassed. I mean think about this -- the GOP says we need "tax relief" so they cut taxes, and they spend billions each week causing the government to be so straped that they have to cut social programs. Now some would say that is great, we should support the causes we believe in, but the reality is that these people secretly don't want to be responible for anyone but themselves. They don't want to be kind to their neighbors. Pretty soon, medicare will be gone, Social Security gone, how about unemployment?

I often wonder if my mom had kicked me out at 18 where would I be? If not for my mom's "social" program I'd probably gone from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. But she gave me room and board for three years of junior college, and then she paid my rent for five more years as I went to university. Yeah, I had to work for it, but we are talking eight years my family supported me to give me a chance at a better life. And without my mom's taxes paid to the government, I probably wouldn't have even gotten to the university.

Yeah -- clearly I need to go climbing.
