gwax's rumblings

It’s finally hap­pened, I’m start­ing to give a damn about pol­i­tics (guess it had to hap­pen some­time). You might notice that I’ve added a few more blogs to my links on the left (that’s where I turn for my body politic and I will prob­a­bly add more as I start read­ing them). I try to get a decent spat­ter­ing of dif­fer­ent polit­i­cal points of view so as to be able to make my own opinions.

In case any­one cares, here’s my take on var­i­ous polit­i­cal issues right now: We’re wast­ing tons of money on a war that we shouldn’t be fight­ing. We’re bul­ly­ing the rest of the world. We’re ignor­ing most of the prob­lems that exist in our own coun­try. We’re return­ing cap­i­tal­ism to the hell that it was more than a cen­tury ago. Our edu­ca­tion sys­tem is going down the tubes. The aver­age American cares more about pop cul­ture than his or her own well being. (Needless to say, these are all bad things in my opinion).

That should serve as decent ref­er­ence for any­one that wants to know my views. Oh, and I don’t like to asso­ciate myself with any party because I believe that giv­ing a name to my belief sys­tem gives the name power at the expense of my actual beliefs (why can’t democ­rats and repub­li­cans do what they believe in and not sim­ply fol­low the party line?).
