Today is a lazy day at work, and I'm ok with that. I have heads to count for wedding invites, I've got stuff to send out for OmegaCon to try and get more people to go. I need to email Rho (Fencing Booth Manager/Owner) about saturday, and then I need to go and make a list of everything else that I need to do.
I'm feeling accomplished though and that's good.
I'm also trying to stay away from politics for a bit to give myself a cool down period before the debates start up. The lies coming from the McCain camp have become so commonplace now that I feel as though I've become numb to them. And now add to all of this the huge mess that Wall Street (and the Banking Industry) is in, and I could just do with seeing a nuke wipe them all out. I do have one rant though that I think needs airing...
Why the FUCK are we 'the people' being made to buy up the bad debt that these Banks have so greedily created! I understand that this mess has the possibility to really hurt us if some action isn't taken. But I want to see some serious heads roll if we are to give the financial leaders this bail out. There needs to be an extremely high level investigation to find those responsible for this crisis and they need to be put into Federal "Pound Them In The ASS" Prision for a very long time. The people who deregulated the financial industry, and the bankers and investors who took advantage of the system need to be held accountable for their actions in this utter failure of our economy.
And yet the cynic in mean knows that it will be the people of the middle class and their children who bear the burden of this mess, because most will never know the full reality of what is going on. Life will continue though, and our next president will be left with a mess to cleanup.
Obama, I do hope that you will be our next president, and that you will be the agent of change we so desperately need. I hope that you are able to restore the power of the government back into the hands of the people (or at the very least to take the power away from the lobbyists and corporations).
That isn't even a percent of what I want to say, but its about all I can put down. Sorry for dragging any LJ tone done a bit. I do though feel that this is important stuff and needs to be said... so yeah...
