The Loudest Mouth Wins?
I used to hate politics...I think I do still hate most politicians, but as a rule, I hated politics. When I was younger I remember getting really pissed off on the way home after seeing "Dances With Wolves". I started spouting off about the injustices that took place and I couldn't believe that happended in this country. I was spouting off so much my mom said "Melissa! It's not like Pete and I did these things! Why are you yelling to us about it?!", or something to that effect. I said I didn't know why, I was just really mad. That was my first lesson in how to be an apathetic American.
When I got older my uncle Chris was going mad after 9/11 and saying what HE would do if it were up to him to punish the people who were responisble. He asked me what I would do. Keep in mind that at that point in my life, I was a pacifist at the time. I told him I was glad it wasn't up to me to decide. I would want to understand first, what brought them to that point, and then I would want to show them each a video tape of all the victims and their families, something that would show them the pain they caused. Later I thought that would only make them feel better about what they had done, so probably not. I decided the best option at that point was to leave the room because I was getting attacked for what I had said, even though he asked me what I had said.
I used to think that people were irrational and hot headed when they began to spout off about politics. I thought they were just as knocked off their rocker as the people they were bitching about. I think perhaps I was wrong.
When I went to college I quit the Environmental Studies program, despite my great love and reverance for our home planet, because I found out that it was too political. It was introduced to us in our first class that if you want to get anything done you need to get to know your politicians. I have since come to my senses.
Some people choose to not get involved in politics because they don't think it'll do any good. Neither choice is what they want even though they're not really sure what that is.
Some people feel corporations have all the power so what's the point anyway.
Why the hell am I bringing this up? If you are a self minded, free thinking individual, you should be asking yourself this at this point. (Go ahead, you can ask.)
It turns out that fate once more has thrown me the political bone....it's giving me one more chance to redeem myself politically. Turns out that I'm in the middle of a political battle right now, and it's gonna get nasty. Turns out, I do like politics. It's beauty is that you can take all those nut cases that spout all the bullshit that they DON'T know what they're talking about, knock their heads together like a frustrated moe to larry and curly and knock them out with your own calm voice.
SIMPLY ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION: ARE YOU GONNA LET THESE LOUD MOUTH NIT WITS DO YOUR THINKING FOR YOU?
I'D BE PISSED! I am pissed. I am frustrated that their are a bunch of loud mouth nit wits spouting some bullshit that might end up in the very end, if they get what they want, with me very possibly (and many others for that matter) losing their jobs because of a personal vendetta of an imbezzlers apprentice. A yes woman right now is trying to get the board of directors removed from my company because they are using the democratic process to make a change.
It is a personal vendetta and she is leveraging her big loud mouth and her pseudo clout at ford to spread her big fat...well, I don't want to get into that.
Point of this whole rant is that I may be writing my very first Letter to the Editor to counter act all the bullshit that's being spread. I'm going to put my neck out on the line. Not that she has a clue as to who I am right now...but I'm kinda hoping she doesn't.
My manager came to me personally and said this is going to get very very ugly before it's done. Looks like I'm going to be on my very first picket line too.
Who knew I was still a virgin after all.
When I get my letter done, I'll let you all know. I have to be off for now. Time to go research the crackpots.
Wish me luck.....here's hopin I don't get trapped!
We are now returning you to your regularly scheduled, white bread, middle of the road, apathetic life. Thank you for flying!
