Frustrated

It's very hard for me when people use emotional arguments with no basis in fact to shape their political decisions. Often these people are only parroting something they've heard from others (community leaders, clergy, "smart" friends), but continue to spout it without really thinking the whole situation through.

Labels can be good and bad. When a liberal is saddled with that label, and doesn't make it into office, I'm thrilled. When a corrupt, unctuous, king of his own little fifedom, brands his opponents as anti-semitic to keep his iron grip on the bloc vote, it makes me nauseous. To be fair, he never does the branding. His willing minions do the work for him. They're getting just what they want from him, and they look the other way, when it doesn't fill their needs, and in the process the town is being destroyed. Building, by multiple building.

I wonder, when you need to get something done, if his confidential assistant hands you a paper with a price list. Does ignoring traffic problems and inadequate parking cost more, or less then giving permission to build directly up to the street line destroying every living plant in 100 foot radius? Does it cost more to get zoning changed for illegal schools, or illegal residences?

Not everything wrapped in religion is kosher, and that's the saddest part of all. We can keep shaming G-d, as long as our skirts are at LEAST 4 inches below the knee, because all our problems stem from the latter, and not a SINGLE one comes from the former.

Maybe the title of this post is wrong. Maybe it should say :

ANGRY.
