The educational system in this country has long been broken, and it was broken by the people who were going to “Improve” education. The political system is also broken, and again, it was broken by those who ostensibly intended to improve it. The media, whose agenda is the reforming of America in their twisted image, have both promoted and accelerated the process. This has been going on for years.

Where we are now, is where no true sane voice will ever be heard again. First of all, anyone who has their head firmly on their shoulders got it there because they lived, and saw the way things are. As a consequence of this, no sane and reasonable person arrives at that point without some baggage or other. And whatever that baggage is, the media will rip him/her to shreds with it. Nothing will stop this. If there are ten righteous men in America, you can bet that they will not withstand the scrutiny of the media, even if they were stupid enough to run, which for the most part, they will not want to do. In this world, no decent person wants to subject themself to the deep anal probing of the media, and nobody in their right mind will blame them.

So we get- on both sides of the aisle- candidates who the media picks for us. And not one of them will do anything we want them to do. Right now, the candidates are being chosen based on theior ability to be beaten by Hillary. Wingnuthead is out of the picture and will soon enough be asked to step back and let Hillary run, and the Media knows that Hillary can easily defeat Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Paul, Bachman. Cain was about the only real problem child, and though none of the allegations about him have ever become anything but allegations, he’s already gone.

I hear a big wad of people saying “I’ll vote for wingnuthead before I vote for newt/romney/whomever”, There’s another faction that says “We have to vote for the ostensibly right wing guy or we slip further and faster”.

Long ago I came to the incontrovertible conclusion that neither choice is acceptible.

We can fix this, or we can just slide into the pit, folks. How do you want it? with a whimper or with a bang? Think about that while the hoi polloi are distracted by “voting”. How much of your freedom will you have to lose before you realize it’s time?

The deer, that is, in the shed. Hope to be able to put it in the freezer tonight. it’s a lot of hard work, but the ogwife and oglet will help, and hopefully it won’t take very long at all.
