Election Day Ranting
Firstly, I value, myself, a political philosophy of Pro-Choice in all matters, Transparency in all cases, and Self-Responsibility at all times over any third-party Accountability. I believe in Efficiency, noting that self-sufficiency is not the same thing.
Mainly, I find exceedingly, a problem raises with the idea that change comes once very four years. I hear "change" and "reform" and I am like what in the hell do you think the other 364 days of this year is for or the 1095 days before the last time the big ball fell in Time Square.
Real change is a consistent activity: it is chatting with your friends and co-workers at lunch or over a cold beer at the end of the day, it is education in the forms of seeking and reading and analyzing facts in an opinionated world, it is wielding tough questions and demanding solid answers.
Change is coming? What? Who? When? Where? Why? How? Dammit to Christ, change is here in the lives and ideas of us all.
This a short rant from election day afternoon. I left it on my best friend's facebook wall. She was kind enough not to delete it.
