Here it is 1:30 AM Tuesday morning, and for the second night in a row, I can't sleep.
There are just so many things going on in my mind, the stock market crashing, and likely to go down significantly more, the Democrats and Obama are about to squander another opportunity to elect a president, and set this country on a different track, and then of course Edie's upcoming transplant.
It's like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders, and there's nothing I can do about it.
In the midst of all the chaos going on in the US right now, a financial system on the verge of collapse, unemployment in excess of 6%, inflation (despite what government statistics might indicate) running rampant, it seems the American public is inclined to elect a third straight Republican, who wants to continue the economic policies of the past 8 years, and actually believes the US economy is still strong.
Talk about elitism, and being out of touch with middle America.
We're about to elect a man, who believes we should continue spending billions of dollars fighting an unnecessary war, which has already killed over 4,000 brave young Americans, while our real enemies are growing stronger elsewhere in the world, and millions of Americans are ignored and neglected at home.
Here's a man that believes we should give additional tax breaks to big business and the wealthy, to spur job creation, and then balance the budget on the backs of the sick, the poor and the elderly, by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Well John McCain, just what products are all the businesses going to produce, with all the employees they're going to hire, as more Americans lose their homes, watch their savings shrink, and continue to cut back on the purchase of everything?
But what I really don't get is why so many Americans seem more inclined to focus not on what is best for the entire country, or even their own pocketbooks, but rather focus almost exclusively on cultural issues.
Am I the only one who doesn't get it?
