Do you believe this?

      Based on the response received whenever I decide to offer up my opinion on things that make no sense to me I decided to write them down. Now I don't mean to imply that my observations are so unique and awe-inspiring that people tell me I should write them down and share them for the benefit of all mankind. What I mean is people are getting tired of hearing them and wish I would tell someone else. Take the presidential elections for example....The country is about evenly split on which candidate should run the country and how. I am no political analyst but I don't have to be in order to understand the true nature of things. If I were a political analyst and wanted to get paid for it I would need the support of one or the other major parties to make that happen. This being the case I would first have to decide which party's support I wanted to go after based on my personal political leanings and then write in a manner conducive to gaining that support. This does not extend to party officials since I would need to claim objectivity in order to be an analyst otherwise I would be an activist and you can't be both. I guess what I am getting at is don't trust analysts. When you read them in the news or see them on TV they are getting paid to "analyze" in a manner favorable to whoever is paying them. In other words they are simply another tool in the political tool box that parties use to skew your perception of the facts away from the true nature of the facts. Example if an analyst says that "race was no factor in the decision" Then you can bet your ass that it was....More later after I see something else I think is stupid. This is not gonna be all about politics. I will include all topics as they offend me.
