What to Write About Tonight

I had a thought.

I wanted my blog to be something more about politics, relationships and lack there of. When I get the feeling this way I visit various news sites to see what else is going on in the world. The only stories that catch my eye of course are the ones about politics. Since the election ended I've had my fair fill of the politics. I know when President elect Obama finally takes office Sean Hannity will give me enough to write about.

The story I just posted about combines relations and politics. I was born into the Reagan years. The years were government was bad and needed to be cut down. Reagan believed that private organizations should support charities and people have the ability to help themselves. Instead of private organizations helping people places like NYC became segregated by class. You had the rich elite living very well on the upper east side and a few blocks north in urban cities such as Harlem, rampant unemployment and crack became king.

Even though I was a toddler at that time I'm sure the Hannity's and the O'Reily's of the world felt this is what life should be like. Life was good for them because of hard work and not a system of inherited wealth. Thirty years later we have a major shift in Reagan's view of America.

Now I know this article was meant to be facetious but at the same time you have to look at the message behind the words. Reagan's America worked for some and forgive me for saying this but sometimes I think Obama's America will only work for some. The older I get the more I feel I am becoming more of a moderate. My hope for the next four years is the Democratic President, Congress and Senate don't get too overzealous with the help this country needs. I hope they help people help themselves for than anything.

It's funny. When I started writing I wasn't sure if I was going to write about politics or porn.
