I am really bummed about economics and politics these days. I feel like we are all being played by some cruel ringmaster. Capitalism seems designed to only make the rich richer, and let the middle class think that they are free to become rich, yet the laws seem designed to prevent that from happening. Usery and bankruptcy laws are a joke, and God forbid that you want to study hard, so you can work hard. Student loans will kill ya with excessive debt Make mortgage payments on time and be responsible? Forget about it, the foolish get bailed out by the rest of us, which begs the question, Who is the fool?
Dems and Republicans are no different; they are content to watch us fight back and forth about abortion, like who appoints Supreme court justices will make a difference, but the constitution already gives Congress the power to take the issue out of the Supreme courts hands where it does not belong. Congress chooses not to use that power; they would rather see us fight about it for 35yrs instead. They even drag our Church into the fight, pitting brother and sister against eachother.
I am tired of it. I am not some liberal who wants to change everything. I am tired of the pointless fights, and would like to get back to the business of what christianity and the Catholic church is all about. There has to be more of a reason to live than mortgage payments and abortion.
Just my ranting
oh, and I did eat the last of my Vegemite that I had for a while. I am the only person in my family that eats the stuff. They say that Americans don't really like it, but I think it is great for breakfast. Vegemite on an English muffin with butter, toasted. Yummy. gotta have breakfast tea with that also.
But this being America, I can't just go down to the market to buy some more. For some reason they don't sell it here. All they got is this substandard goopy stuff they call Marmite I gues that'll do till I get some more Vegemite, but it is not as good
