AN Unnecessary EVIL

I have been told often that mothers-in-law are a necessary evil and perhaps the person who first coined the phrase is right but I would suspect that ALWAYS is not always the case especially among mothers-in-law when the woman you just married will grow up one day and eventually be just like them...  to what might I ask have you got to look forward?

BUT...  in this area of unnecessary evils, I can think of only one that falls perfectly into this category without exception:  POLITICIANS

1. Have you ever met a politician who actually told the TRUTH?
2. Have you ever met a politicians that did not care about RE-ELECTION?
3. Have you ever met a politicians that was not swayed by LOBBYISTS?
4. Have you ever met a politicians that was not just a little bit CORRUPT?
5. Have you ever met a politician who did not think they were above the LAW?
6. Have you ever met a politician who did not talk out of both sides of their MOUTHS?

AND YET...

We the People will continue on despite the best efforts of politicians and their hollow promises as we have always done since 1776.

1. It was not the politicians who developed commerce
2. It was not the politicians that improved our technologies
3. It was not the politicians that fought in our wars
4. It was not the politicians that spent time in foreign prison camps
5. It was not the politicians who mined the coal or picked the crops
6. It was not the politicians who taught our children how to pray

US Presidents coma and US Presidents go, some stay 4 years while other remain 8 and in so doing the US Presidents do WHAT EXACTLY?

1. raise or lower taxes
2. fight foreign wars
3. negotiate trade deals
4. provide more and more services
5. entertain dignitaries
6. attempt to increase employment

BUT WHEN...

a new political party takes over, most everything the previous President is taken away since their idea are no longer believed in and a new approached is attempted so that our citizens may thrive...  but thrive on what and for how long...  4 years only...  maybe 4 more...   or, until a new President is elected and this one starts the process all over again?

ARE WE THIS STUPID...

 WE THE PEOPLE AMERICANS???

Are You A Boiling Frog?

Concept:  The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.

It is this author's belief that this is how both our POLITICAL PARTIES are treating the American Voters...

Each election cycle whether it be 2 or 4 years, we basically vote the same politicians back into office as if we perceive or actually believe that they are doing the job that we want them to do...  even when, we know for a fact that they have not done that which we wanted them to do.

WHY?

Is it easier just to keep putting them back into office?
Perhaps...
But, isn't this political apathy?
We don't want to be bothered by trying to figure out who is telling the truth or who is not and more importantly who has the mental capacity, strength, and determination to influence other politicians to move this country in a direction that benefits ALL ITS CITIZENS and not just the wealthy or the well off...

AMERICANS ARE BOILING FROGS AND DESERVE WHAT WE ARE GETTING...
