So Here We Are

So here we are. The Super Bowl's over. The State of the Union Address is old news. The vote in Iraq happened, even though the nay-sayers predicted it would never come to pass.

Here are my thoughts over these issues:

So what? None of these issues are going to change anything. Football will be played next season. Anyone can say anything. Words, especially when coming from politicians, tend to mean nothing. People are still strapping bombs around their chests and blowing up other people. The fact that people voted for something does not guarantee that the elected official will take office.

It is a funny thing, the events that we chose to focus on. The time to play the hardest is the day after the Super Bowl when you are at practice getting ready for the next season so that you can do it all again. Most 2004 Presidential Election voters crawled back under their rocks once they found out that Pres. Bush was elected. The fact of the matter is that we should be paying the most attention after the election to see if the Elected One follows through with all of the promises he made. We should have our eye on what Iraq is becoming, now that their own government is going to be taking control. Once this change over is complete, we should also butt-out of their affairs. Let them run their country as they see fit. We have provided the chance they (supposedly) wanted to live in a representative republic (NOT democracy, hippies).

So here we are. What will we do with it?
