Christmas nearing! Politics boiling.

     Hello!  To anyone reading this, Happy Holidays regardless of what you do or don't celebrate.  I think they're important: it's good to kick off miserably cold weather with some festivities, right?  Yesterday was the winter equinox which, according to scientists, is the very same day we're going to die in 2012.  I don't know how I feel about that, but what happens happens, man.

     This holiday should be interesting.  It's the second time my older sister won't be coming home from New York, and we also have deaths in the family surrounding the event.  I'm not upset about that as death is every bit a part of living as living is.  We should celebrate it!  But it's going to be different.  I haven't started shopping, and I don't really know what to get any of my family – Rachel already has her present (I have mine as well) – and all I really want is one of the exercise half-balls fixed to a rubber base and maybe some tools.  I'm easy this year.  That, and I feel bad because my parents are already spending enough money on me.  My car broke down last week and I just moved into a new apartment so I'm already broke... they helped me out.  Dead battery.  Now I need to get my anti-freeze checked.  I hate cars.

     I'm becoming so upset with everything going on in Congress that I've pretty much resigned to leaving this country.  People say they're leaving all the time, but Rachel and I think we've finally had it with the corruption, the sleazy levels of politics, and the outright denial of the freedom of American lives.  I'm not Republican, I'm not a Democrat.  I'm a free thinker.  I've had it.  People ask me where we'll go where government isn't corrupt.  I have an answer!  We'll go somewhere where the people don't give a flying f*** about their government, like Italy!  Tax evasion in Italy is like a national sport.  And politics is more like a high school club, from what I gather.

     I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen here though: This democracy built on the voice of its people will become so rife with corruption and avarice that the ordinary citizen will have no choice but to let it go, live passively to the whims of the bastards at the top.  I am disgusted.  It's interesting, despite the warnings of "The Forefathers" that we have divided into a bipartisan country.  There is no free thought, it's controlled through two routes (both in political association and money).  If you're not one or the other, you don't get the money.  That's that.
