RAMBLY Political Responses.

Sub-Teach,

On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary.

To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time.

I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses.

No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident until about 2 years after this next election.

The things I don't like about him is that he doesn't seem decisive any more and I'm not really sure what he wants to get done.

Now my traditional party hasn't helped at all. They've been so busy trying to make him fail that they probably have blocked many good things while trying to block bad things(I'm not really for universal health care without strings(aka Tri-Care is kinda universal but you have to be serving)).

I'm kind of using this election as a sheepskin(referring to choice making device of Gideon). I'm watching my party to see if they can get over the "anything the other party isn't" position and if they can show that they are actively working towards a goal that isn't defined by the other party.

I agree that no matter which party is in power the people will be overly critical any time the people are suffering even the most minor of inconveniences.

I think you have hit on the big problem with politics in this country right now. Both parties seems to be letting the other party determine what it is they want to do, as a result no one is really doing anything.

I define myself as independant. I voted for Obama and think he is doing as you said a lack luster job. Currently my biggest concern with our politics is the build up of two massive parties that both want power but don't want to make the changes necessary for our country to succeed in the world market. I fear that the inaction by these two parties will cause a great strain on the people of the united states.

I believe there is one issue that has not been raised ut should. This issue is the lack of term limits on senators and congresssmen. We limit our president to 2 terms however with our current system we are having senators elected for multiple terms that spanns decades. This retention of old senators has created what i refer to as the old guard. They base their descisions and goals not necessarily on facts but old belifes and various old idealolgies. The retention of old hinders progress. While some argue progress for the sake of progress is bad i believe lack of progress is just as equally as bad. IF you look at our country from a political view not in a view of innovation and technology what you will see is a lack of progress. Infact you may see a reversal of progress in some areas such as education.

What i mean is since around the 1960s we have done nothing of political worth that has shown why americais the greatest nation on earth. Yes we are free in our country but we are controlled not by laws but by corporate intrests. Our laws were once created by the people for the people now their created by the corperation for the corperation. We have lost our way on education allowing colleges to become a form of corporations that restrict people from learning because they can not pay. We have endangered our childrens future by under funding and lack of innovation in lower education.

What we need is to begin being politcally inovative we need parties that aren't scared of another party saying their wrong. They need to be strong and brave enough to say enough is enough we have to do something you may not agreee with my methods but something must be done. Then if the voters are educated on the policy and its successful the party will succeed currently we have two goliath parties that need to crumble so that progress can be achieved because currently we are stuck.

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

On being Horde.

Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
