I've spent the summer getting the house ready to sell and taking a class. I kept finishing and crashing.
Now the house is on the market; sign up Monday, online Tuesday. 3 showings, tomorrow getting a repeat showing. Say a prayer.
Got to work on lesson plans, but am ready to catch up on news.
... on the news, on obama, on the country getting flushed down the toilet by politicians that don't listen to the people and pass bills without reading them... just everything. Everything to do with our government. I've hit overload and I'm sick of it. I've quit watching the news all together. Show me a good movie.
Anybody else feel like they're getting to that point?
Moderation is the key to everything. One of the best illustrations of this is the Norman Rockwell painting called Going and Coming. Note the ernestness and excitement on the family's face in the top section going on holiday and then the beat dead look in the bottom section coming home. Now look at grandma in the back seat in both pictures. Same stoic look. Grandma knew from experience how to pace her self and live in moderation.
Leave the wailing and gnashing of teeth to the talk radio crowd who are making millions off of the entertainment value. America was here yesterday, it will be here tomorrow. All of the fear and flapping of arms isn't going to change it.

Good thing you belong to a political message board then cowboy!
Well it's more than just that isn't it EZ? There's lots of people here that you never see in the political sections.

And those are the people who are having the same feelings that you are having...but that just want to have some fun and some discussion with others.
The problem I find is that the nutjobs who think they are the final word on everything are just being annoying to be annoying. Most are not contributing much more than flaming and trash. Making general fools of themselves and thinking they are actually, somehow, better than everyone else when most are just too noobish to be worth the time. They are getting louder now more than ever before, like the flood gates to the internet was opened in the insane asylums.

That and the insult mob, who roam the board just looking for someone to disagree with so they can demolish any debate with their garbage.
I think that may have been what you were eluding to KK.

It's called outrage fatique, PR.
I've think I've had it for decades. And, FWIW, it isn't getting any better (for me, I mean) with Obama in office, either.
Things keep getting more outrageous, more Orwellian, and still the sheeple think politics is a game with two sides, one good and one bad, each vying for power by winning their vote.
Can people really be that naive? Do they really think this game is white hats and black ones?
If you read this board, they surely do.

They're young editec... they don't have a lot to draw upon when it comes to retrospect. I know exactly what you're saying.

Yup, I think that explains it.
Odd, isn't it?
As we get older more typically we'd be expected to be more sanguine about the world. Clearly that isn't happening this generation.
The angriest people on this board are almost all also the oldest political players.
But for many of us, many of us even if we have diametrically different views as you and I do, we BOTH find ourselves wondering if these nitwits will ever wake up from their 8th grade civics delusional points of view.
Our nation is going to shit, PR, both parties are part of that process, and you and I both see that even if we cannot agrree about much else..
In all likelihood we would probably point out many of the same people turning it into a gigantic turd-pile, too.
Move to the country, dude. Take your brothers and sisters and create your own community if they let you.
I say if they let you because I know, speaking as a hippi, that those whose views are outside the norm often cannot create a life no matter how hard they try to isolate themselves from society at large.

What I say IS the final word

Been there for quite sometime now. Stopped watching News and other TV, 3 or 4 months ago. It is all they same old garbage day in and day out, and the real important stuff, gets ignored for the most part. Feel like I am spinning my tires and it is like watching an old friend die before your very eyes.
I watch a lot of movies now. I listen to a lot of music. I used to be a huge political debater. I cannot do it like I used to, because words seems to be not enough.
A good movie that will make you laugh. I have the perfect one
It is titled "Death at a Funeral". Have you seen it? It is hilarious
