In conversation with a person whom I don’t know (never even got his name), the politics of personal responsibility came up. I should note this was a conversation held at our local court house (he and I were both waiting on someone to finish there appearance before the judge). We both had the same starting point, the reason we were waiting on these people was a lack of personal responsibility on there part. I couldn’t help but bring up the current political situation. The reason for our economic down turn was, you guessed it, a lack of personal responsibility. Then our conversation turned to the cap and trade (or as I like to call it, our economic death Nell). The gentle man I was speaking with told me how it was going to increase our utility bill, I told him about the provision that says we must retro fit a home that we are going to sell to bring it up to today’s energy standards.
We both had to agree that this was part of the new political power we granted the leaders in Congress as well as the White House. This is the CHANGE we have to look forward to. The CHANGE that was voted in by the people who were not even responsible enough to do any thing more then listen to the thirty second sound bites. The CHANGE asked for by people who are (in a good percentage) not willing to even be responsible enough to feed there children in the mornings, rather just letting the schools ( who are already spending money feeding kids lunch) take care of there parenting responsibilities. The CHANGE being brought down upon us I fear will be more irresponsibility.
As this gentleman took his leave he made one last comment, we rode out the other CHANGES, well ride this one out to.
I can’t help but think that same animosity is what will make this CHANGE even worse.
