Ok Karen,
You know that someone called me a political radical once, right? HA! Well I hate politics, I think it makes many of us think in extremes. There is something that my mom used to say about politics and that was "never let the pendulum swing too far in one direction" .
Now for my personal opinion, I think that everyone's opinion should be valued, and that many people's opinions have been silenced over the last eight years. I won't even talk about the 'do not fly' list.
Some of our most educated people in the country are not valued, I am talking about scientists, we have enough salesmen, we have enough service providers, we have enough businessmen, we have enough techs, and enough politicians.
We need scientists and small farmers.
We need them and we need to respect them, they can get us out of a melting planet, change our country over to green energy, and make us more solid in our economy by not depending on other countries for our needs.
We are American, our forefathers were independent, we can provide for all our needs inside this country, I want that back! I want good cotton underwear again, I want wool blankets, I want real 'homemade by loving hands' food.
Can we even eat Cadbury chocolate without being poisoned because of the milk products from china? Get our good food back, I want Hershey to go back to it's original recipe. Get our dairy farms back, get our ranches out of foreign hands, and stop selling ourselves to the highest bidder! And let's stop polluting our water sources so I can eat fish and shellfish from OUR shores! There are plenty of ways our government can invest in clean energy, but they want to make a profit for their friends and so are not moving forward.
I don't like globalization, it hasn't helped our country one bit from where I sit.
See, that's my political radical side....ha!
