What do you do?
On a day like today, when xanga is going to be shut down for a while. You know that what you write will be read by fewer people than normal so.
Do write an entry anyway, because you really do not care if many read it or not?
Do you hurry up and post something fast, so there will be more time for it to be read?
Or do you just not waste the time that a good entry would take to write, and save it for another day?
Or like me do you write something stupid like this entry?

To Govern Fools
Democratic rule by fools is perfectly normal. In a democracy our rulers are old versions of the popular kids in school. The only difference between them, is that politicians are the very best at popularity contests. But often, no make that usually, they are very weak on substance. They just have an amazing ability to make people like them. Given a choice between being right and being popular, few even think twice. They are winners at the game of being liked. You don't win that game by telling people the cold hard truth.
"I have no ambition to govern men. It is a painful and thankless office." --Thomas Jefferson
It is rather obvious why Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were such great leaders. Nether one of them wanted the job. Sadly these days we pick people who have made being a national leader a life long ambition. What sort of sick mind does it take to want to be the President of the USA, and to have worked to get that job your entire life?

Honduras
Some facts I have gathered with little help from our supposed news media.
Honduras is experiencing a constitutional crisis due to the illegal actions of its president. He tried to illegally extend is presidency past its constitutional limits. The other two branches of Honduras's government stopped this crisis by removing the president. In other words they enforced their own constitution. They followed the law in order to stop a power happy president from holding control illegally.
If this is all so, and this seems to be the way it is.
Why are we not letting a sovereign and peaceful nation enforce it own long standing and very reasonable laws?
Why is this administration supporting a man who illegally tired to hold power?
How is this any of our business?
And why would we be giving support to man who not only tried to illegally hold power, but a man who is also unfriendly to the USA?
We are on the same side as our regional enemies, Castro's Cuba and Chavez's Venezuela in this. We are fighting against a legitimate goverment that is traditionally friendly to us, in support of a man who would turn that nation into another Venezuela. Making himself another Chavez.

About Me
-
Just a girl. I am a contrary one, but beyond that I am not so unusual, if that is unusual at all. I grew up on a farm, only 35 miles outside of Seattle, closer to Tacoma. Tacoma a city I lived in for a while. I am now back at the farm, having fully succeeded in not following any of my parent’s advice. Sadly it was all very good advice I didn’t follow. So here I am, eating crow. Were did that saying “eating crow” come from?

You're a control freak if you find your upset about the views of an obscure state legislator in a district full of mostly tumbleweeds.

Some disturbing observations have been made by me. But they can not be admitted to. Most see it, few say it, we almost all know it.
