The state of political affairs today is our fault
Our fault for electing politicians based on sound bites, party affiliation and issues that take away from others (gay rights, birth control) rather than benefit us all…
Our fault for caring less about the structural issues (campaign finance, tax code) that affect every government decision and more about calling people names…
Our fault for expecting the government to provide a lifestyle for us that is not the role of government to provide and is unsustainable in the long run anyway…
Our fault for passing responsibility on to others instead of looking at ourselves and making the tough decisions to save for education, move for a job, etc…
Our fault for lacking even the most basic understanding of economics, political science, historical events and everything that gives context to decision making…
Our fault for paying more attention to DWTS than START, watching more television than reading books, shopping the mall instead of walking in the park…
Our fault for ravenously consuming the benefits of a developed nation without investing in the education, infrastructure and resources that made it great…
Our fault for believing that there are easy answers to difficult problems, that things would be better with a different president or different senator, that our debt problems can be solved by making politicians pay for their own healthcare or that our jobless rate would go down if we closed the borders to competition…

Who can we trust to sustain legacies of Excellence? We will listen to the arguments of all parties; those that make sense or otherwise. The sovereign voters must be careful and follow a performing leader who knows the way and will not mislead them. The party machinery, the party structure ably led by the State party leader must bear the brunt and ensured a continuum to avert disaster in future. Political Imponderables are all around us. The way of politicking is truly imponderable; Belle-aches of politicians are imponderables; pull me Down syndrome is imponderable; destructive criticism is imponderable. What else can I recount? There are millions of Life’s unthinkable that confront us daily in politics; how do we resolve them?
ReplyDeleteScholars reflect on imponderables with deep thoughts for self actualization and knowledge; yet enough research has not been carried out on politics and politicking. The destructive tendencies of some politicians need to be examined and re-examined. Does this tendency fall under addiction? Or can it be Psycho? Why would a sane man be determined to destroy goodness or a leader just for political reasons or gains? Political Imponderables easily lead to ‘Frustrations’. They are examples of imponderables that occur in politics, the sudden, the unusual, the bizarre, and the surprising. These imponderables affect everything and everybody. Some of the wrongs are: a word spoken by a politician out of order, a thousand and unplanned actions, uncalculated little events that can occur and change the course of events; negative and wicked media reports. Imponderables play an enormous part in politics. An imponderable is a state of affairs that which comes into existence without known cause. Are our politicians ascribing to Isaac Newton’s law of gravity that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this context for a good deed, there is an equal devilish deed by the opposition.
