It's Fun to Bitch and Moan

Every now and then I like to read the comments posted on some political site or another. Sometimes I even post a comment myself. It's such a blast to read some of the bull some people write. A lot of these commenters take themselves SOOO seriously! In all honesty, it really is a good thing that we're able to exercise the right to bitch and moan, even if it's only "to the choir".
The more I read of people's dissatisfaction about the state of the nation, the more I realize that there's probably never going to be any change in the status quo. It's just human nature. We get uncomfortable, and if we experience that discomfort for a long enough period of time, our comfort level goes way down. Just a little bit of movement, just enough to make the discomfort go away, and we're happy. That's how it's been for decades. Little by little, our rights have been eroded, our liberties compromised, and soon we find ourselves aching for a little adjustment. Some figure or some action comes along, promising to alleviate our suffering, and-BOOM!, we're just peachy again. Right now I have so little faith in the American people. I seriously doubt that things will ever change, at least in the right direction. Those who do take their liberty seriously are so few in number, and so overwhelmed by the odds, that it seems that they have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding. I hope I'm just being pessimistic, but we'll have to wait and see how things pan out.
