Music's In My Soul

I'm not hugely into politics. What I mean by that is that I have gotten to a point in my life where I realize that as much as we want to believe in a political system that will provide everyone with wonderful lives, it just won't ever happen. I get frustrated with where the American government is today. When I think of the things that are wrong with politics in this world, I yearn for change. I come to a conclusion. Politics just can't do it all.

I find that in general people are unhappy with their lives and feel like they need to blame someone else. I feel like we have reached a point where we don't know how to blame ourselves for mistakes. I mean, why should a woman who is driving her car and accidentally spills McDonald's coffee on herself be able to sue McDonald's? It was not their fault that she spilled on herself.

I feel like people want the government to be the savior/scape goat for all the problems that are things we can fix. It is not the government's responsibility for making sure we have a good life. We make choices that ensure a good life. We are trying to give the government a role it will never be able to fulfill. That will never happen. People are too different. Our needs are filled on an individual level by other people. It is the way we are made.

So, please, stop forcing the government into a position it cannot fill. It will never work.
