And now for more of “The Best of…”. In this post I was a little upset. This was a post from September 1, 2004. The elections were several months away. My buttons were pushed. More like hammered, but that’s beside the point. Read on:
I’ve decided to move to Timbuktu.
You heard me.
I’m tired of John Kerry and I’m tired of George Bush. I’m tired of Ralph Nadar. I’m tired of John Edwards. I’m tired of Dick Cheney. I’m tired of the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth. I’m tired of people acting like little children because they want to have their twisted and unproven point of view heard and will go to any length to do so.
I’m tired of protesters. I’m tired of them posting names and addresses of the delegates homes. I’m tired of them assaulting a plainclothes police officer. I’m tired of waiting for the anarchists to actually become what they are: little whining terrorists who have no cause and no direction except against everything this country stands for.
I’m tired of reading the rhetoric, I’m tired of the propaganda. I’m tired of the infighting. I’m tired of the hate. I’m tired of the awful things people do to each other. I’m tired of waking up in the morning and knowing something horrible may have happened. I’m tired of watching my fellow age group go to hell.
I’m tired of people not standing up for what they believe, in a way that doesn’t involve bloodshed, damage to property, traffic jams and otherwise counterproductive actions. I’m tired of reading people whine in the newspaper about life, when they could have simply accepted that life isn’t fair and most of the time it’s your fault. I’m tired of people posturing to get into the news.
I’m tired of Olympians cheating. I’m tired of people behaving badly, just because they can and it’s “cool”. I’m tired of riots in Fort Collins and Boulder because simple idiot college students drink too much or generally have no thought process behind them and their actions. I’m tired of these people sitting in a classroom when they really don’t care.
I’m tired of a world spent, used and having just been through it’s fourth wind.
I’m simply tired.
