Random ramblings for today!

I am the only one who is sick of all the political campaigns that are running on TV already? I think they should make some sort of law that the slander and rude commercials cannot be started until September. I mean, that still gives them two entire months to ruin each other's lives. And let's be honest, what you publish on TV about your opponent isn't going to sway my decision. I'm going to do my research on you. I'm going to find out what you've voted for or against and I am going to educate myself with more then the propaganda that you place on TV about your opponent. At least, if I am a responsible American that is what I am going to do.

Here is another random thought. I'm not going to blame BP or the government, although I believe that the government should have stepped in and made BP do something earlier, about the oil spill. Passing blame between the two is a waste of time and obviously not going to solve the issue at hand. But for the sake of BP don't you think they'd turn that webcam off? I mean, is it really helping their cause to show America and the world for that fact the millions of gallons of oil being spilled into the ocean every day? I don't think so. Let's shut it off. It's so depressing. I've never felt so sorry for the people of the gulf coast. Can you imagine what this is doing to their economy? I know we know that people are suffering now but the suffering isn't going to end just because we plug up the hole. This is going to be a suffering that goes on for years, maybe decades and sadly affects more then just the gulf coast. It's very sad.

I haven't been following the national news much lately. It's just to depressing and since I already feel like a beached whale, adding depression to that doesn't sound like a good idea. I have been ready kare11.com quite often though and I've come to realize that a lot of people have been dying in Minneapolis lately. Tons of car accidents, murders, little kids wandering around on bikes being hit. It's starting to make me wonder what's going on. Okay, murders, I get. Not that I think it's okay but unfortunately there will always be someone who is going to go to violence. But the amount of deaths from car accidents seems amazing to me and I've read about a 2 and 5 year old being out at night once which resulted in a hit and run. I don't get it. It's summer and I know that increases the amount of people out and about but why do we lose our sense of caution? I guess I'll keep Addie on her harness when we're in public.

Okay, sorry you have to suffer through my ramblings. My husband is out mowing the lawn and I needed to get my thoughts out to someone!! Have a great night and try, if it's possible, to stay cool!
