Sheltered

So the silence may be going a bit overboard. I realized today that I really have no idea what's going on in the world around me. I used to be very interested in politics and current events, issues, and concerns. I have become so annoyed with certain types of people and they're ridiculousness that I don't want to hear it anymore. For instance these town hall meetings that are being held for the health care reform. Who are these people!? Yelling out "OBAMA'S A SOCIALIST!" (oh my goodness he wants to help everyone) "YOU SHOULD BE TERRIFIED OF HIM!" (he's so scary!!!) "I'M SCARED OF HIM!" (like a monster!) Now as much as I didn't like Bush and I know many didn't like him and said things about him but I am so sick to death of the extreme right. They're like little babies and at the same time they're big bullies. They might as well just fall down in the middle of the room and start kicking and screaming. I want to forget that people like this exist. Heaven forbid one of these raging lunatics get caught in a bad situation where they need help and their government turns their back, they become homeless, without health care, without ANYONE that gives a shit about them. Why are people so scared of change? This world is always changing? Old women call the bank and hate Internet bill pay because it's change. I couldn't live without it. People hated Elvis. Sometimes I just think people need a reason to complain. They need something to hate to feel purpose. I have a different purpose. I'm not really interested in all the madness in the world anymore. It's a major downer.
