Change

It is just amusing to me, this change thing. Both major nominees proclaim they will change politics in Washington. And many of their colleague supporters sitting in the audiences at the convention or other occasions dutifully nod in support.

And I am thinking to myself, who is is that determines how things are done in Washington? I am sure the nominees do not mean they would want to change the way garbage is being picked up or mass transportation managed. They certainly mean that they want to change the way government (of the people) works.

Well them, who is it that needs to make those changes? It seems to me that it is all those representatives and senators sitting and nodding their heads in approval of what the nominees are promising to do.

So, why are they waiting to indeed make them changes, whatever them changes may be, if they so happily agree that the changes are needed and coming (only if their candidate wins, of course)? Why not start now? Why wait for January?

Something just does not compute in all that for me. What do you think? More of the same political baloney? Yeap. I'd say so. Baloney ... and whoever buys it is getting close to nothing for a very high price.
