Gone As Fast As It Came!
So in the last post you find out we have an open mic. The day after we got the open mic, the club that was hosting it CLOSED! Uh What? Yep. Closed.
Small town politics is killing art in this country. We may not be fine art but we are artist’s. We express the sign of the times, reveal current frustrations and lend vision to the future. It seems that the people running these small towns want everything to be perfect. Small towns with nice houses and properly dressed people. I can’t wait until we are all the same. Marching like pigs to the slaughter. Wearing the same clothes, and listening to the same music(crap). The real problem is that people like us are plenty but we don’t involve ourselves in local politics we leave it up to other people. Even that is not the real problem. We are so busy with everything else we feel we don’t have the time. So the people with nice cars and property, who feel the need for a little bit of power do it for us. I feel that most politicians aren’t in it for the right reasons. They are in it for power and control. Hence the current state of government in the United States. They aren’t getting anything done. They are worried about themselves and not us. They are full of crap and very few can be trusted. Which leads me to another topic.
When talking about politics most people feel like they know the truth of it based on what they see and hear in the news and sometimes get into a belligerent conversation calling the other side names. I have lost faith in the media in America and I would like to reveal the truth. My question to you is who do you believe? Who can you believe? The candidates? The Media? Everything is spun. You know not the truth. So how can you argue a point of view when the information you get is false or at least unverified. One thing I heard Obama say recently was that we need to make our Government more transparent. Put everything online. Every document! Then we can find out the facts ourselves. How about we start talking to each other instead of listening to the news. Shut it down. Listen once a week for an update and start talking to each other. Republicans Democrats and Independents. Calmly talking and explaining ourselves and our thoughts and stop recycling other peoples opinions. Have one of your own based on the local people around you. I am sick of the spin. I just want one media outlet the reports just facts. I don’t want to hear anyones opinion I want my own. I’m sick of the negativity in the Media. We know things are messed up. Hearing it everyday creates fear in our minds. Once you’ve realized things are bad in this country. Turn it off. Change yourself. Do what you can to help others. Take the negative chant out of your lives. If we start from within we will spread this far and wide.
There I said it. I feel better.
Thanks,
Paul Chase Jr.
