politicalsynthesis

If photosynthesis is nourishment from a light source, then using the same logic, politicalsynthesis is deriving nourishment from politics.  OMG I am a news geek!  THis time of the political season becomes an all consuming desire to digest all the political crap I can read, watch, listen to and otherwise obtain.  If it was possible I would lie on a newspaper if I could get the info through osmosis, now if only I could figure out a way to turn news into a liquid.  I will work on that after the election, it will help me with my withdrawal problems.

Normally I am pouring over info/news from around the world looking for trends that could become problems and trying to analyze them to see if there could possibly be a solution.  Then when I think it is safe to read the news–BAM!–it is US election time with debates and sound bytes and accusations and……  Then it is like someone that just got a speed injection–I go into high gear–forsaking all other news for the elections.  I am such a news whore!

I try to get the American people, at least the ones that will listen, to think about their choices.  That the two party system is really not accomplishing a whole lot.  Since Reagan we have gone to the party as the most important aspect of politics and have ignored the country and the people.

With the coming election, my political hunger reaches out to me and drives me to comment on everything that I see.  It is a bit frustrating at times, but with election there is much at stake and I try to get the people to make their determination through knowledge not emotions.  That in itself is a daunting task.
