It's getting near that time of the decade when my hackles rise at even the prospect of discussing politics. If McCain and Palin don't win, I don't know what America is going to do, because frankly Obama will wreak havoc on our underlying constitutional rights over the next four years. I don't necessarily think that McCain has exceptional ideas for our country, but who cares? Every one of his ideas encourages our government to get back to their proper role, instead of promising to increase already-ludicrous costs and oversee already-ludicrous government control over the people, he actually understands the concept of living in a free country. Obama is so liberal that he has lost even a semblance of his own ideals in a life-long pursuit to please everyone and anyone who complains.
I've been hearing a lot about how horribly injust it is that a CEO could get fired and still receive a severance package of however-many million or billion dollars. Sure, it's unjust. It's ridiculous. But it is not the role of the federal government to intervene! It is the role of the company shareholders and owners to intervene! People discuss conflict theory like it is an evil, hissing snake that will someday devour us. They say that the order of our society is and has always been maintained by inequality, and that inequality must be abolished. I agree that inequality is wrong, but who defines inequality? Also, if inequality is what holds our society together, why are we trying to destroy it? We should find different methods of dealing with it. For example, the cost of local land will usually determine how much money a local school receives, resulting in sometimes huge discrepancies between the quality of schools that are barely miles apart. If they want to fix it, the federal government does not have to intervene! It can be done at a state level. We discuss these types of issues only when there is a presidential election; what about state elections? Shouldn't we be more involved in state legislature so that we can deal with the lower-level problems on a lower-level basis?
