Leaders sweat the small stuff and leave the
big worries to us
I stayed quiet while our
country went to war without cause, I kept my mouth shut as our President
stole from the poor and gave to the rich, and I didn't speak up when money
for education was cut down to a sinful nothing.
I am tired of being the quiet, tax paying, voting citizen of these United
States and of the great State of Idaho.
Why is it that while our economy is failing us, our soldiers are dying in
an unjustified war, state employees are suffering from amazingly low
wages, and students at local schools are having to get by with almost no
state support, are our Congressmen and our President wasting time deciding
whether or not gay marriages are legal?
Personally, I have no problem with gay marriages. Marriage should be
between two people who love one another, regardless of sexual orientation.
I must say though, that gay marriage is the least of my worries, and
should be the least of my country's problems during our current national
state.
It is disappointing to be a college student and have to discuss the trauma
that our nation is facing, while our men and women in Washington discuss a
constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
How pathetic.
It's amazing that I am more concerned about the important problems facing
our nation than those that I helped to elect.
Welcome to our great Idiocracy, the USA.
