Tuesday is dragging

Pretty boy John Edwards just can't help stepping in it. First the haircuts, then the outrageous mansion, now this. When is America going to wake up and realize that these guys are just in it for themselves. There's no such thing as honorable public service anymore.

I'm so glad I don't live in England. We all thought that Orwell was writing about the Third Reich but maybe he was really was being prophetic. The nanny-state is going to prevail eventually and we won't be able to do anything that even comes to close to free will. Anything that is judged potentially dangerous will be highly regulated and as a result we are going to evolve into a race of intellectually inferior beings with no sense of personal freedom.

This kind of thing infuriates me. Just because her daughter can' t wear the dress she bought for graduation and might get her feelings hurt is no reason to slap every other senior in the face who worked hard and earned their diploma. The idea that no one should suffer is just ridiculous. Suffering builds character and inspires people to do better so that they don't suffer again.
