2012 Election year for the Presidential race in the United States. It's also the end of the Mayan calendar. Somehow that seems appropriate. But there will be political unrest on the internet particularly on FaceBook. Friends will become divided and make angry comments on the posts that their usual friends might post trying to convince their other friends to vote for this candidate or that.
I had resigned myself to voting for candidates years ago that scored the least on the Suck-O-Meter and had no hope for anyone to come along who really had a grasp of issues that really mattered. Until this year. Most candidates are continuing on with their usual political "Dog and Pony Shows." All of them except Ron Paul. This guy actually talks about issues facing the United States instead of attacking the other candidates. It looks promising but, the year has just started and any of them could implode at any time.
One of the things that really concerns me is that the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act which gives them the authority to seize, hold and inter anyone (let me say that again) ANYONE who they deem a threat to National Security. Well, on the bright side those internment camps get pretty good health care and dental work I am told, so they may not be so bad.
I am going to start looking for a cabin in the woods with no TV, no phone, no internet and just spend my last days carving things out of wood. In the meantime, I am going to go check my Ron Paul yard sign.
