"Outrage?"

I see Mayor Bing has joined in the use of the word "outrage." More and more people are using it, on television, on radio, in the newspapers. "I am outraged!" "I am fed up!" No, you're not. "I've had it!" No, you haven't. "I'm not going to tolerate any more!" Yes, you are.

Politicians, local, state, federal. Athletes and entertainers. Schools. Businesses and CEOs. We are "outraged," "fed up," etc. Bologna/Baloney.

Where are your votes on election day? If they are anywhere, they are for the same Bozos or, at least, the same types of Bozos. Obviously, people simply accept what garbage the Dems or Reps throw at us. Vote for a third/minor party? That's tantamount to throwing away a vote. Not so, not if more and more people "throw away" their votes in such a manner. And, in my humble opinion (quite lonely, I'm certain), voting for Obama or McCain was throwing away a vote.

How about inundating our elected officials with letters, telling them why we are outraged and, if they persist in the insanity, our votes are going elsewhere next election? Yeah, right. Do you think Levin or Stabenow is worried right now, despite the junk coming out of the Senate and their lack of influence there? Of course not, you are going to vote for them next time regardless. They can be Bozos and still get your vote.

I'm becoming inured to people using the "outraged," "fed up," faces. Until they actually start acting, not talking, that is. And, I'm not holding my breath.
