Writer's Block: Ripped from the Headlines
Mar. 28th, 2009 01:26 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
News about the economy, or anything that the government is doing, tends to make me angry. I see no real effort to make the world a better place, only to more thoroughly entrench positions of power and influence. Once again we were promised "no new taxes, not a penny" (ghostly shades of "read my lips!")... only to be told two months later that "we must tax and spend to save the economy." That makes me very angry because it's not the change I voted for. It's absolutely more of the same.
While I can't think of a specific recent news item that made me happy, I enjoy reading stories about people stepping outside of the box to make a difference in the lives of others, or lifting the human condition in general.
