United States of Whatever

I just want to be a kid again. I hate this reality I'm in (doesn't make me feel better to know you're in it, too) where the government won't listen to the people they represent. Sure, they've done it before, but $700 billion dollars? Our grandkids are going to be paying for this. This isn't the only way. I've emailed, called, and faxed my Senators and my House Rep, and they're not listening anymore. As one of my girlfriends, Charissa, said: "Between this and the election, I think I'll just take up drinking instead."
