Checking out

The last two posts I made, on Obama and Goldman Sachs, are the last posts of that type for awhile from me. In fact, I am so frustrated, sick and tired of politics and finance that I am simply dropping out, checking out, unplugging.

I have unsubscribed to most all of the political and financial email lists that I had subscribed to over the last so many years and am going to turn my attention to things that I can have a modicum of control over, like gardening, playing music, creating art, home improvement, personal health.

Maybe I'll start to feel like I can actually have an effect on the world around me again. Maybe I'll begin to feel like there is some real hope for the world. Maybe I'll become interested in politics again someday, but I hope not.
