The world of politics is like traveling down a highway from one location o another. We often wish for something different, yet when we come to an intersection with multiple options like two main roads and a couple less traveled, what do we tend to do? We stay on one of the main roads we are familiar with. Thus it's the same old tired trip, time and time again. All the while complaining about the road. All this complaining isn't going to change the trip nor the things we see. At best they will repave it to make us think it is better. Politics is the same way. We have seen the two main roads from point A to point B all too many times. This road is horrid to say the least and we complain about it. Then turn right around the next election cycle and repave the road with the same lame materials. Never altering the route. Every now and then we will come to a detour as they put in a fancier bridge over troubled areas to make us think something is being corrected. When that bridge is done and the detour closed where are we? At the same sorry location with the same sights as before. Those who stick to the main highways (real or figuratively as with politics) really have no idea what it's all about. Nothing is going to ever change until we stop using the two main routes and learn to take one of the side routes less traveled. There my friends will we see the change we seek. We will in taking these less used routes still arrive at our destination, but in doing so be able to experience new and exciting times, be refreshed and all be better off in the long run. In your search of the political world and who can and will do the job that is needed, take a look at the alternate routes and be willing to travel the other road for a change. You will find the trip much nicer than the one we are all on at the moment. |
