I just watched “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO; the upcoming election has proved to be fodder for playing the usual blame game. Democrats versus Republicans…? That “he said, she said”, syndrome; it accomplishes nothing and instead makes everyone look foolish.

Face it, our government is a mess, and it’s pointless to place blame on one party over another. What American’s should be doing is accepting responsibility and then acting…..?

Everyone seems to be missing the point? Maybe this is what got us in the predicaments we’re in, sort of a ‘Modus Operandi’; like an Atomic-bomb exploding in the middle of Washington D.C. — the survivors run around blaming each other for the catastrophe instead of helping each other.

The opportunity to control the fallout is missed and more people die; that’s how I feel about our administration, but it’s not just the past eight years.

It started long ago, in a galaxy far, far, away called, “Vietnam”.

I’m not going to make the mistake of blaming anyone but myself because if, there’s a mushroom cloud on the horizon then we’re all f*cked anyway (in the sense that maybe we’re not doing enough to restore our democratic values).
