A mental depression is chosing representatives who don't care about you, your family, your dreams, your government, or your world for two consecutive terms or more

Pandora was a goddess who either through curiosity or ineptitude let all the gifts of the gods out of a magic box except hope. Why did the Greeks choose hope to stay in the box? Hope is seen as a blessing and a curse. Some people believe that having too much hope is a sign of a weak or wandering mind. Some are afraid of hope out of fear of being disappointed. Why should we have hope? What alternative is there to having hope? What does hope give us that was important enough that the gods insured it stayed firmly locked in humanity's box of immortal gifts? Hope is the force that allows us to grow, mature, change, and become a better person, a better society. Hope and it's sister Imagination should be encouraged to flourish and grow in all people. Hope is the last best part of each of us. It is the kernal of soul that reaches out from within us and claims that we are better than we think we are. Hope knows no religious affiliation, no ethnic preference, no economic, political or societal requirement. I have great hope we can transcend the last eight years of economic disaster, international relations disaster, constitutional destruction, and social and educational injustice. I hope we can be better than we think we are. I hope we remember hope before it is too late. How much money, time and resources have gone toward worship of a deity? Science, reason and logic aren't always popular, especially as we recently seem to be moving away from those concepts and back toward a dark age of ignorance and mysticism. Anyway, here is a well thought out website that explores with logic why deities are fairly easy to disprove. http://godisimaginary.com/i6.htm Imagine my surprise when the guys who got CNN to go bananas over the Bigfoot find to admit that it was a HOAX...not only that but it was all meant to be a big joke! Sasquatch is not laughing! You mess with bigfoot and you will get squashed. Those fools better have a good lawyer because Bigfoot has a lot of clout and now he can't enter northern Georgia without body armor and a big orange vest. Bigfoot is a sensitive guy and he really doesn't like all the invasions into his personal life. When conspiracy theories make more sense than the truth, our society needs to fear.
Some of my friends were bemoaning reaching their 40th birthday and not having achieved the level of greatness they had hoped for yet. There are two good Latin quotes I like concerning our goals. M. Tullius Cicero said, "Dum spiro spero". While I breathe, I hope. Waking up each morning and finding I am still alive is always a good start to the day in my opinion. My grandfather always says something similar. There is also a famous Roman tombstone inscription that I like: Non Fui. Fui. Non Sum. Non Curo. I was not. I was. I am not. I care not. We worry so much about timeline goals when we should be more concerned about our relations with other beings. Does it matter if I get a Masters before I am 60? Well, yes from a financial standpoint it does. When we are dead, who will care about when I acheived my goals? We are rich by the number of people who care about us. If we don't nuture these relationships they wither and die as surely as do our ambitions when we are no more. Better to be humble and mourned than faboulous and forgotten.
Sasquatch was dismayed and outraged at the DNA results returned that indicated he was 96% opposum or all human. "Bullocks"! "There is no way I am related to the world's most famous roadkill or that idiot in the White House"! So are you a bigfoot believer? I am! I've seen him on television. If bigfoot was confirmed to be living in northern Georgia people would hunt the poor creature out of existence. Can you imagine MORE people with guns running around in the woods of Georgia lead by Ted Nugent or some other gun happy freak looking for tall furry ape men? I can see the T-shirts and video games now! I bagged the Great Khali or the Big Show! Will Geico have to change it's commercial to so easy a Sasquatch can do it? Then again, here is Sasquatch buying a hotdog. Where did he get the money? For his sake, I hope the latest Bigfoot find is another hoax. I don't want to see this guy in the zoo, Gitmo or some science lab. I was preparing a sandwich this morning. The Honey Turkey Breast package was labeled "White Meat Added". What exactly does that mean? The turkey breast wasn't white enough and needed more white meat added like perhaps some pork. What else was added, kibbles and bits? Maybe this is just another example of outsourcing and the turkey breast was packaged in a country where English is not spoken. Maybe the company that Kroger's gets it's meat from is run by the President of the Obvious. Then again, my ham package said water added not ham added.
Our Direct TV reception has been progressively worse since the start of summer. we attribute much of this to the trees growing leaves and also to the fact that satellite signals have difficulty penetrating air. Rather than ditch the dish I went out this week with chainsaw buzzing and cut some rather large limbs off of the closest maple tree. Honestly the maple tree has been calling me names for several years and I was just itching for an excuse for revenge. So after inflicting 40 points of damage to the tree and ten points of damage to myself my Direct TV coverage is 20% better than before. The signal still can penetrate air, leaves or clouds but it's still performs 41% better than Comcast cable.
