Sow and Reap. Just leave me out of it.

It is almost that time again. Almost time to give up, again. Yes, I have given up before, and once even gave up giving up (http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7322716431460132023#editor/target=post;postID=1727575944594939689. But I have to say that I am getting very tired indeed of the reticence of otherwise intelligent people who continually blame Obama for all the ills of the country. I have tried to present what I thought were cogent and well-explained points of view, and get nowhere. Well, I get called things. Never mind. I can and will never believe that the current administration, faced with a massive debt at the front end, the speaker of the house announcing "Our goal in the next 4 years it to make this a one term presidency" and a shuffle of the house to make obstruction a fine art, is the problem. Not one bit. Yes, I think mistakes were made. By both sides. But the egregious ones were on the other side.
So I am not going to try to express my logical opinions for a while. When the election is over we will all see who wins, who loses, who was disenfranchised and who bought what. Until then, I will quietly watch the Republicans attack the Democrats and vise-versa. I will feel bad about all the lies that will fly, and all the distortions of positions that will be presented. I will not make a point about any of it.
Woody is turning over a new leaf.
We reap what we sow. So I say "Sow away pal, sow away. And be ready to reap what you sow."
I think I will consider the merits of beer for a bit. And maybe the merits of bird watching and orchid growing. No point what so ever talking about politics. It is way too late for that.
