It looks as though Obama and Hillary are getting along now. Does it really matter who wins the Democratic ticket? If one wins, they will probably pick the other for a running mate. All I know is that we definitely need some type of change in the leadership. Real change needs to happen!. Small changes will not make a difference.
Being an Independent, I can't have my say in the primary because I live in Maryland. What type of law is this anyway? Looks like I will have to wait to vote in the one that counts... or does it?

Iconic Obsessions
When will we as a society understand that famous people are just as ordinary as everyone else? Millions of people buy magazines that critique famous people, show pictures of their faults, explain why they are just like us and tell lies about their lives. Why does society obsess over the people in the public eye?
Is it because "ordinary" people want to know what is like to be in the public eye? Is it because "ordinary" people want to feel like they are friends with the "stars"? I don't know the answer. It almost makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Britney Spears is constantly ridiculed by the media. Why? If she wasn't famous, she would just be an ordinary mother that likes to party. Is she really even partying too much? How do we know? We aren't with her. We believe what the media tells us. Why do we believe anything the media tells us?
I think we need to start living our lives and worry about what we can do to better our world.

Let's begin the discussion...
Today marks the day that I will begin this blog. I will discuss many topics that float through my mind and grab at the very root of my existence in this world. Many themes will be discussed...
Politics
Citizenship
Power
War
Poverty
Education
Business
Ethics
Common Sense
I am very young to this world. Being 28 years old, I don't claim to know it all. A few themes that are common in my life are questioning, and thinking about decisions that are made that effect everyone. As I get older, my eyes get wider and my brain fills with thoughts and reflections. Many questions also enter the equation. This is my platform to spew my thoughts and maybe try to make sense of an ever-growing world of problems.
