The knot in my stomach grows tighter as I read.  It seems almost everything I read is just, well, rubbing me raw these days.  I am so sick of the finger pointing,  soapbox dancing,  and Bush bashing as though he alone is responsonsible for all the ills in our country.  Please, get real!  

At the risk of isolating myself even more than I already have,  I am so sick of the finger pointing on the various issues both political and spiritual.  Healthy discussion is one thing, but that infers and mutual respect for those whose opinions are shared.  We can disagree and remain civil, if we choose to! 

It's like we've become, or are on the brink of becoming a nation, or community of toddlers, each insisting on his/her own way ... or else we'll take our ball and go home! 

Maybe it's because of the nature of blogging?  Maybe there are enough of us who are disturbed by certain things and this is the only place we have to shout about it.  Maybe that is what these many blogging communities have become - a place to rant for those who feel somewhat powerless elsewhere. 

I don't know, but ... right now, blogging isn't fun here.  Maybe it's just me.  It isn't a MYSPACE issue, but just too much bulls*it.    I'm sure I'll be around.  Maybe it will pass ...
