Why I probably would not make a good president. . .

I am a pretty emotional person, and I'm a girl.  I think being a girl gives me the right to feel the way I feel about anything, and if you don't like it, well tough.  I also believe it's my world and you are all just my play things.
I know when I admitted to everyone a few months ago that I would want to be president, that everyone was going to write me in.  Probably should do that just yet.
Today is one of those days....I'm having trouble not being annoyed by everything and every one.  Sometimes that happens.  I have to give a speech in a bit on professionalism to all of IT and it happens to be on a day that I'm struggling.  Who am I kidding?  It's all about the appearance.
Why on days like today, do I not just stay away from my triggers?  Probably should have just stayed home.  I know it's best to let things roll off, and I know it's healthy to just say, "ah well it's over, so move on.."  Problem is ... I don't feel that way sometimes..
Somedays I want to be a guy.  They have it way easier than us girls.  We have to pee sitting down, or run the risk of wet pants.  We also have so much crap we have to go through, and well guys don't.  They can even just blame their coolness or lack of feeling or forgetfulness on being a guy.  Women have to remember everything and take care of everything and have to be able to multitask and. . . I think I'm tired.
Sometimes I am so moody, and the problem is I'm pretty witty too, so I can and do tear people apart.  Really I'm not even sorry when I do it.  I feel like a lot of people are missing something.  A smart gene or logic maybe.
I can't even point out the things that have happened to make me feel this way today, because I'll undoubtedly hurt someone in the process.
What's crazy - is that yesterday I felt so 'in control' of my emotions..and today I feel well..NOT..Something even crazier is that by the end of the day - I'm probably feel 'in control' again, and I am a woman and that is my right, so there.

Sometimes we're just dumb. . .

Okay - I am so thoroughly sick of a few things and since this is totally my blog, I'm gonna tell you all about it.

I would like to preface this by saying, that I am a Christian and that I can have the beliefs that I have and maintain my own relationship with God.

At some point in our civilized lives we've decided that the way that we vote for president works, even though clearly people are rarely happy (even those that vote for the candidate) in the end.  My question is this -  -  If we're a democracy truly, why don't we change the process?  Very few people seem to really think campaign ads do anything but upset American's - so why do our candidates keep doing it, and why do we as a democracy allow it to happen?  I didn't really spend time to understand what the Iowa Caucus was until today (I know..I'm 34 and I should know these things) but REALLY?  Why can we not all decide who's running for president together?  Better yet, why don't we let EVERYONE that wants to run, and then as smart educated people we vote for them.  It shouldn't be about money alone, and it somehow is...  And also, how do all of the smart people in this nation not see how corrupt this whole process is?  I'm completely tired of the insanity..  "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein


I realize that I am alone in some of my thinking, or I must be, cuz surely if a lot of people felt this way, things would change.  Alright - Also there is recycling - why are we not being forced to do this yet?  Why is our government (I know most conservatives thing being forced by the gov is wrong) not funding our trash companies to do this for us as a federal law?  Do you know how quickly we're ruining this planet and how much trash we generate a year?  Here check this out - - - http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/paper/faqs.htm   To me this seems like a no brainer.  People take care of our planet, we wouldn't throw trash on the floor of our home, so stop putting so much in landfills.

It seems like there are so many traditional things that we do as a society, just because it's always been done that way.  I feel like it's time to take hold and make changes, just like in business, you can't just keep running things the wrong way forever and say that we do it like that for the reason that it's always been done like that.  Change is good, if it's for the common good.

If everyone would really think about love and doing the best for one and other, things would change.  We wouldn't allow people to hurt our brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers.  I wish everyone would wake up in our "Stepford" wives society and realize that changes are needed.  How about for a few years (like maybe 20) our government and our citizens of this nation concentrate on things that are really hurting people right now?  (getting back on my soapbox) Okay like seriously people want to argue of prayer in schools?? Who cares?  My kid doesn't say the pledge but he is allowed to sing songs about Christ in his choir.  I'm not at all concerned about this, but I think it's weird that we want to tramp on anyone's rights of speech.  I do think it is only fair that if a child doesn't want to say the pledge or sing about whatever, for their beliefs then great and that's okay.  I do think things like this (stupid) should be not introduced in campaigning for president.

I'm not even really sure if the idea of the Presidency should be evaluated.  Why do we have one man as a figure head for our country?  It's not as if he makes decisions.  We do have congress and the senate..so why do we need him?  Why can't we re-evaluate the whole thing and start over with a new constitution.  We could use it as a basis, but there is no reason to just follow tradition here..is there?  I like the idea of people truly deciding things.  Why can't I decide whether we go to war?  Why can't we vote on the issues and not for people?

Anyhow just some of my random thoughts.

I'm running for president

So driving to Chicago always makes me think about toll roads.  Why don't we charge for bypass roads all over the place instead of raising taxes.   So if you choose to take the bypass then you pay a toll.  This works for other things like that too.  The government makes a lot of money off of ipass and i think they should do that other places.   Offer a slight discount but your ipass auto refills at 30 bucks which they draw interest on.  Imagine if 10000 people gave you their 30 bucks to bank.  It just makes sense.

I've said this before but also i don't get why the  government doesn't force our citizens to recycle. So let's say you buy a computer. My thoughts is that upon purchase you have to pay a disposal fee. This money would go to our trash company to pay them for proper disposal of whatever and then we as citizens just throw away everything.  Any money that the trash company makes from recycled items would go back towards the staffing of the program. This still gives everyone choices. They can choose not to buy items if they don't want to pay for properly disposing of them.
