The Politics of Fear

It amazes me that so money people accept the way things are in the world, politically and economically. Unfortunately, I have to question my purchases regularly, but it is what is is. I was behind someone in the store who had loaded up on different brand items, but it was a small shop and it cost her $75.00! I saw many things that were probably not on sale and in my house would not last 3 days! I bought 4 boxes of Italian ice, and 8 cans of chicken (in case of a storm) and saved 21.00 on my purchase. MY Total was 19.00, so I saved over 55%. Another plus, is that this week we did not throw out any rotten fruit! Not only do I save money at the store, but I use it all. I'm preparing my list for this Sunday's shopping trip, and I am looking forward to saving money, it is such work sometimes, but I do enjoy it. There are ways to cut back and be happy....and I am forced to cut back...that's just the way it is!
I find myself wanting to make a difference. I want to get involved in the political process, so if this means that I stand outside with an Obama poster, then so be it! Wherever I am needed, I will go, if it is within my power. The Republicans scare me, but I won't live in fear! The idea of having 4 years of John McCain is depressing! My solution for today is to get out and enjoy myself and keep informed. Always, always keep informed, know what goods you are buying because it is us, the American people who have to live with the consequences. I have to vote for the issues, and for me that is Barack Obama.
