A lot of people claim they're not interested in politics. And up to a certain extent, I can understand the frustration they feel when it comes to politics. We always have to negotiate something with our spouses, friends, family, and even coworkers and that my friends is politics. So, what I'm trying to say is that you can run, but you can’t hide. Yeah, I heard the story a million times; every four or five years we are given the impression that we have something to decide. I hate to spoil the party, but you are not deciding anything at all. And you may be wondering and asking yourself, why? Well, that is a very exclusive club and you are not in it.
One thing is clear, we are living in a world where racism is on the rise, and if you do not believe what I'm saying just take a look at the news and see what's going on in the United States. I wouldn't want to live in the United States in this particular time of our contemporary history. On the other hand, Spain is not a paradise either, but there are a lot of things that still attract me to this land. For the most part, I think that everybody is just fed up with corruption scandals and things politicians do in the name of their constituency. Let's not forget for a minute; we are the ones who elected them and put them in place. Therefore, we have what we deserve.
Now, not participating in politics is not the solution either. When you do that, you allow others to make decisions for you, and sometimes they are not the smartest, believe me! I strongly believe not everyone should be allowed to vote, and I am sure by making this claim a lot of people would hate my guts. But that is all right, I don’t want to impress anyone or make friends. That has never been the aim of this brief writing. I like to write things and then, later on, go back and read and see if I still feel the same way about some particular issue. I am a grown-up man, and I have completely lost my desire to watch the news about politics. Maybe, I am tired of being deceived; and like Tom Cruise, in the movie, Jerry Maguire said: “I have lost my ability to bullshit.” That statement, right there, clearly expresses the way I feel about politics.
