Love is my religion....

So there I was, sitting in front of the television, or "tell–lies vision" as some like to call it, watching these crazy people shouting at town hall meetings about health care, and socialism, and what the founding fathers wanted...And I say to myself, "Self, dem people really going mad over health care, like for real for real..."

I mean where were these people when money was cut from the education and housing budgets....Where were these people when the evidence came out that were no weapons of mass destruction...Where were these people when attorney generals were being fired for not falling in line...Where were these people when there were no bids being made for contracts...and if they are so angry about it, then what is their solution, because more and more people are loosing their health care coverage, and call it a hunch, but I have this funny feeling that none of these people are without health care coverage...

Which brings me to Obama and his first few months in office...The other day, I got in to an open discussion on Facebook about the new presidency and I wrote the following comment:

"I think people were under the common misconception that Obama as one man could reverse the momentum of this gigantic machine that has been continuously in motion...as Billy Joel said: "We didn't start the fire...It was always burning...Since the world's been turning..." It is a lot bigger than Obama, and one cannot imagine the tremendous pressure he is under, to make wine out of water...I wouldn't want his job...But I genuinely hope he succeeds, not just because of who he is, but because America & the world, is in dire need of solutions right now...

Too many times, we expect people to deliver "the change" to us in a "nicely wrapped package," but if you don't "git up, get out, and get something" like Outkast and Goodie Mob said, then the change just might pass you by...

But like Ziggy said, "Love is my religion..." and the world needs more of it...
"



So to sum everything up, people, unu need to stop shouting for the sake of shouting, and if you not saying something, it's better to just say nothing...because memba me tell yuh...Love is always the solution...RIDDIM UP...
