take it elsewhere.

if you belong to any social networking site (like our dear friend facebook), then certainly your day has been inundated with political rants about health care this and health care that. and while i certainly can appreciate, and often enjoy, a good debate here and there, most times i just don't want to hear it. freedom of speech is a tremendous freedom. one that we absolutely take for granted because we are lucky enough to live in a country where it is a fundamental right.

however . . .

it can also bear great annoyance.

just as it has today. just as it has on the dawn of every major political crossroad. just as it has, oddly, on the eve of high stakes sporting events and even weirdly irrelevant celebrity occurrances which we somehow feel directly effect our day-to-day lives.

in any case, there seems to be a need for an over abundance of aggressive o.p.i.n.i.o.n.

while it can be great fun to pick apart trash tv shows or what so-and-so wore disastrously to some awards show or how such-and-such is a disgrace to professional sports because he or she fumbled the ball, there is a sincere irritation that sets in when your networking peeps make it a day's mission to berate you with doomsday-esque thoughts and beliefs about how our country is and should be functioning.

let's leave the hard stuff for washington.
