Passing through New York from Europe this morning was not fun. Actually it was a hassle to be in New York.
This time it wasn’t because of the traffic jam and for once I wished it was. It seems that we as Americans can’t lose an opportunity to make fools of ourselves. There is this mosque thing going on in New York and its really bugging. Not that I care if a mosque is built or not. I come from an area where religious buildings dot every corner.
It’s this need to always go picket about each and every thing that is not important. I think there are more important issues that will affect my kids in the future. For example banks that charge shylock loans. I haven’t seen anyone picketing that. What about medicare? I haven’t seen anyone picketing the need to have an understanding of Medicare part D plan.
But oh no, if Obama said something, we must go to the streets and make travelors like me spend hours in traffic. Please go home. There is new technology to make your voices heard. You have heard of polling, forums, chat rooms, calling your senator?
