Bin Laden's Demise Is Good For Us.Life Goes On.

Well by golly Bin Laden is kaput. There really isn't anything to laugh about in this. He was an enemy, he killed Americans in a cowardly way, he has hid from justice for a very long time, he's been killed. Our forces did the job they were asked to do. Not much else has changed. We'll still face the threat of terrorism, we'll still have politicians bickering loudly, and there'll still be lots of material for comedians to use. The price of oil will continue to rise and people will continue to find reason to complain while driving. Food will continue to rise in price and people will continue to gain weight while overeating. Politicians will continue to complain about the deficit and the debt while increasing their pet projects. Political Action Committees will continue to lie about their mentor's opponents. And we still won't allow politicians to touch our Medicare or Social Security. There's a lot of comfort in these things. And that's to the greater advantage of politicians. Because when the electorate is worrying or complaining about things like these, they aren't watching legislators closely enough. That's when politicians are most mischievious. If you're not watching all the time, legislators legislate. That's not good. Whether it's a corporation or a government, someone has to keep an eye on them. Either a uniom or a government inspector or a news reporter, but someone. Otherwise, no good will come of it.
