It's Hard Being Me.

There are two kinds of people in America. No, that's not right. There are three kinds of people in America. Well, actually there are probably five. And if I add any more to the list, I'll loose my train of thought, if I had one. So let's stick with five. First you have the far right person. He, or she, believes everyone should be left to his or her own devices almost entirely and they want someone to make sure it happens. Opposite of that is the far left person. He or she believes the government needs to help nearly everyone to do nearly everything. Then you have the moderates on each side. These two aren't all that far apart and in fact are nearly independent. That leaves those who really don't give a tinker's damn. They aren't going to vote at all but they are going to complain about anyone who gets elected. This is my group. All except that I do vote. In every election. I feel that if you're going to find fault with an elected official, you should have at least voted. Either for or against that someone. If you voted against that person, you can claim you were right all the time. If you voted for that person, you can complain that he or she has changed and isn't the same person you voted for. There is a tremendous advantage to being in this category, as opposed to being either left or right, either moderately or aggressively so. See, left can only find fault with right and visa-virsa. But me, I can point out the inability or unwillingness of everyone to do the job they were elected to do. There's just one problem with being correct all the time. It's hard work and half the world hates you for being correct. The other half thinks you just stole the idea from them. There could even be some truth to that. And that's more than one problem, isn't it?
