From the Trenches: Political Waste
By Dave Cummings
YNOT – Politics seems to be everyplace lately. Granted, there’s almost always an excess of politics during election years, with elected offices and appointed positions at stake. I also see politics in families, schools, work, social groups, athletics, religion and the military. Lately, my mail box has been inundated with political flyers. What a waste of trees.
As a senior citizen, I’ve stopped letting telephone poll-takers query me with their lengthy surveys and questions. It’s just too time consuming and intrusive for me. I sense that my blood pressure goes up and all three remaining pieces of my hair stress during political seasons. Term limits might cut back on election politics, but the constant news coverage of way too many political matters needs to chill. It seems like an invasion of sorts in our lives. What a waste of time.
As far as I’m concerned, politics can and should take a back seat to our lives. And, while I’m ranting, politicians should serve the people, not the other way around. Politicians need to remember they work for their constituents. Getting reelected should not be a politician’s main goal; rather, doing what’s right and for the good of those served should be the top priority. To do otherwise is wrong. What a waste of opportunity.
Last week I did something I’ve resisted for many years: I purchased a cell phone. I bought an iPhone like my kids and grandkids have, so they are helping me learn how to use it. I also recently had a tune-up on my eyes, which had laser treatment 15 years ago. Medical advances are amazing — now, when I do my many checks every day to make certain I still have all three pieces of my hair, I can merely use a mirror to count them.
Although shoots have been few and far between in this age of piracy and copyright infringement, I thankfully still enjoy a lot of sex via the swinging world and the girlfriends and wives of fans. I’m storing up on get-togethers with local coed groupies, because another college school year is fast approaching. I go through a lot of condoms. What a waste of a vasectomy!
Memorial Day is coming up, so please remember to use sun block … and, yes,
condoms if you get lucky.
Have a great summer, and become an informed. Participate in the upcoming elections. Voting is not a waste!
