At least it's not 2009 anymore. I don't know about y'all, but that's a year I would like to put behind me. If I could perhaps experience a bit of the Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind...not to forget the people but to forget the year and what happened in it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one. Supposedly the recession is over, but unemployment is still way too high and not going down - you've got love the notion of a jobless recovery. Every time I hear "jobless recovery" I just think about how the corporations are recovering, but Joe America is still getting screwed.
How many wars are we still fighting? Two too many. And who knows what's going to happen in Iran or Yemen over the coming year. I'm glad that I don't have to make the decisions for the country, because I certainly can't think of a good way to extricate ourselves from these messes.
I don't take the terrorist threat lightly, though. I think it is likely a bigger deal now than it was in the last decade. If someone needs to look at a scan of me before I get on a plane, then I will gladly give up a little more privacy to keep from dying, or to keep others from dying in a terrorist plot, or prevent the U.S. from sending more of our soldiers someplace else where they may die.
I'm just kind of rambling my way back into the first post here in a while, but that's okay. Better to ramble than to do nothing. :) This isn't so bad after all (the act of blogging, that is, and not necessarily reading what I've blogged) and maybe I can get back into a regular rhythm at least for a little bit...
