Yes, Enough is Enough!

When reading my classmates blog “The Cake is a Lie” I found the latest entry “Enough is Enough” quite insightful and entertaining. The main theme of the entry is regarding the constant bickering done amongst politicians. I agree that it is no longer a gentleman’s/woman’s arena but has become one of sensationalism and shock factor in a means to be recognized and heard. I felt strongly on this point of view because it is a trend I see throughout all media sources these days. Even when I watch ESPN these days there is an extremely popular show called “First Take”. For a full two hours sports journalists, bicker, yell, scream, and make extreme accusations and statements as their forum of discussion. It is the point that I cannot bear to watch and have lost respect for these “journalists” because they are not making well thought out statements but using loud voices and far-fetched accusations to become recognized. Now this is a sports channel so I can cut them some slack, when it comes to our Politicians representing us they need to keep it together and rise above the nonsense.

Again as mentioned in “Enough is Enough” represent us as a people with class and dignity. Spend less time on the non-issues and attack the matters of importance. “How much time (aka money) was wasted on these topics while jobs were being lost and economy was declining? This causes me actual fear. Although, I’m sure that for every “State Question” being decided there are hundreds of other necessary issues being discussed and problems being solved. Right?” 

Obviously I agree with the stance and would love to see nothing more than for this to happen but I also understand the reality that no politician would ever get elected if they only focused on important matters and spent less time on popularity. As funny as that sounds it is the truth and the world we live in. So in conclusion I stand behind my classmates rant and hope that our leaders and politicians can find a common ground between the bickering and taking care of business!
