When airplane passengers fear unexpected turbulence, they usually look at a flight attendant’s face for reassurance. Obviously, flight attendants know more than passengers. They’re experienced, trained, and have access to more information.
Ditto this scenario for cancer. We trust oncologists to know more than ourselves.  It’s easy to admit powerlessness when you lack skills to solve the problem.

However, when it comes to politics, America is full of political geniuses. The majority of these political geniuses never run for office. If they know so much then why don’t they get up and do something?  Why don’t they volunteer to make the World better?  Join a campaign, donate, volunteer or help educate the youth?  Sitting around complaining is just sitting around complaining.  Trust me, I’m a woman and I know for a fact that…nagging doesn’t work.  Change does.
Which flight attendant do you want on your flight?
 No, this post isn’t about you, you or you. And neither were the other blog posts.

Misfits for Tea Baggers

I was using my Misfits coffee mug to tea bag this morning when I decided “coffee mug” was offensive to tea bags.  Therefore, I changed the name coffee mug… to hot beverage mug.  I was unable to change feelings or intent, but, the combination of letters used for description is different.  More importantly, I was heard, I had power and…I was important.

As I said in April 2009…if you’re into tea bagging…or a Tea Party member that’s your choice. If you’re protesting, that’s also your choice. The beauty of America is… I don’t care what you do because I don’t have to do what you do. I am me. However, the attention-seeking inappropriate public behaviors are annoying.  I know it’s an excellent way to make money off of teenagers without appearing to be making money off of teenagers… but seriously… dig a little deeper in your soul.

• Vandalizing is a good way to start lawsuits, lay-off more workers and raise the cost of liability insurance. Last time I checked, repairs cost money.  Who wins?  Attorneys.
• If you dislike Corporate America…don’t let anyone see your corporate made phone used to video protesters who are using corporate made cardboard that you upload to a corporate owned site or server.  Wordiness intended.
• Pick up after yourself. If you don’t like debt then don’t run up a cleaning bill.

Don’t take it personally when people disagree with your policy. It’s not about you. Plus, the Narcissistic Control Freak Association isn’t accepting new member applications.
