Until we rot away.

We play the blame game in America. Republicans blame Democrats. And Democrats blame Republicans. Nothing is our own fault. It's always the other guy's fault. If things ain't going right politically, economically and socially -- well, just elect the other guy. That's what we are being told to do now. But face the truth, folks. It won't do any good. Republicans won't do any better than Democrats. There's a chance they'll do even worse. We'll just make change for change sake. Not to solve problems. The realists amongst us know better. We'll keep blaming each other. Over and over again. Forever. Now in the USA we have candidates running for political office who advocate the violent overthrow of the government. For allegedly becoming too socialistic. Yes, we are making a straw man. And putting the blame on socialists. Or Muslims. Or black people. Pick anyone at random. It's his/her fault. Not our fault. In so many ways, our society has become putrid. Rotten. In the very core. It's shameful. And it's the fault of all of us. And not any of us is willing to take the blame. So, we'll never find a solution. We'll simply languish. Until we rot away. --Jim Broede
