Well I am undecided as of yet whether or not this is going to work for me. After my last post (lol only about an hour ago) I walked away from my keyboard feeling a little better. Then stupid me I came back and read it.
...
I got headphones the other day. Nice ones with the noise reduction. They were given to me like an early Christmas present. My old music sounds like new music. Kind of makes it hard to type.

Ok the reason reading my post was a bad idea is because it promotes a feeling of hopelessness. I mean, I have always tried to just accept the things that I know that I can not change. It seems pointless to try to complain about the obvious. LOL One the of things I like to complain about most is that people do that!
Asking "why" here leads to more questions than I care to attempt to type. I think I will settle for justifying my impulse by answering the question..."Why is it ok to complain about these things but not the others?"
Well....I dont know!
It just seems like most of the stuff I complain about has a way to be fixed. Granted, although my answers are possible they are in most cases implausable. Which is to say it could be done, but no one will do it.

Example: I have a disease. There is no cure known to science at this time. Treatments are designed to lessen the pain but nothing can be done to cure it. I am not happy about the situation but its not something I tend to complain about. I lost that Lotto.
HOWEVER!! I can complain about losses of paperwork and changes in government policies that mean that I can not even recieve the treatments listed above. I CAN complain that because I dont fall into what is an outdated definition of a "minority", I can not get the same help that someone able to get pregnant can get.

I know these words sound bitter, and I want to make myself clear that I am in no way mad at those who are able to get help in their lives. I am not mad at those who need to and do use the system, I am mad at the system that wont allow for a truly raceless, genderless standard.
Fixable? YES! National health care may very well be coming, and in that we may see our young lawmakers of all races and religions put away their grandfathers hates and fears long enough to see that our world HAS changed and our laws and government need to reflect those changes.
Plausable? NO Not as long as you need to wear a $400.00 suit to be accepted as a lawmaker in this country. As long as the first step to solving a problem is emulating the people who created the problem we can go no where.
I think these small differences in perspective are the only things I have to allow myself permission to bitch about the world.
If you think about it I am sure you can see why.
I need to get something together for dinner. I will be back later.
