pol-i-tics

not much of a political junky. or anything. i guess i usually stay out of it. i vote. and try to be an educated citizen. but sometimes it is frustrating. when you dont think your ballot counts. or matters.

while reading the local sunday paper yesterday. there was a nice story about ike. a local kansas boy. who went all the way to the white house. the story was promoting a museum with different artifacts and what nots from eisenhower's journey. one item that stood out to me was a letter from a young african american girl. she asked the president why he and his colleagues worried about going over to other countries to teach them how to live, when we as americans were dealing with the same issues. this made me snicker a little. if you look at our country right now. we are dealing with it now too. just interesting how things dont change. progress maybe. but i wonder. with both campaigns right now shouting. change. change. change. will they. or will our children look back. and chuckle as well.
