It is an important time in America, and it's pretty hard to deny that. Congressional elections will be held in less than a week here and some pundits say how America votes (whether its for more republicans or democrats) will be how they judge President Obama's performance his first 18 or so months as number 44.
My message to you, the readers, that I hope you pass on to others who vote is simple: vote for who YOU want and who YOU believe in. Please do not let CNN, Fox News, or any other news program determine who you vote for. If you are for less taxes and government, fine. If you are for an expanded government with the promise of government security and oversight in our nation, then that's fine too.
What gets to me about politics is the money spent. So often you hear about the debt our nation has accumulated, yet spending related to politics, whether in campaigns, ads, rallies or the like often is not ridiculed as a form of wasteful spending.
I call it wasteful spending because I speak from experience with social networking expertise that in order to get a word out about who you are or about your campaign, you can do so for free via social networking sites. President Obama did a great job at utilizing this during his presidential run in 2008. I am not saying to avoid political spending altogether, but more of an emphasis needs to be placed on social networking sites and its value, because candidates and the public can save a lot of money that way.
It's not a one stop solution, but it can help alleviate some massive spending which is what the people ultimately want.
Agree? Disagree? Other suggestions?

What is this blog anyway??
Dear Readers,
To an alien from another planet trying to figure out what humans are, in simplest of terms, we would seem like bags of water, liquid, or blood. The alien wouldn't know that we started our journey hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years ago in Africa, and that various migration patterns led humans to look diverse and the way we do today.
The alien wouldn't know about political divide, political unrest, economic instability, the ten commandments, or about the Chicago Cubs failing to win baseball's world series every year.
The point is that this blog will touch on a variety of subjects, from the political news of the day to a hot sports subject. Though this author has a huge fascination with everything scientific (whether it be NASA related or technology related), sports, and politics.
It needs to be clear that YOUR voice is needed to keep this blog going. If you don't agree with someone, dislike a subject, want to start a conversation about another subject, or anything else, just speak your word.
But above all else, please remember that we are all bags of water, everyone has an opinion and passion and no one needs to be ridiculed.
Thank you and let's start talking!
