I Must Be Deaf

I don't know if it's the cold temperatures, 2nd morning of 20 below here, or what but I have no motivation. Plenty out there to talk about but the motivation to do it is lacking. Do you understand what I am saying?<br />n<br />nI could talk about <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/01/13/news/state/25-bill.txt">Democrats gushing</a> over Governor Schweitzer's education bill, big surprise that the Democrats are supporting it without thinking, or I could talk about the push to make <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/01/13/news/state/45-illegal.txt">businesses responsible for stopping illegal immigration</a> in the state, or the state moving forward on <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/01/13/news/state/50-panel.txt">further restrictions on free speech</a>. I just don't have the energy though. I wonder if it's all really worth it though?<br />n<br />nWhat difference does all this make? What difference does one lone voice in the wilderness make? All I can do is love my family, take care of my animals and keep my head down so the government doesn't come along and unthinkingly take it off. That seems like all the government wants to do is fence us in tighter and tighter until we can no longer breathe or move and the majority of people just love it.<br />n<br />nI'm tired of it all. Tired of trying to make sense of it all. There is no sense to it, just unthinking legions marching in lock step to the beat of the drum that I don't seem to hear or sense. Where did I miss it? Why am I not hearing it? What should I do?<br />n<br />nAll I can do is relax and enjoy my family, that's all any of us have.<br />n<br />n<strong>Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward. Henry Ford</strong>
