Okay--I didn't used to be into politics at all!  You can credit Oggie for getting me fired up.  However, I consider that a positive thing because it's a scary world and I don't see it getting much better any time soon.  If you're not informed, you need to get that way.  So many things are happening in our country right now.  We actually have states threatening to succede (spelling?).  We are facing a depression.  We have government taking control of many things like the census and today I hear that they want nationalized banking!  Now if you think that those two things don't sound that bad, you're wrong.  The more government controls, the more freedom we lose.  What will the world be like for our kids?  The other day when I was watching Glenn Beck (you should watch him--Fox 3:00 daily and I respect him knowing his LDS beliefs), he showed the cover of Newsweek.  Take a look at the icon.  Uhhh...I'm not a socialist and I don't think socialism is okay!!!  However, that's the road we are taking.  Long before Obama was elected, I have had several heated conversations at college about what a socialist he is and if he's elected we will take a turn towards socialism.  I could go on and on, but it's something I think you should all take interest in.
