Highway Politics

I suppose U.S. politics is a lot like highway driving.

Most people are content to travel within a small buffer around the speed limit, and they pretty much occupy the center lanes.

Some people move way too slowly (in my opinion, obviously) , and end up to the far right. Most of them are moving forward...true...but who can tell?

Other's want to jump ahead and get going already! They (e.g. I) drive in the left lane.

And in U.S. politics, as in highway driving, I don't care if you want to stay in the right lane, moving backwards as far as I can tell...but stay out of my way and let me move forward. If you don't like the left lane, keep right! Don't try to make all of us drive in your lane. The highway accommodates everyone.

Playing Politics

I think it's funny how politicians are always accusing one another of "playing politics".

If politicians don't politic, then what does "politics" even mean?

Or is "playing" the key word?

In what other profession does one get disparaged by being accused of "playing" one's profession?

Does this even matter? So weird!

American Black Man

It's so hard to be a Black Man in the United States of America.

My friends, you just don't know. You just don't know.
