Writers Block

It seems that no matter how much hooey goes on in my life - and a fair bit of it does - logging on and blabbing about it hasn't been happening. Exceptions being the big stuff, naturally.
I have opinions, who doesn't? Just look around the blogsphere. What's really cool about it is that anybody can do this, anybody can get in here and have their thoughts out for all to see.
But boy, try getting on here and being deep. On purpose...
My last post was 2 months ago. Certainly plenty has been going on(if you accept the fact that I consider working for a living, interacting with my kids/wife/family/friends, and riding plenty), but we all do these things. Yeah there's details. But deep? Nah...
I think it's about being tired, mentally tired.
Daily I see things that bring outrage, whether it's a politicians stupidity, some highly paid athelete/celebrity being caught out as the spoiled ignoramus he is, or some worthless meatsack committing crimes against kids. My blood boils and/or a tear hits my eye in the wake of this info crossing my gray matter. I want to reach through the wires and throttle somebody, usually the perp. And I realize that no matter the size of my feelings, there is so little I can do in the moment to make a difference. Pandora's Box is open and the shit has already hit the fan.
That's when I find myself reaching for the f__kit switch, the same switch that for years was powered by my addiction. Reach for the switch, nothing can be done, huddle back in the corner and bite when somebody gets too close.
The hell with that.
I won't allow myself that "luxury". My spirit demands that I do something, anything. Over time I have learned that(and I know these fall under the "Well, DUH..." factor. Bear with me here):
1) If enough people are loud enough about what they want, even the most stubborn politician will change direction. Witness the "comprehensive immigration reform" situation. Does anyone here doubt that this can be applied to all things political?
2) Remove incentives for "bad" behavior, and the amount of that behavior is reduced. Here in AZ a law will be taking effect as of '08 that requires employers to verify their employees' identity information. An article in the AZ Republic(Repugnant, as it's known at my house) notes that some illegals are already leaving for either home or states that seem friendlier.
3) People who advocate socialist policies are, for the most part, NOT interested in the public good. Two words, although many more could fit: Hillary. Clinton.
4) The only way we will fall victim to the crap that besets us today is if we sit back in our corners and DO NOTHING/SAY NOTHING. Therefore, I push aside my writers block... for now, at least. =)
I'm glad to be suckin' air today. Time to go find a couple of my bros and ride.
