Will Things Change?

Well, the election has passed, and we now have a lame duck congress. The President is going to meet with key members of both parties, to talk about how to work together to meet the wishes of the American People.

I must admit to feeling somewhat pessimistic about the two parties suddenly beginning to be son concerned about the will of the people, that they start compromising on issues and actually working together in sincerity to heal our nation's economy. *Sigh* If only they would.

Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps the newly elected members will actually realise that the American public has had enough, and they (especially the Tea Party candidated) will refuse to just meekly vote along party lines, so that they can get the favors needed to help them meet their own agenda. I hope, but fear not. Over my years of being able to vote, I have been inspired and filled with hope many times. But now I am jaded and tired and filled with skepticism. I am no longer a Republican, nor am I a Democrat. I am just a disgruntled citizen. And I harbor a secret fear the we are going to eventually have a revolution in America. Yes, I am talking about anarchy and blood running in the streets. I pray it won't happen, but I fear that it will be so.

Time will tell.
