Living The Glugster Life…..

It surprises me that people still believe that politicians can apply common sense.

It surprises me that people think that politicians only care about their personal power and gain.

It surprises me that people think politicians are there for the greater good.

It surprises me that people can be so stupid.

What brought on this post? I’m glad you ask. The other night at work me and a bunch of inDUHviduals got involved in a bit of a discussion about this here country of ours. And once again it just struck me as odd how these inDUHviduals tried to apply logic and the principle of the greater good to the hopeless state our politicians and goverment are in.

Wake up people. Politicians don’t care about the greater good. They don’t care about the masses. The don’t care about the state of the nation. All they care about is how they can gain more power or money from the way things are. They don’t want to stamp out corruption. If they did, they would not be able to be corrupt themselves. They don’t want to effectively fight crime. Why would they? The government is one of the biggest beneficiaries of crime.

And the worst kind of politician? The worst kind of a politician is the one who thinks he or she can make a difference.

And don’t start with the crap about it being so bad because it’s a black government. One thing the current black government has done very well is learn from the previous white government. Things were not better for the country during the apartheid years. The white politicians were not good. They were just as useless and corrupt. They just had more practice at hiding it. People are quick to forget just how unhappy they were with the NP.

Wake up people. This is a beautiful country we live in. Opportunities abound. Just open your eyes and look around. Stop waiting for the government to make things happen for you.

Your future is only as bright as you believe it to be.
