If I Were President

American Flag

I believe American’s would be more content if I made certain changes:

  • Pass a law that incumbent President’s are forbidden to campaign. They already have the job and the best way to keep it is for them to concentrate on the job instead of running about the country smoozing voters.
  • Less power to political parties, insurance companies, and huge corporations. ‘We the People’ should have a bigger say than they do.
  • Stop taking common sense and putting it into law. We waste so many resources trying to force people to wear helmets, buckle seat belts and stay off the phone. And that’s only DMV laws.
  • Could someone tell me why our federal and state government gets involved with issues like same-sex marriage?  Will these kind of issues ever be solved? I think not.
  • Make the IRS less ridiculous. Fire the idiot that writes the booklets and hire someone who speaks (and writes) proper English. [If the idiot were computer software, he would fry the system with the infinite loops he writes. His twin brother probably writes the DMV’s written tests.]

There are many more things I would change, but I must get some sleep now.

Ranting for Health

Topic #98: Write a rant about the pointlessness of ranting.

WHAT???

Sorry, but ranting not only HAS A POINT, but it’s good for you. [Scott’s turn to say WHAT???  here]  I’m not talking about bitching or whining, which are often pointless, but the true & righteous ranting that comes from your soul.

Ranting is not for wishy-washy types. Rants are passionate expressions of the ranter’s response to frustration, anger, adversity, fear, jealousies – caused by something or someone else.  We don’t rant about positive emotions, we “proclaim” and “announce” those things. Rants are about the darker side of life. Not that a good rant is depressing. Often the best rants are humorous ones because most of us can relate to them.

Dennis Miller makes ranting an art form

How are rants healthy? They benefit both the ranter and the rantee. The ranter vents off steam, decreasing stress.  By listening and relating, the rantee is a participant – a co-ranter, if you will. They rant vicariously and laugh at the things that annoy them. This causes those happy endorphins to appear.

Everyone knows that Laughter is the Best Medicine. So rant away! Rant to your friends, your family, readers of your blog. Go ahead – make someones day.  🙂
