Wedding Party Politics...
Today the fiance and I are announcing who will be a part of the wedding party and who will sulk over the fact that they aren't going to sit at the head table during the reception and will have to go to the bar by themselves in order to get their free drinks. Just kidding! I'm sure that everybody is happy for us and they are willing to put politics aside and enjoy the happy occasions... Yeah right.
One thing that you will never escape is politics. Why is it that my girl has decided to get a white dress? Politics. Why is it that we're having an extravagant reception instead of a nice intimate gathering of family and close friends? Politics. Why is it that my girl and I are going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a single day? Politics!
Sometimes I think about running off with my girl to the edge of the continent and never having to worry about family politics again. It's not that I don't like my family or hers. Its just that there are so many factors to consider when making a decision that involves other people. I have to take into consideration all the petty pet peeves of everyone. I wish that everybody can be like me and really not give a shit one way or the other, but it's not a perfect world. But imagine if it were...
Cities would be set up in a perfect Feng Shui design. Quantum encryption and biometrics would be employed to completely rid the planet of a cash based money system. Everybody would survive on credits. The communications infrastructure would be brought up to dat to ensure that a mobile work force could still communicate easily and cheaply with family. Petroleum would be outlawed. A truly free market society would be put in place and the government would start to take the role of protecting the environment seriously. Texas would be ceceded from the United States. Karl Rove would be put in prison. Rupert Murdoch would be tried for crimes against humanity. Dr. Phil would have his license to practice withdrawn. The Bush's would have their citizenship revoked. Tom Delay would finally be censured for those dozens of violations that he has been guilty of for the past decade. The Wiggles and TeleTubbies would be rated NC-17 to prevent the perversion of young minds. All victimless crimes would be eliminated. All money used to fight against those crimes would be used for therapy to treat people that suffer from gambling, drug, and sexual addictions. An honest form of checks and balances would be designed and implemented... I could go on and on for hours.
DIGRESSION!
DIGRESSION!
Shut the fuck up Holden!
