Dear diary: today I realized how our system of government works. I was thinking about my last 2 posts on the health care debate. I thought, wait a minute, government oversight of industry? What was I thinking? Then tonight I was thumbing through my kid's macroeconomics book and rediscovered Adam Smith. Remember, the guy who talked about the invisible hand, guiding the free enterprise system? Government oversight of industry? These are the two vampires I just accused of sucking the life right out of me. Then today I was reading an article about the supreme court's latest decision. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/us/politics/22scotus.html We don't hear too much about the third leg of democracy and how it affects us. Its no wonder the legal system is such a slow moving machine. It really doesn't affect us much until someone has a problem and the lawyers get involved. Remember those guys? That other group of vampires we love to hate? Yea, them.
Is it really any wonder I take such an interest in psychology? Remember the id, ego, and superego? The primitive brain that regulates my biological functions, my everyday self, and the part that thinks I rule the world. I felt pretty stupid actually. Government oversight of industry. Please.
This blogging thing is pretty fun actually. I wonder if anybody reads this stuff. I'm sure glad I decided not to post my picture or tell where I really live. It could be really embarrassing. I guess if the free speech police start banging on my door I'll know someone was watching afterall. Well, I have to go to work tomorrow.
