You have it backwards. I'm not hung up on pointless shit, but instead I just don't give a damn.
All of the crap you just cut and paste has zero fucking bearing on me. As I get older I notice what happens here in my hometown is one hundred times more important to me than what Congress does (or doesn't do). The garbage strike we had last year had the biggest impact of everything.
If you so strongly believe that our government has such problems, do something about it. Run for local government, and work your way up. Maybe in ten years you will be in a place to do something about it. But by that point you will be "one of them" and people will be saying the same exact things about you.
We've had all of these problems before. We had immigration issues for the past fifty years, and every time it's "Much worse" than it was before. Every election we are told "They are going to take our guns away from us". And every year the debit gets higher. Suddenly you wake up and you discover that nothing has really changed at all, we still have a problem with immigration after all of this time, the debt has gone up even more, no one has taken away our fire arms, and then it hits you like a rock - no one is there to pick up your fucking garbage because the city employees are on strike because they don't want to pay an extra five percent for their medical benefits. That's when it hits you - what happens in DC has no effect on you at all.
Benghazi? No effect on my life at all.
IRS scandal? No effect on my life at all.
Obamacare? Little effect on my life.
Immiagration? No effect on my life at all.
NSA spying? No effect on my life at all.
And by the way, yes, I did get a new phone - The Samsung S5. Just another phone at this point, although this weekend I'm ripping out my stereo and putting in a nice GPS unit.
