It's a MAD MAD world

I've had this song stuck in my head lately...it's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." It's the lyrics that really keep running threw my brain, not really the music, just the words. And if I am not hearing and thinking "where troubles melt like lemon drops" then I am finding myself reciting the lyrics to "Mad World" and I can't help but realize how these two songs represent the world at large today, well society, people, governments, people, business....money, you name it..the whole world or everyone on it or maybe it's just how I see things...my "filter" to use a socio-psychology term.
BUT the truth is that for the majority of the world's inhabitants we do live in a "Mad World" where most us dream of a life "over the rainbow, where our troubles do melt away like lemon drops." I know I do.
For me to say anything else would be a flat out lie, and honestly...I'm sick of the lies. I've had it up to my neck (and higher) with the lies and dishonesty...(Yes POLITICIANS...I'm looking and talking to YOU!)
There was this line in this movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes" where one of the main characters says to a man "Are you a politician or does lying just run in your family?"  Truer words were never more eloquently put.

Soapbox Drama

I like to rant....can you tell? If you have read some of my other posts you would get that about me. But sometimes I think there is a sliver (or maybe a thin slice, slightly more then a sliver) of truth to my rants..at least truth's that are evident to me. I guess we can all have our ranting moments, whether they are Ranting like a Mad Man/Woman, Prophet or merely momentary Soapbox Drama's.
