The older I get, the more bad I see. It's a loss of innocence rather than vile bile backing up inside me. I see it in politics, government (not the same thing - at least it's not SUPPOSED to be,) religion, and the corporate world.
I think the older you are, the more you see behind the curtain.
Suspicions are aroused. Scandals are viagra for arousing suspicion. And it's hard to get it down once up.
Locally, the big phone company is trying to get into the cable business. the cable operators don't want anyone to slice their pie. It's back and forth, back and forth, with issue advertising to an intensity that requires an spf 18 or higher if you watch tv or read the paper.
Austin is the State Capital of Texas. I should point that out.
Also that there's been an effort to reduce property taxes (which are mighty high, pardner) and somehow fund schooling properly. The legislators can't get the job done. The session expires. The governor forces them back. They can't get the job done again.
Meanwhile, the cable company puts full page ads in the paper suggesting that the greedy phone company, by virtue (ha - funny word) of the fact that THEIR bill is up for consideration, is draining attention from the plight of the children.
The thread that dangles that logic is thin and transparent.
