Politics

(Note: It's been a while since I last posted... I promise I will keep up. Grad school, work transition; wah, wah, wah...Now on to the post...)

The American political climate that bombards us once every 4 years is annoying but necessary, at least in some form. In every organization politics (positively stated: social interactions, etc.) are necessary.

I really dislike political maneuvering (read: manipulation). Transparency is so much better.

What would happen if Obama just said, "Look, the health care system of this nation is so messed up I'm not sure anybody can fix it and those who say that can are delusional or they are liars." or what if John McCain said, "Hey, it doesn't matter who you elect, we are going to have to either tax you out the wazoo, stop paying some entitlements, or our infrastructure will soon fail us for lack of attention."

On another front...

We have a District Council coming up (a business meeting where things are discussed and decided, usually according to Roberts Rules of Order). I'll probably not say much because sometimes what I want to say won't help things much anyway. I think a good policy, when possible is just hold my comments for the things that I think will affect eternity and leave as much of the other stuff for someone else to deal with as is possible.

My name is David Delp and I'm not sure I approve this message and I doubt anyone else does either...
