Rambling

So I have been in a bit of a writers block lately. It has been difficult. It seems like the only thing that could even peruse me to write is a little Duke Ellington before dinner. My Sociological Imagination (mentioned in first posted article) has been closing down on me for unknown reasons. It was as if I was frightened by these real encounters I was finally perceiving. In my life of sheltered boarding school living, and parents house dwelling, I had not experienced that much which was real. It has been difficult to see these vast market drop offs in the economy. Business' can no longer make enough money to survive and it hurts our morale as a society. Finally grasping the damage that our country is doing to the world made me realize how much each person needs to actively participate, in an effort to change habits of frugal spending, and over anxiousness to enter into cost inefficient wars and other sorts of skirmishes.

How can I make a difference in society? How are we as individuals supposed to know where to put our energy to make a difference? I have been told that my help is needed, but no one has forced me like my mother to participate. This election is going to be very interesting. The ramifications of either nominee are going to be huge. Obama with his Idealist perspectives to slow down the decision making (which might be a good thing) in this country, and McCain with his Realist processing skills. If McCain does slip into the white house the backlash could potentially be scary.

Well enough rambling. I will open my Sociological Eye to the world soon enough. I hope to come back writing. Good night to all.
