2012 and the End of the World

OK, I’ve been thinking, yes it happens from time to time. Anyway, if this is the year the world ends we have really screwed up and missed a huge opportunity. Why, oh why, are we holding elections?

We could have done away will all the debates, political ads, party politics and extremist emails. No Obama said this, Romney said that, and the analyst’s take on it all. No more cares about the state of world banking, or what China is doing. Pack up all the troops, all over the world, and bring them home to their families. No more talk about budgets or taxes. Put it all away because it’s not going to matter anyway.

So basically if the world is ending, what are all these newly elected people going to do? Why are we fighting over the national healthcare program, or the immigration policy, or who says what about whom?

Instead, we could take all the money being given to super pacs and have a great party! Let’s just chill, make a few margaritas, fill the wading pool, listen to the birds sing, and enjoy the sunsets. In the end, (pun intended) even if the world doesn’t cease to exist, this is probably the tack to take anyway. We’d all be a lot more happy.
