The State of the Union

I just realized that its supposed to be given tonight, and I know that some of my secret fans are wondering if I'm going to write about it. If you're really a fan you probably don't expect me to. Its not that I'm not political. I probably have an opinion about everything under the sun; even stuff I've never heard of before.

I have opinions about the State of the Union, and of course the President of the United States, but with this particular President in these particular times what's the point of expressing them? Suppose you were to get into an a discussion with a vegetarian; a real reactionary vegetarian who believes that everyone should stop eating meat tomorrow. I'm not a dietician or even amateurishly adept in the sciences but my personal opinion is that if everyone stopped eating meat tomorrow tens of millions of people would die, and all the animals that would supposedly be saved by the sacrifice would die anyway because they're not prepared to survive in any natural setting. Without the income from eating them we couldn't afford to keep them alive. I don't know how to discuss/debate or exchange ideas with a person who doesn't see that stark reality. My opinions about our current political landscape are equally entrenched. Apparently there is a majority of people who think the current administration are doing a great job, and the previous administration was abysmal. As far as I'm concerned they might as well be saying rocks make good pudding.

I won't be watching.
