Mid-term Election Blues

The disappointing mid-term election results this week have deepened my depression. I suppose it was our turn to be disappointed. Back in 2008 we were euphoric and then in 2012 the Republicans probably felt crushed. Why can't we come together and get things fixed? I'll tell you why -- selfishness, short-sightedness, money in politics, and above all the importance of being reelected trumping doing what is best for the people. For the sake of my mental health, I need to take the view that in the long-run nothing really matters. After the big asteroid collision, all will be forgotten.
