A nation of sheep.

It amazes me the things people allow themselves to believe. One of the girls I work with is very disillusioned about what power the president actually has. We were talking about food prices and how high costs are then she actually made a comment that implied the president is to blame for high food prices. I laughed because it’s ridiculous to actually think that. She then said that she KNOWS the president is to blame for the high gas prices. She knows! It’s crazy to think that people I otherwise would think are smart would actually think the president sets gas prices. This isn’t China afterall, we live in a free market where companies can set their own prices with out government interference, hence “Free Market.” Many people believe the president has more power than he actually does, they must not understand a little system called “Checks and Balances.” Whether we have a republican or a democrat president the true law makers are those in congress.

Everyone tries to blame the president for anything that goes wrong but that is just pure ignorance. I wish I could make people smart. I wish I could wake people up to their own stupidity. I’m surrounded by sheep who will believe anything the media tells them. Pathetic.
