“Caught in the Political Whirlwind: The Reluctant Writer’s Dilemma”
My ambition to pursue writing was never to address politics…

…but it’s impossible to get away from it today.
Everything has become political. You can’t address anything or anyone without it getting back to politics. Here is another chance to see if others see it the same way.
Waking up to the news
Many of us still wake up to the news, on TV, Internet, or in Newspapers.
It may be old school, but we like to know what’s happening, in the world. TV news has become a joke, more like a sitcom. Most papers are incredibly biased, one side or the other. The internet is crazy, with much to filter through to know what’s real.
But one thing is for sure it will piss you off.
The more I thought about it, the conclusion, it’s all political. The whole concept of America, with the idea of personal freedom and liberty, has been lost.
It all comes down to one side or the other, telling you how you must think, believe, or behave.
What happens to freedom of thought and expression without someone looking to kill you or at the least lock you up?
