I just heard a version of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" where they replaced "a pistol that shoots" with "a trumpet that shoots."

They politically corrected an already politically correct Christmas song. There will never be enough revisions to keep up with the demands of modern sensibilities.

No surprises are found with this "we need to raise our birth rates" in South Korea. But what really makes me roll my eyes is when one of the women states "we should have policies like those in many European countries to solve this issue."

Oh, the countries that also have a below replacement rate? Yes, that is the solution. And many of those countries only have slightly higher birth rates due to immigrant populations in many ways. So no, that is not the solution.

I vooted too. Yes my individual vote does not matter in the grand scheme of things such as the federal government, but it does matter for more local races and measures. The more local the issue, the more important the vote.

But no one should have voting as their only hope and plan in life. If you are looking for election results to save you, you are already doomed.

I need to remember that Trump winning is not going to truly solve our biggest problems. The United States still has exorbitant debt, too much welfare spending, and an empire they cannot maintain, as well as many other issues. At best we just have more time to prepare for the bad times.
