Major Nuisance: When did life become so complicated?

When did life become so complicated?

Just a personal note today.

So really, when did life become so complicated? It seems the older I get the more complicated life becomes. Perhaps I'm not relying on God enough? In my best Mel Brooks movie line impersonation, "Why am I asking you?". I dunno. I guess I just need to vent a little. If it's not office politics or national politics, it's family politics. Ugh.

When I was younger I thought life was hard. Doing homework every night as a child. Junior high with all the awkwardness of going through puberty, then senior high trying to figure out who I was. Then adulthood arrives as well as kids of your own and then your trying to figure it all out again. Then your children become adults and your parents start needing the same care your children once did. At what point does life become easier? So when does the answer finally arrive?

So I will go on, trying to figure life out and find the answers to lifes questions.

Questions for Politicians running for office

If you have a politician come to your door, ask them the following questions. If they cannot answer them to your satisfaction, then vote for someone else! These questions were created by Joe Soucheray. Columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and talk show host of "Garage Logic". Find it at www.am1500.com. The following are the "Garage Grilling".

Which section of the paper do you read first ? (If they answer the Editorial or Metro section, thank them for their time and move them on to the next house)
Can the Government solve most of our problems ? (If they answer yes, thank them for their time and move them on to the next house)
Have you ever attended the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs ? (If yes, thank them for their time and move them on to the next house)
In thirty words or less, why are you running ?
Do you believe in limiting the growth of Government to the Personal Income Index ?
If you could have dinner with anyone who has ever lived, who would it be ? (Jesus and Ghandi are excluded)
What is the difference between Macro and Micro Economics ?
Other than Karl Marx, Name one economist.
If you have held a public office, how long have you served, and name your five best accomplishments.
In the early 1930s, when Winston Churchill warned Europe about Hitler and the German war machine, people thought that he was crazy. Would you let people think that you were crazy if you believe that you're right ?
Would you take a pay-cut to solve our budget problems ?
Have you ever sued anyone ?
Would you ever euphumize Unemployment Compensation into "reemployment insurance" ?
Will you limit yourself to less than four terms in office, and be willing to sign a public proclamation saying so ?
Please quote one line from the movie Caddyshack. (If they cannot, the movie Stripes is an acceptable alternative.)
