basta è basta

i have had it with all the negativity an election brings. i praise god every day that i wasn't living during the civil war, or the civil rights movement, because i can't stand to see people (who are supposed to be united) so divided. the news reports, the youtube videos, and the facebook messages make me so sad.
where is people's passion? are people passionate about bettering our country and our lives or are people passionate about degrading others that might disagree with their point of view? what do you suppose our country would look like if we all starting focusing our passions in a positive way? i literally had to stop watching a youtube video last night because the narrator was so angry he made my stomach sick.
a friend overheard someone call sarah palin a ''stupid bitch''. so she retorted ''is she REALLY stupid? she is the govenor of alaska. and why is she a bitch all of a sudden?'' we automatically use coloquial phrases like this to justify our opinions...getting us nowhere. i can't say that i'm not to blame either. but it reminds me how much we all need to release this negativity from our lives. nothing good will evercome from negativity. please remember this when you vote tomorrow. whatever the outcome, our country is going to change. and if you don't like it, you can always move to italy with me. :)
