Fun Ride

As secondary schools, government offices, and banks close today, I have found myself sitting in the back of a college classroom on this nationally recognized holiday listening to a debate about taxing "junk" food.

The only problem with this is that I can barely hear the speakers up in the front of the classroom because many of them speak very softly with very low voice volume.

From what I can tell, I think the true debate should be more about self-control and less about taxing "junk" food. It made me remember a statement that one of my professors made once, "We live in a quick fix society in which we want quick solutions to fix our difficult problems."

Whether he was correct or not is open to interpretation but he definitely got me thinking. Good job Professor!

Oh well, if I have learned anything from working political campaigns it is that you cannot win every battle. However, you can become better at what you do and, as much as I hate to say this phrase, bolster your resume win or lose.

Even though I absolutely detest doing things just to improve your resume (one should do things because they enjoy it), it has become a necessary evil in our society to have a good one. At least, an organized one.

As I look at mine, I become very tired from all the work and very proud of the activities that I have participated in over the years. Even though it has been strenuous at times, I would not change a thing. From the small university club to the halls of Congress, it has been a fun ride.
