I remarked at a meeting yesterday that I felt like everything in the world is in stasis until the election is over. But that's just silly. It's just due to the fact that we've been way too fixated on it for weeks now, really months. Plenty of things in the world are still going on:
1. Shitty weather
2. Psychotic financial markets
3. The U.S. (possibly world) recession
4. A new Nickelback release coming soon
5. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
6. Widespread job losses
7. Global warming
My advice to everyone I meet is to keep things in perspective. Don't be so negative! Things could be a lot worse. For example, inflation could be high.
