The Government is Horrible

Okay, we've had the elections. George W. Bush is out of office. Barack Obama is now in office. We've elected an entirely Democrat congress, and that's that. Are you ecstatic about all this? Or are you depressed? Do you complain today about the government or have you been complaining for the past 8 years?

How can you honestly complain when you don't have a license to complain? After all, who would take you seriously? If statistics show that you can earn $1-million over your life time simply by having a college degree, doesn't it make sense to have a license to complain?

Of course it does!

Far too many people complain about everything. They complain about life, marriage, relationships, money, kids, health, the weather, politics, religion, and every other thing under the sun! And who listens?

Those grumps and grouches, old coots, codgers and curmudgeons who have the authority to complain are the ones who get heard! And it's so easy to get a license! That's the tragic thing. Long ago, it's true, becoming an authentic curmudgeon was much more difficult.

But in today's world, much like getting a college diploma or being elected to congress, all you have to do is spend a little money. We're not talking about hundred, thousands, or even millions of dollars, either!

The next time you hear yourself starting a sentence with, "Those damn liberals!" or "Those damn conservatives," ask whether or not you have the proper authority to make your case. If not, then you definitely need a license to complain! You need a Certificate of Curmudgeonry from the International Society of Curmudgeons!
