I'm fighting a fight without fists in a war without a cause.

The lazy suburbs of Chicago have never looked so pretty, dressed in a coat of snow, gusts of wind causing the stray floating flakes to dance. And yet, today we have been shocked by crazed greed of yet another political mind. I've always been rather fond of the quote "Absolute power, corrupts absolutely."

Isn't it sad that he's the fourth Illinois governor to have been arrested in the lifetime of my middle-aged Enriched Frosh Geometry teacher? I was hoping that with a new change as big as Obama being elected, which I am still ecstatic about anyway, that just maybe, things might start getting better. I know it's just another naive thought of a young teen, of course things aren't just gonna get up and improve, but one can hope right? I mean the economy is so bad, the gas prices are DROPPING. How ironic is that?
