The world we live in sure is tough sometimes. The country we live in is not really as tough as the world., though many would have you believe that the rest of the world is much better than the good old US of A. Our elected officials take us for granted and then blame us for their problems. When I say politicians I mean Republican and Democrat and any member of the many minor third parties out there. The key for everyone to remember is that you cannot trust a politician, ANY politician.
The thing that really burns me up are people who use their postions of authority, influence or governance of any degree to mold the minds of the uninformed into the mindless non-thinkers that many in this country, state and municipality have become. Tallahassee, being the capitol of Florida is home to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. We are home to massive state, county and city employment, two major universities and a community college. Besides public service and public education, we are home to a thriving private business community, a popular and growing arts community, on top of all that we are 35-70 miles away from the beach depending on the quality of beach you seek.
We also have many problems and issues that should be addressed, that’s where I come in. You can call me TallyMuck and you have stumbled upon my blog The Tallahassee Muckraker. Now I know what you are saying, “great another blowhard who is pissed at the world and needs to vent”. Well I’m not pissed at the world and sometimes I’m the biggest blowhard you will ever meet and yes I need to vent about it, yet what I vent about may just be of interest to some of the one or two people who might stumble upon my humble blog. If you do make it here consider yourself fortunate.
I will probably touch on all sorts of things here politics, education, culture and even the fact that I survived acid rain.
If you choose to peruse, welcome. If you choose to turn your nose up and runaway screaming, have fun!
** If you have ever spent anytime in Tallahassee, you may have heard the awesome rumor that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith went to high school at Leon, Lincoln or Rickards ( hence the “take me back to South Tallahassee” line from their musical composition “The Last Child”) Well he didn’t but it was fun to think he did!
