Don't blow a fuse. I think you are a good guy at heart. Yer politics are a little naive; but hell, you live in the states! That's a serious handicap for anyone attempting political awareness. Must be why the US basically owns the planet at will. :-) Ignorance is power? Only if you are holding a gun. Change is in the wind. It didn't have to be, but certain decisions of late are accelerating the process. We shall see how things turn out. The US is now returning to Canada the $3.5 billion illegally taxed during the softwood lumber dispute, after loosing every single international court battle for the last 11 years. The US dollar is falling like a rock against all global currencies because OPEC isn't using the greenback for oil transactions anymore. Lots of stuff the domestic media protects you from being exposed to. The domestic confidence is already starting to weaken. Dubya hasn't helped things much. The 'Great Experiment of Democracy' is failing. For forefathers did not count on the determination the corrupting influences would demonstrate in weakening their ideals. It is unfortunate. Lowest common denominator election process. Almost inevitable, with manipulative mass media psychology. This problem has been expounded upon at great length. The value of personal wealth was overemphasized, I think. Prestige should have been weighted more heavily. Ben Franklin had a lot to say about that. It *will* be interesting to see what happens in Lebanon.

Such as you beg, so shall she grant. Go forth, my Son, and drive no more from the bridges of Chappaquiddick. |
