So Where's We At?

So the buzz is Hillary's out, short of some miracle. Of her, all I'll say is that in her campaign I saw somebody who was spewing out a lot of nonsense (along the lines of what this article was about) and desperately using every resource at her disposal like that insulting and manipulative ad about who will pick up the White House phone at 3.00am. Although a lot of people will deeply hate her losing the race, it's time to put an eye on the prize.

Our country is in debt. It is at war. We need jobs and not of the service variety. We need universal health care, if only to weed out the middle men and change the bottom line from money to the wellbeing of the entire populace. We need to reestablish credibility, at home and abroad.

Of a higher scale, US energy policy has us in a stranglehold. Our way of life and our infrastructure outpaces world supplies of energy. Competition for that energy is fierce and its dwindling. For growth, things expand and accelerate, yet unless we plan on burning ourselves out foolishly, we need to innovate new methods of extracting energy while enforcing energy mangement policies as soon as possible. And related to that, environmental threats are on the horizon and must be met with all the intelligence, ingenuity, and strength of character our people can muster if we are serious about our longterm welfare.

Only somebody who is insane or courageous or ignorant would want to seriously shoulder the greatest part of these burdens.

Although this election is important, the reality is that whoever wins will be engaged in a battle against high expectations and will struggle in gaining the leverage, in congress or abroad, to create some of the changes we need. Mr. Obama has during his campaign has called for idealism and change. His words sound superficial to me but he will need great reserves of those things if there is even a slight chance of him manifesting his speech into reality. We should not be surprised if by the end of this campaign, let alone his presidency, if he becomes a creature a little more hardened, alittle bit wiser but darker. He's going to be much older before this is through.

Hilary to take on Opec?

Just shows how desperate people are in desperate conditions. From escaping sniper fires to sanctioning war in Iraq and now taking on the might of Opec is a sign of a drowning person clinging on to straws. Talk is cheap. I can see how a person who was continuosly cheated upon by her own husband now wants to cheat others! She is learning from her experienced husband. Two for the price of one!

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand

Every voter has got to read Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand had it right and this nation needs to wake up to the lawlessness of the Bush Administration and the continuation of lawlessness under a Clinton Administration (TriLateral Commission of the Americas/Bilderbergs of Europe - Google it)
