So now it is now more clear than ever that there is no hope at all among the leading three candidates that any one of them has the courage, the consciousness, or the capacity to lead this country out of its quagmire.

Have you noticed that all this complaining that commentators engage in accomplishes very little? What would accomplish something? There is only one course of action that can make a difference now. If you have a better idea, I'd like to hear it.

How can you wake someone up who lives in a dream world? You can't.
SHARE Sunday, March 30, 2008 No Such Thing as a Spoiler
Since Clinton and Obama both agree that there's no such thing as a "spoiler" it would be fitting, proper, courageous, and right for both of these candidates to defend the right of non-party candidates, such as Ralph Nader and others, to have their voices heard during this campaign.
SHARE Tuesday, March 25, 2008 What's going on with our money?
Large and well endowed economies like the US can choose to make, sell, or engage in any number of activities and do so effectively. But US policy makers have decided to concentrate the country's energies in one specific area, and that strategic focus, while once successful, is leading the country to its inevitable decline and ruin.

This presidential campaign is just a distraction and we all will pay a heavy price for it. Neither Obama nor Clinton are telling the truth bout how it is or how we got here.

If they haven't been doing what you think they should have been doing all along... as citizens and/or as public servants, you can be pretty well sure you will feel the same way 5 years from now.

Our silence and indifference to the plight of others is what allows this kind of thing to happen. You probably won't get a better wake up call than this. No doubt bad public relations will force this kind of evidence into dark corners. The question is, will we wake up, or will we remain silent until something like this happens to someone we know and care about... or maybe to a lot of people we know and care about?

I see that someone is exploring whether or not there is interest in having Ralph Nader run for President in 2008.
I for one am interested in having him run and would support his candidacy. I would do so because I believe that of all the people who have been candidates for President in recent memory he would make the best president.

His contribution and the contribution of all who helped make him what he was-which is to say, all those who marched, boycotted, broke the rules, sat at lunch counters and on buses, got dog bit, hand cuffed, fire hosed, jailed and billy clubbed so that he might have a platform on which to speak-cannot be properly honored with fancy words or platitudes.

Somehow people who are out to fight evil are never at a loss at finding evil in whoever seems to be in their way now, or might be in the future. In that consciousness, the only real way to get rid of evil once and for all will be when the only folks left are The Last Man Standing... and his or her slaves.

SHARE Friday, October 19, 2007 I Can Show You How To Build An Empire
The problem is that these would-be builders of empire have no imagination or finesse. They haven't the sense to look at history and see that what they are doing was already tried before and failed. They repeat the same stupidities like greedy idiot lemmings... Building an Empire might actually be a good idea if, it weren't always being pursued by idiots and fools.
