The good old "U.S. and A" would probably have to rid itself of the bible belt and a good part of the midwest in order to have enough open-minded individuals to listen to concepts that would involve change and progress and evolution.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, I don't think the majority of Americans are ready for a black president or a female president.

Like Rome this Empire has rotted from the inside. <BR/><BR/>Since the pursuit of the almighty dollar is the ultimate goal there is little chance that this Kingdom will survive until the end of days. The corporations have infiltrated every cog in the wheel and the mythology is dying.<BR/><BR/>It is certainly possible that a humanised version of this nation might be reinvented but the rest of the world can sense it, smell it, almost taste it.<BR/><BR/>fathorse,<BR/>HA! American politics does look ridiculous and the current administration is politically corrected colonialism...they waste so much money on the actual process that they could have been using for education or healthcare.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that those involved actually realise how spectacularly stupid it looks to the rest of the world...maybe they don't care?<BR/><BR/>ghosty,<BR/>Obama has rejuvenated the younger generation that the Boomers had outnumbered for four decades...half of America was born since 69 so they are coming of age...cross your fingers but I think that this generation is sufficiently appalled by how much the Boomers sold out.<BR/><BR/>THE michael.<BR/>I understand your frustration and it is true that the sellout is now complete and a new generation must try to make amends.<BR/><BR/>I would also like to add that many of my dear friends who adhere to both of these belief systems are probably hoping that you were referring to Anthony Quinn and Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia...which I personally thought was a brilliant film. <BR/><BR/>Personally I draw an enormous distinction between terrorists disguised as muslims and televangelists posing as christians...but most of those moderate Earthlings, who make up the vast majority of those particular groups, are just ordinary people like you and me who happen to believe something else.<BR/><BR/>rimster,<BR/>Well the whole democratic system is so influenced by the conglomerates and special interest groups from the getgo that this is all window dressing anyway.<BR/><BR/>If Washington continues to putrify like it is someday there just might be another revolution. Save a country ban the lobbyists. It is so much like the fall of Rome that it is scary.<BR/><BR/>In 1900 Britain was the Empire dujour and nobody thought that would disintegrate so quickly.Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-40648706029620336442008-01-07T21:17:00.000-06:002008-01-07T21:17:00.000-06:00Homely Escargots!

Though just a child I recall when Bobby Kennedy was shot because my mother's reaction when she picked the newspaper off the doormat was so extreme. (That said, the first death that really affected me was John Lennon's.) And I'm glad Hillary isn't doing so well, extra X chromosome notwithstanding.

(I'm starting to sound like my son with that "awesome" thing).<BR/><BR/>I think the world would have turned out waaaaaaaaaaaay differently if some of those most brilliant people of our time -- the Kennedy's, Martin Luther King Jr., Pierre Elliott Trudeau -- had not either been assassinated or faded into the woodwork.<BR/><BR/>The bane of the world's existence has been just what you said...the emergence of the religious right, the so-called f*ck'n moral majority, the conservatives, taking over when the hippies and the four dead in Ohio decided to switch rather than fight.<BR/><BR/>If people we don't trust have nukes now, it's only an ironic come-about and they've only been egged on by the Far Right.<BR/><BR/>I have great faith in Obama or at least a belief that people will come to see, under new direction and with a young population that can see much more than we can, the destruction and bad vibes that have been brought to the fore by Dubya and his group of Cronies.<BR/><BR/>We can't get back what we might have had, but hopefully our sons and daughters can see through the B.S. and not take it all like we did.WithinWithouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545398587099834271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-8958173766566877852008-01-07T15:20:00.000-06:002008-01-07T15:20:00.000-06:00Perhaps the educational system in the U.S. of A. i...Perhaps the educational system in the U.S. of A. is mostly to blame.
