The fact that it is enjoying some success and a new, democratic nation may emerge, is a mitigating factor at this point. <BR/><BR/>We have had a significant failure of leadership from both parties. We are being asked to choose between two candidates, one of whom has a very thin resume and the other who subscribes to some very bad ideas about the environment and the economy.<BR/><BR/>Not a good time to be a voter, but vote we must.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-57192051617832845582008-07-04T13:33:00.000-07:002008-07-04T13:33:00.000-07:00I read a proverb that went something like "If you...I read a proverb that went something like <BR/><BR/>"If you give a fool a million dollars they will loose it in a day, but if you give a wise person a simple axe they will set them selves up for life."<BR/><BR/>It amazes me how the founding fathers could carve something great with nothing, but those of us who inherited millions are loosing it hand over fist.<BR/><BR/>I think the difference between wise and foolish is in Utopianism.<BR/><BR/>A wise person knows life basically is not fair and so tries to survive as best he/ she can. A fool thinks he can change this nature, and waste billions trying to do it.<BR/><BR/>You also know that conservitives make money, and sponsors pay big bucks to have adds on conservitive programing. Liberals simply have to begg for their money, and beg for more money to keep there message going.<BR/><BR/>This is what gives me hope that eventually they will go out of business; hopefully they will not wreck the country before doing so.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998597007732584956noreply@blogger.com
