The elephant in the room
As my readers may have noticed, I have been silent on a lot of issues, including the big two issues facing America today: our upcoming presidential election and the economy. As a economy neophyte, I am still trying to wrap my head around the enormity, scope and meaning of the economic morass that is gripping the world in general and the US in particular. As I figure things out, I will speak on them.
Now, the election is another story. I think my people know that I am supporting Senator Obama in this race. I believe he is more likely to foster the changes needed to right our ship. There has been too little thought and compassion and too much graft and greed in our legislative progress. We have resorted to knee jerk fixes that have questionable efficacy (Patriot Act or the bailout anyone?). If Senator Obama is president, maybe we can correct this. Maybe people of like mind and spirit will get to be in places where they can do some good.
