Hope and Optimism is America.

A week after the stunning victory and America is still alive. There is a lot of anger out there and it's understandable. You should be angry.  What is the most interesting is who is the most angry in America.  I was caught off guard by who took this Democratic loss the hardest.

First off its the foreigners on social media and I say to them #$&@! Y'all.  You don't live in our country and had no idea what our daily lives are and what our issues are.  The same foreigners who want to say America needs to stop being the bully are the same ones consumed by our election.  Hey the winner claims he wants to be inclusive, you should be happy.

My true friends on the losing side were heartbroken but they could see why and how this happened and began to admit there is an issue in America where a whole bunch of people felt left out. Is it not a sign of democracy when the downtrodden can effect the election?  It's should be a positive when the money and influence get defeated.

The angry are the snobs. Snobbery came to light and snobbery lost.  All those people deep in their heart who believe they are better than those who have an opposing view.  Yes you may be a liberal and peace nik but you feel those who are not aligned with you are not your equal as human beings.  The opposing voice makes them angry. They are considered ignorant. It's ignorance because their priority is not yours.  So you have angry white snobs rioting in Portland and such.  Do you notice the cities with the riots are not really inner cities who have issues? These are spoiled kids who can't believe, there are people who don't think like them. Who talked about the system and tradition when their opponent threatened to contest and now they are doing it violently. They don't see the irony.

Angry liberal media snobs. The media in America has for a long time stop representing the people. They are elites busy telling people what they thought instead of covering what the people were thinking. They highlighted one candidates faults while hiding the others thinking the electorate was stupid. They were all wrong on their coverage and predictions because it was based on them and not the people they claim to represent.

Intellectual academia snobs. These are the people who would tell us how destructive one candidate was to the psychology of America while never addresing the past damage already done by the other candidate. These group would continue to find excuses to justify what was wrong and unethical. Discounting the influence of a class which is not interested in their views.

Around me this week there were a lot of sad people at the state of America but the angry ones showed their snobbery. The angry ones can not believe sane reasonable people could vote for the winner.  Since it never occurred to them that anything besides their view is acceptable.  The angry ones are still trying to claim;  the voters who voted have no idea what they voted for, (which could turn out to be true) but they know why they voted as such and they cannot be look down upon.  I voted for Obama and did not get what I expected but I don't remember people looking down at me for voting for change. Voting for an unknown quantity. Biggest regret of my life.

America will survive this as it did the half white spineless one, but hopefully Americans have learned the lesson of over looking the disfranchised. The Democratic party lost poor working people. How?  Because the party and media wanted to be the elite. 

Eight years ago I was heartened with my country because it did what was unexpected. It elected a half white man. Thou I did not endorse this candidate I felt  heartened that America again did what I thought was not possible. It rejected the establishment against all odds. It reaffirms people can change America. Now we the people must start giving ourselves better candidates to represent us.  This hopefully breaks the system. Hope and optimism is America.

What the?!!!

The world is going mad. Look around and we are all in trouble. It's hard not to wonder where the solutions will come from. American president is lost. History will show this president squandered the opportunity to truly changed the world. His silence on issues has created the atmosphere ripe for war. There is no authority left in the voice of the American president.

The Russians continue to act with impunity. Chinese act without conscience and the Europeans leave in denial as the head of America takes a nap.

Syrians and Iranians have died and so will Egyptians and Bahrainis as we wait for our president to take the moral ground. To state what this country believed in for 200+ years. Freedom, equality, and the rights of humanity.

Now after showing the greatness of our system by electing this man, we find the flaw in our system. We allowed emotion to overrule our brains when we chose this person, who has no characteristic to lead.

The saddest part is for the believers. Now we the believers must make the choice again. We must exercise our right every four years and vote. I gave you the chance and the money. Now I am done. Time to allow another to make his mistakes. I had hope for change, now I just want change.

Whats going on?....

"Brother Brother, there are far too many of you dying,
Mother, mother, there are far too many of you crying" Marvin Gaye, "Whats Going On"

Look around us, its mind boggling. I have posted much, because I just can't believe the stuff and after a while it becomes repetitious. The world is at a cross roads. The people and the masses seem to have caught the wind of change. Which is a huge plus for me and people like myself who have wanted to see this for a long time. However the people in charge, governments and leaders are going crazy. It should be expected, since its their world which will be overturned.

China is banning songs; (really America should fear this country), Russia wants the world to talk to Syria ( apparently Syria hasn't killed enough people yet); Taliban keep killing people in the name of Allah ( does Allah know this?); protest are going global, from Israel to India to Nigeria to China. Food, Prices, Jobs, Rights. AND OBAMA PLAYS GOLF!

America is not immune to the craziness. Rick Perry is leading the republicans?!!!!! What the Fuck? My out of this world bet is this homo-phobic, ultra conservative crook is going to turn out to be like HOOVER. Why not? Is anything in this world far fetched anymore?

Luckily for you all, I am still the same. I, who is always growing and learning have learned this week: if you have a lot of money, you can convince the DA in NY state not to give a person you raped their day in court. How do the democrats in NY get off lecturing the world on rights and equality and justice....rape on Strauss-Kahn.

a little Marvin to help us get thru.....

Green and Poor

Are poor people responsible for the climate change? I would argue, No! They were not able to add to the carbon footprint as much as the wealthy and the middle class. Yet we expect them now to change their lives and pay for our lifestyle. All the proposed changes will impact the poor more than the rich.
Those who speak of changing the planet are hypocrites. These are the people who live in huge homes, drive cars all the time, fly, and consume energy and goods at much greater levels than the poor.
Read the blog at liveless.com. I am all for helping save the planet, but the real obvious solution is living less. Are you ready to make the real change?

Is it really change

How do you define change? Its been our running question for the people. It seems obvious now after two weeks Obama thinks change means give a bunch of old timers (clintonites) a second chance. This is what scares us the most. Letting Senator Mitchell represent the US is the big mistake. These people are idiots. There are no polite words to describe George Mitchell and Richard Holbrook other than arrogant, bastards. These men are the elite pompous self serving men and all they will do is try to make themselves look important. I pity the people of the middle east and Afganistan because there is no change coming for them.

Stop the Money!

Here is a unique thought! An idea about CHANGE! In what both candidates call a bad economic situation isn't it time to call for a stop to campaign donations? Have you not gotten enough? Can you not manage with what you have? How can I trust you to run the country if you can't even manage a campaign with the amount you have?

You want change? Stop giving money. I for one give money to the homeless every time Obama asks me to donate $25. Who's changing the world, me or OBAMA?
