This is America, right? The greatest nation in the world. In spite of it all, look at the choices we have regarding the next election for President. Is this the best we can do? Are we really getting to choose from among America's brightest and best? If so, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Thankfully, neither side can claim to be any more sane than the other. The R's have Ron Paul and the D's have Dennis 'No Strings' Kucinich. If you read or heard or watched some of these candidates speaking regarding the Bhutto killing in Pakistan, you had to be hoping that everyone listening had their sound muted.
Everything, every word, every ad, every prop...they are all very carefully planned and staged. Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. The one thing that disturbs me most is the media has to constantly "steer we the people" to the right choice, because we aren't smart enough to choose for ourselves.
I hope many of us will keep striving to prove them wrong.
