The National Day Of Prayer
There is great sanctity in prayer
How we do it and where
Ecumenical services are more for men
National Committees choosing when
Assembly is appropriate for public display
To give an elusion they communally pray
I believe when we pray we must bare our soul
Open our heart to God and give Him the control
No interruption or distraction we should deliberately make
And so cameras and mics can make prayer fake
Lots of my friends differ with me
Don’t see the harm in praying publicly
And with the technology to spread prayer far and wide
You’re being sanctimonious if in prayer you hide
Once I bare my soul, the greatest essence of me
Focus on my Lord to pray earnestly
People should understand the emotions I feel
Reverence beyond description as I bend and kneel
And understand I would sooner walk naked through the street
Yes naked, before I pray with cameras set at my feet
Ecumenical services for the people but don’t mock the Lord
Refusing cameras by President Obama, I’m in full concord
Beaurocracies have a way of moving and swaying with legislation and the tide of public opinion, but this could turn out to be a good thing! Especially if we could plug up the huge vacuums of common sense in our nation's flood of money to questionably disabled individuals in our country.
We are so interested in being Politically Correct in paying out millions every year to questionably "disabled" folk, including children, that Disability may be part of our economic problems. The fiscal drain is but a sign of some very strange tendencies, for us to care more about how our government "appears" to be taking care of individuals, while letting our economic infrastruture crumble about us.
This runs concurrently with lack of health care to so many Americans, including those on Disability. By making the drastic transition to the wonderfully efficient and actually healthy National Healthcare system that's modelled by Great Britain and Europe for starters, but finding the application that would work best for our country, we could surely solve 2 problems, ie.bad healthcare and an enabling system of Disability, in 1 fellow swoop.
"I occassionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world and yet I ask you: Is not a alien force already among us?" President Ronald Reagan
"The Third World War has already started. It is a silent war, Not, for that reason, any less sinister. The War, is tearing down America, Latin America, Brazil and practically all the Third World. Instead of Soldiers loosing their lives, Civilians are loosing their jobs, their homes and their money. It is a war over debt and one which has its main weapon, INTEREST, a weapon more deadly than a laser beam, more shattering than the Atom Bomb! This weapon, if it is not curtailed in its infancy will perpetuate until Future generations will wage war against indefinitely. Counter-measures must be established immediately so this minion of a virus does not become an unstoppable juggernaut."
If you doubt this statement or believe its some far-fetched idea, examine how Wallstreet, GM and select banks failed and were bailed out by the Treasury Department as the Federal Reserve stood helplessly aside as these banks and lending institutions were purchased by larger banks? Why didn't the Federal Reserve bail out its greatest ally Wallstreet? How could it stand quietly by when failing banks NEEDED their 'Reserve' funding? The answer . . . Big fish eat small fish and with that in mind, remember what President Thomas Jefferson once said "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Is this idea being manipulated and realized through the use of interest?
Economics have been deliberately neglected throughout our education system, particularly among the public education system and many institutions of higher learning also avoid teaching Monetary Theory. Educating the masses about Money and the Banking system is extremely important and can be helpful for many people that are purchasing high priced products, starting their own businesses and planning the future for themselves and their families. The world awaits a new leader in Washington. A leader that will be the active representative of the people of America through a Global perspective. The decisions our new President will bring and the causes he will support & impliment will be closely scrutinized by other Countries and Nations. The reactions of the people will also be viewed and publicized globally.
The way we address and support the Nation of Isreal will be crucial because OPEC nations will be watching particularly close and will deal with us based on how we relate with them. Therefore, the American People must be resolute and have a primary, collective view of Israel as well for us to better support our President's decisions.
Q: What is the PRIME cause of debt?A: Interest & Usury laws
Q: Why do governments need to borrow money when it can create interest free money itself?A: Banking system is creating digital money out of thin air from loans.
Q: How can we create money that circulates permanently, so it doesn't have to be paid back with interest?A: By increasing the value of the item money is being spent on, so that interest is reversed onto the borrowers favor.
Q: Is there currently a way to build a sustainable economy today?A: By discarding the application of Usury and the laws that banks currently use to offset the balance through interest.
Q: HOW CAN WE REPAIR THE NATIONAL BUDGET/DEBT?
To accomplish this goal we must duplicate & employ methods and measures that have worked in the past under similar circumstances.
In 1694, International Banker William Patterson obtained the Charter for the Bank of England when he proposed raising the 1.25 Million Pounds to be lent to the British government. Only 750,000 pounds was received and the newly formed Bank of England began lending money to the government shorly afterwards.
They secured the debt by direct taxation of the people.The government had no fixed period to repay the loan and interest would be paid in perpetuity. Patterson & the government agreed that "The Bank has benefit of interest on all loans". This was the big mistake England would later regret and many countries fell into this same trap. England then bagan financing and repaying War debts and also Borrowing more money again and again.
At first the Colonies avoided this trap by using Colonial Script (a totally Fiat currency) and exchange worked reasonably well until this same principle was applied.
Today. . . . With the advent of the mybarackobama.com donation accounts currently being used for fundraising, the general Public has access to finance the election of the President; the next step would be to provide for Public Works and Means.
If the funding for these multiple accounts were combined into One PRIME account (Universal Citizen's Dividend), OR, if a small of each account was continually added to a SINGLE account that could still be monitored by everyone, Government spending could become better controlled and waste could be prevented, likewise, the People could regulate where the needs would be best applied. Communities could increase "their" VALUE by adding more to their local committees or programs as these funds are directed towards that means.Taxes Federal & State, Social Security, Treasury, Donations, etc., if monitored properly would reduce frivilous spending. The people would be more incline to pay or donate because they would receive the BENEFITS. Perpetual Debt would be converted to sustainable income to maintain a functional society and the rate of forclosure would be lowered. This would also assist with the failing Social Security system and the Treasury would control the amount of money in circulation while the Federal Reserve notes are being replaced with Treasury items (Notes, Bills, Bonds, Etc.).
I would welcome any suggestions you have of possibilities that may fill in any gaps with this theory, after all, The more Great Minds are working together, the better the outcome.
Together, we can make change happen.
Thank you for your support!
I've been online reading blogs for years, yet this is my first. I am so inspired by President Obama and Family that I can't keep quiet any longer. I've honestly been given hope, inspiration and change. THANK YOU!
To Whom It May Concern:
For years i've been on my way back to school to futher my career. I've had plenty to say that was meaningful and from the bottom of my heart. Afraid to walk in the shoes of the person I truely want to be... the person I am. Haven't embraced the extremely artistic portion of myself... my passion. Its crazy how i've taken so much from myself, and pretended not to be as intellectual, and beautiful as I am inside and out. I thought to myself that I didnt want to be intimidating. Didn't say it if I thought it would hurt your feelings. It's fine... I am ok with who and where I am.
What the ____! What really have I been thinking...
It is no longer about getting Barack Obama into the White House. Baring the outbreak of WW III or some other kind of unforeseen disaster, he is already there. During one of his recent rallies, Senator Obama invoked these words: “CHANGE the country” and “CHANGE the world.”
Getting Senator Obama into the White House is not the end of a process; it’s the beginning of a process. Keeping him in the White House will be the hard part. Prudence dictates that we should never underestimate the will of the forces which are arrayed against him/us.
In the beginning, Senator Obama talked a lot about “Old Politics” or “Old Thought” – which is essentially the same thing. Our messages have been about “New Thought” and saving the Planet. Obama has often said that he can’t do it alone and neither can we. We need your help.
This is a sampling of what some of you had to say about our messages:
Why do we impart/promulgate our “New Thought” messages? Actually, I like Michelle Obama’s answer. She said, “It’s my job.” Some people are genuine truth seekers, not a lot but some. Mohandas K. Gandhi said, “If you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”
And here we have our quandary, what to do now? It is time to evolve to the next level. We are dedicated to keeping the “Obama Movement” alive for 100 years, if necessary, and we need your input.

New thought is our only chance, The GSV Team-------------------------------------------------------"We can either fear that human culture is falling apart or we can hold the vision that we are awakening. Either way, each of us must consciously choose between these two futures.” (James Redfield) -------------------------------------------------------http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/GLOBALSYMBOLICVOTESFOROBAMAhttp://www.global-symbolic-votes.org
In the best selling book CONVERSATONS WITH GOD, God said to the author, Neale Donald Walsch, something like this: “The world is full of sleep-walkers….to get people to wake up you sometimes have to shake them.” Been there; done that.
Obama has said that he can’t do it alone. He said, “I need your help.” We are all trying to help. But, far too often, my words tend to frighten the sleep-walkers who refuse to wake up. They obviously love the pain, the drama and the not knowing. The truth is hard to swallow.
I support Senator Obama 100%. The only difference between others and me is that I know this and they do not. When faced with new ideas, some engage the issues and others elect to run and hide. To keep FEAR out of the equation it is best to engage issues.
Most people tend to participate in politics unconsciously. They do this because it is easier to let others decide for them -- the experts, the pundits, the negative TV ads and things of this nature. When it comes to politics, most of us don’t even know what we are doing.
Addressing all humans, God said to Neale, “Go ahead. Act on all that you know. But notice that you have been doing this since time began and look at what shape the world is in. Clearly you’ve missed something.” Those who love their pain have not missed a thing.
Most of us have no idea of what we are going to have to deal with after the election is over. What is the famous quote? “Know thine enemy.” (Shakespeare, I think) Even Barack Obama has no idea. He is but a man and therefore subject to the laws of the universe.
Barack Obama has said many, many times, “It’s not about me; it’s about you. This is the other thing that most of us simply will not hear. It’s not about the man; it’s about what the man/movement represents. It’s about the message not the messenger.
Senator Obama should not respond directly to the attacks levied by John McCain’s attack dog/walking reality show Sarah Palin. That would be undignified, a big mistake. Mohandas K. Gandhi said that they cannot take away my dignity unless I give it to them. Let Joe Biden, the Obama Team members and the surrogates respond to her attacks. The other side is desperate and their three dimensional thinkers can still hurt the campaign and possibly even turn things around -- especially if we follow their game plan. To thwart their attack initiatives, we will have to change the rules of the game and we are running out of time.
John McCain and Sarah Palin seem to be stuck on two themes: “The Surge” and “Change is Coming.” It is clear that John McCain hi-jacked the “Change” concept from Barack Obama. In my blog MCCAIN’S MISTAKES, I touched upon the inherent fallacies pertaining to the so called "Surge." Apparently, John McCain actually believes that he can support Bush’s lies, tricks and games and continue duping voters with impunity. Some have asked how is this even possible. I do not know. Nonetheless, he’s a viable Presidential Candidate. The question is what’s wrong with this picture?
I am told that Plato said: “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” Almost right. I believe that Plato is telling us that this is the penalty that one pays for participating in an Aristotelian based political thought system -- better known as Democracy.”
During the debate, Senator Obama implied that Russia and China are not true Democracies. If not, the question becomes what are they? I do not know. Perhaps we should take a closer look at Premier Wen Jiabao’s China -- with a population of 1.3 billion people. Apparently, Premier Jiabao has elected to take his country in a different direction.
In doing so, he will inevitably change the course of history and there is nothing that we Americans can do about it. If we can’t change the ultimate outcome, what can we do in the interim? We can help Senator Obama win the election. Then we might have a chance to get it right. As JFK said, “We all breathe the same air and we all cherish our children’s future.”
The political thought system that we call Democracy was born in Greece around 500 B.C. It is based on Aristotle’s political philosophy as outlined in his book POLITICS. Incidentally, in Aristotle’s POLITICS he ranked women one notch above slaves. Hence, women can thank Aristotle for creating the equal work/equal pay issue.
Am I saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing? Neither. I am making no value judgments at all. Good and bad are relative terms, subjective terms. I am simply stating facts and telling it like it is. However, I will say this: Since it is clear that we Americans seems to enjoy being governed by our inferiors, all that we have to do now is vote for more of the same -- John McCain.
New thought is our only chance,The GSV Team-------------------------------------------------------"We can either fear that human culture is falling apart or we can hold the vision that we are awakening.

Let’s assume for a moment that “The Surge” did work. This gives rise to the next logical question, but at what initial cost? If a person spills milk on the floor and then wipes it up, that person corrected a mistake. The problem here is that we are not talking about spilled milk. We are talking about spilled American blood and lost American lives and treasure.
Should the erratic McCain hit the "Panic Button" intentionally or un-intentionally we are all just as dead. (1) How do we bring back over 4,000 lives or make the injuries of the 30,000 plus soldiers disappear? (2) How do we get back the 10 billion plus missing tax dollars that disappeared in Iraq? (3) How do we recover the 600-700 billion dollars that we have already spent in Iraq?
We make mistakes because this is what human beings do best. Am I saying that all human beings are by nature flawed? No. I am saying that most human minds are by nature flawed. So what do we do now, get a lobotomy? No. We learn how to think correctly. Most of us probably think that we already know how to think correctly. No problem.
Then we should go ahead and act on all that we know. But notice that we have been doing this since time began and look at what shape the world is in. Clearly, we’ve missed something.
Shortly, about 10% of the American electorate will decide who will become the next U.S. President. These people will play a major role in deciding the fate and destiny of the entire Planet. America assumes that it is the world’s undisputed military super-power, the world’s leading economic power and that it has the best type of government period -- Democracy.
Now let’s separate fact from fiction and the de jure from the de facto. Is America really the only military super-power in the world? I do not know. The Russians still have enough nuclear warheads on their Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles to make this a moot point. Secondly, the Chinese are destined to become the leading economic power in the World. It’s inevitable.
But let’s get to the heart of the matter, Democracy. So who are these people, the 10% of the American electorate? What kind of minds do they have? I do not know. Let’s not ask them about the Bush Doctrine. We could ask them a simple question like where is Alaska situated. To the best of my knowledge, we are not necessarily talking about America’s intellectually elite.
We are talking about the so called undecided voters. If I understand the demographic parameters correctly, this 10% represents the least educated white working classes, blue collar men and women -- and probably predominantly white women. Would these people be inclined to vote for a black Harvard educated law school professor with a funny name?
The Planet is in Peril and America is in demise. It is no longer about America. Ethnocentrism died with the introduction of the Information Super Highway and Globalization. Today, it is about the Planet, of which roughly 75% of the world’s population is for Obama -- 10% verses 75%. What am I missing? Logic suggests that there is something wrong with this picture?
There is a saying: “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” What do we do if it is broken? We fix it. How do we fix a broken Democracy? That’s easy. We don’t tear down the whole house. We replace one brick (one legislator) at a time. So once we fix the broken government and get rid of the liars, what do we do next? We fix the broken minds that put the liars in office.
New thought is our only chance. The GSV Team-------------------------------------------------------"We can either fear that human culture is falling apart or we can hold the vision that we are awakening.

Give Obama a break. Senator Obama has delayed responding to the so called Wall Street Meltdown and/or the Economic Crisis, probably because it is only prudent and proper to get the facts straight prior to jumping to false conclusions. As always, Barack Obama seeks to get it right the first time. He does this because he suffers from a congenital disorder that causes him think before he acts. This psychological affliction -- that could also be in the genes -- causes him to engage his brain before engaging his mouth.
John F. Kennedy also suffered from this kind of malady. During the Cuban Missile Crisis virtually all of his generals urged him to take swift, strong and decisive military action. At the end of the meeting that could have started WW III, the generals left the room and they all immediately looked at each other in absolute astonishment. One of them said, “What in the hell happened in there?” To their amazement, JFK did not make a decision. Instead, he remained focused on the objective. His objective was to save the country and the world. Does this sound familiar; does it resonate?
Now let’s examine John McCain’s intellect, or lack thereof. Responding to the Meltdown Crisis, at first he said that we should not bail out the banking institutions. He then flip-flopped on this issue and on many other issues. He obviously subscribes to the: “Act first and think later philosophy.” You know, the kind of thinking that could get us all killed. When it comes to the nuclear “Hot Button” one does not get a second chance to correct mistakes or set up a commission to study why we are all dead.
What about Sarah Palin? The Planet is in peril and she believes that Global Warming is a fantasy and that we should continue raping the environment. With respect to the position that she has already taken on these issues, clearly she is not opposed to killing people slowly. If she enjoys killing wolves, bears and God knows what other forms of wild life from helicopters, just think about what she could do with a B-2 Bomber. Who said that Americans are not suicidal? Are we talking about all Americans or roughly half of them? I don’t know. Has Obama killed any innocent life forms for fun lately?
So what do we do now? We tell the American people, specifically those who claim to be undecided, that now, it is all in their hands. To increase humanity’s chances of surviving the insanity that Bush has created, it would be in our interest if the next American President possessed a superior mind. God knows that he will need one in order to successfully navigate through the treacherous, muddy waters (the cesspool) that he will inherit from the Bush Administration. In short, just hold your nose and vote for the smart black guy from Harvard. You might live longer.
People we have reached the 40 day mark before CHANGE becomes a reality. 40 represents the time for delivery, and deliverance. The One who truly counts in this whole situatiion is God, who made it clear in His Word in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal the land."
I am sure, we are all in agreement that this country, this land needs healing in every area. It is time to evoke the One who appoints leaders. So I am asking, for the sake of this country, for everyone to pray. Pray fervently everyday for the next 40 days. make it your business when you rise up in the morning to send a prayer forth for this country, for Obama/Biden, and for the people of this country. This is a good time for families to come together and pray for our nation. Prayer changes things, and if we are to trust anyone, lets trust God, who said, "His word would not return void, that it would accomplish whatever it is set to do."

Today's DevotionalPrayer and Thanksgiving
"At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites from all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem so that they might celebrate the dedication with gladness, with hymns of thanksgiving and with songs to the accompaniment of cymbals, harps and lyres." - Nehemiah 12:27 NASB
On this day in 1789, the Congress of the United States called on President George Washington to proclaim a national day of prayer and thanksgiving. The leaders of the young country realized they had a mountain of problems, and many observers around the world doubted the nation could survive. But these leaders also could look back and see how God had helped them in the past. Whenever they had called upon Him, He had answered their prayers.
Congress requested that "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer" be held, when they could observe "by acknowledging, with grateful hearts, the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a Constitution of government for their safety and happiness." Washington agreed, and proclaimed a special day, which was celebrated that November.
The young American democracy was following a tradition that began in ancient Israel, as with the dedication assembly during the time of Nehemiah. These were times of celebration, thanksgiving, and remembering all that God had done. But they also were times of prayer when they could call on God, humble themselves, acknowledge their need of His help, and seek His face.
Today, people in every nation need this kind of prayer. But you don't have to wait for a special declaration to be thankful or pray for your country. Dedicate yourself to intercession, right now. Pray for your leaders. Pray for elections. Get involved. Vote. Don't be silent, but speak out for Biblical principles. Make sure that you are living a life of righteousness. And pray for revival!

Today's PrayerFather, thank You for all You've done for me and for my country. I am so grateful for your mercy and blessings. Forgive our sins. Bring a return to righteousness. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Now that we have the law makers where we want them, all that we have to do now is order them to do exactly what we tell them to do, or else. We should tell them to return all of the bribes that they have taken from special interests groups. We should tell them that from this point on, they work for us, as the authors of the United States Constitution intended. If they fail to follow our orders, we simply kick the bums out.
Do we replace them with another Republican or Democrat? No. We replace them with a humanist. A humanist is a decent, moral human being who may or may not be affiliated with a political party. What guidelines should we use? Definitely not religious guidelines. He or she should be, in nature, as much like M.K. Gandhi as possible. Words like Republicans or Democrats are just that, words/labels that have no real meaning. On the other hand, Republicans and Democrats are the creators of the reality that we are now experiencing -- A Planet that is in Peril and a future that is in jeopardy.
They are the guilty ones. To be fair we are all guilty, or slightly masochistic, because we helped them abuse us. So what do we do now? We point put our index finger between our eyes and accept responsibility for being less than smart. Think of it as going to confession. Everyone runs around crying and complaining and going through the motions and nothing changes. Nothing will change until we stop the lies, tricks and games. We can stop this now.
Obama is the man. He tells us that he wants to change things. We are just going to have to trust him because, at the moment, there is no other viable alternative. Some people have told me that they are willing to give their lives for this man. Not me. However, I am willing to give my life for what I believe that this man represents. He tells us that he wants to change things. Me too. I want to save a Planet that is in Peril and a future that is in jeopardy -- and humankind while I am at it.
The truth is the most valuable virtue that we have but "TRUTH" is dead. “Oh what a deadly web we weave when we practice to deceive.” (Shakespeare, I think?) Some people have told me that I am not going to win any friends talking like this. Demented minds are destroying our country, our world and our children’s future. With friends like these, who needs enemies? That’s just my opinion. Mohandas K. Gandhi said, “If you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”
Long after getting the leaders of their sleeper cell (Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld) into the White House, the Republicans are continuing with their feeding frenzy. Using fear as a weapon, they have been able to exploit the weaknesses in the minds of many Americans -- call it the supreme mind f - - k, if you will. The undeniable fact is that George W. Bush and his followers, like John McCain, are directly responsible for the senseless loss of tens of thousands of lives in Iraq.
Using fear as a weapon, they have so far been successful convincing those of us with weak minds, or no brains, that Global Warming is an illusion and that it would be in our mutual interest to drill offshore and further exploit the environment. They have been busy murdering our soldiers, destroying our minds and raping the environment. Now they want economic Carte Blanche to exploit our pocket books and finish destroying America. To date, they are on the verge of doing just that -- accomplishing their mission.
So what do you call a political philosophy that gives rise to such insanity? Would it be unfair to call it pure, unadulterated Evil? Mohandas K. Gandhi said, “Non-cooperation with evil is a moral duty.” Since moving into the White House, George W. Bush and company have been killing, raping, exploiting and plundering with impunity. John McCain cooperated with, and voted with, George W. Bush nearly 95% of the time. This is not guilt by association. This is guilt by deed; it’s manifesting evil.
Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King preached a philosophy of non-cooperation with Evil. So, do we reach out to the other side of the aisle, to the Republicans and cooperate with them? No. Barack Obama and the other politicians have to play this game but we do not. What do we do? It’s simple. We replace the extremist legislators with humanistic legislators. It is more efficient. This way we do not have to reach across the aisle.
How do we accomplish this? First, we start educating the so called “undecided” voters, in the trenches of the "Battle Ground" states. They are not undecided they are just confused. Our job is to un-confuse them. We have six weeks.
In the eyes of the World Barack Obama has already won the election -- hands down. Actually, this statement is axiomatic in nature. It is not necessarily a truism. I have heard that roughly 70% to 80% of the global population would like to see Obama win the election. If this statement is deemed to be reasonably true, then why isn’t Obama further ahead in the polls?
Is racism playing a role here? Are we Americans inflicted with some type of unknown psychological genetic disorder? Are we inherently less intelligent than the global population in general? Are we masochistic and delusional in nature? Bill Clinton and the Democrats gave us prosperity and a balanced budget -- including a surplus. Do we want more of the same? No.
We Americans love our pain. We love the drama. We love the not knowing. That’s why we are here, doing exactly the same thing that we did when both Al Gore and John Kerry ran for President. Since it is clear that we love and need our pain, does this mean that we are stupid? No. It simply means that 70% to 80% of the global population for Obama is not masochistic.
John McCain has been trying to hijack Barack Obama’s Change concept and he may have succeeded. In addition, he has stolen, and is now using, Obama’s phrase “Enough is enough.” Logic suggests that he is having difficulty formulating an independent thought or concept. Who knows, if we give him enough rope he may just hang himself.
Perhaps it is time to throw the Republicans a curved ball. It is slowing becoming common knowledge that they use lies, tricks and games to win elections. If true, the thinking mind begs to know what does one do with a public servant/government official who violates the public trust; i.e., who lies? Do we reward him or her and put them in higher office? Yes, twice.
It is time to introduce a new issue into the mix -- TRUST. It would be wise to do this now because John McCain needs more rope. TRUST is the most important issue of all and no one even talks about it. In such a volatile political climate -- one in which incorrect thinking dominates -- TRUST is not only an issue, it is perhaps THE issue.
Today John McCain said, “We’re gonna put a stop to it.” It’s not about unbridled greed. It’s about unbridled insanity. Albert E. Einstein put it magnificently when he said that there are two things that are endless, human stupidity and the Universe. Whereby, I am not so sure about the latter. Now, McCain wants to put a stop to precisely that which he helped create. In other words, he wants to fix the barn door after the horses have already left.
But let’s get to the heart of the matter. Is it about greed or insanity? I do not know. What I do know is that, for all practical purposes, Einstein implied that humans are inherently stupid. Voting for John McCain and his “Reality Show” running mate would be like voting for Jim Jones -- nothing less than suicidal. The lies, tricks and games must end here, now. After the elections are over, we will know if American voters qualify as an exception to Einstein's rule.
