From the Washington Post:
"Sarah Palin is beginning to seem like quite an unusual woman, and I'm not talking about her love of guns and "snow machines," her faith, her family or any of the presumably non-elite attributes that we in the "elite media" are accused of savaging. Wrongly accused, I should add; reporters are doing nothing more sinister than trying to find out who she is, how she thinks and what she has done in office."

"There was a time when Republicans campaigned on their ideas, programs and values. This year -- lacking ideas, programs or values -- John McCain and Sarah Palin are running for the White House on an elaborate fictional narrative of victimhood."

America has been fired up by Barack Obama's exciting promise of change. On top of that, we are being deluged by technological changes each day which many older people are finding increasingly problematical. Changes are always difficult to cope with because they threaten our usual routine, they take us out of our comfort zones and they make us feel vulnerable and insecure until we get used to them again. However, not everyone cope with those changes in the same way. Some have a better predisposition and readiness for change than others do. As a rule, the happier and more contented we are in our lives, the more we will welcome change, while the more unhappy, low in esteem and isolated we feel, the more we will fear that change.
The last images of the abuse, humilliation and torture of the Iraqui prisioners shouldn't be a surprise, but they ignated my memories. I feel so ashamed...
I remember my old poster of a little Vietnamese girl running naked with her arms opened, while on the background we could see the war.
