OT I'm not sayin'...... (warning: political content)

BTW, you forgot to include Daddy's White Hood in the beginning of your
story. Without this necessary item the story makes no sense.

Or the results of a Presidential election. If this incumbent gets
re-elected it
will just confirm the belief that Americans are a bunch of easily-duped
nitwits. It's like he's driving our collective car straight toward a
concrete wall at high speed and we're in the back seat are letting him do
it because he hasn't blinked even once. Determination is no replacement
for thought.

In many states you can vote early at public librarys and court houses.
If you are over 18, get it out of your system and go vote now! I
did.... I will defend your right to vote no matter how stupid it
is.....Just vote, and then get back to VW stuff that we can argue about.
Hire and Fire who you will.

..................And the lack of determination emboldens your enemies. One
of the stupidest things I ever did was voting for Jimmie Carter back in '76.
Since then, if there's any hint of a lack of determination & conviction in
any candidate......to hell with them. No matter what direction this country
goes in, having a Neville Chamberlain style weakling in the White House is
not the way to get there.

So, everyone of you,,,

with all your complaints, remarks and commentary...
Its as simple as this..

If you don't like it the way it is, or may be, *VOTE*..

If you don't vote, you have *NOTHING* to complain about.

btw, the ability to vote is *NOT* a constitutional right....
Check it out, you don't HAVE to be allowed to vote....

something to think about

Well, it needn't be black and white. I reckon there is a sweet spot
between thoughtless determination, and thoughtful lack of determination.

I like thoughtful determination.

Well, not exactly, although I do take your point.

From an objective point of view, as defined by Marx himself, there is
no such thing as a Communistic government (any large one, anyway)
anywhere on Earth, since the first thing Marx says must be done after
any overthrow of a corrupt government is to establish a democratic
system.

Communism is more of an economic model than a political one. Too bad
most people fail to understand this. The Chinese understand it since
they are currently trying to have it all...a dictatorial government
with no free elections along with a hybrid market/centrally controlled
economy. So even the Chinese understand that it is impossible for a
centrally controlled government to take into account all the variables
a large economy has and make everything work out like it should.

The only real way to manage a large, global economy is a slightly
regulated free market system as no one can do it all and some are more
efficient than others at some things. Although the playing field
should be level for all players...and that will take a while.

Not necessarily. From an economic point of view, growth like that seen
in China can only be supported for a relatively short time until a
plateau is reached. China still has a long way to go and a lot of
people to use up in its race to catch up. A the same time the rest of
the developed world will also continue to develop...
