This article, about what to do in the aftermath of the election and in the face of Bushmen's already escalating arrogance ("mandate"?? please) makes complete sense to me. Unfortunately I believe it could easily be yet another step in the downward spiral of the fall of Rome.
Without being overly dramatic (grin) I'd say the Dems can certainly do a better job of fighting like hell. There can be true respect without concessions. There should be calm, peaceful rhetoric, solid ideas, (cringing-->) sound bites that every person can understand, and firm resolve to not give an inch.
To support all this we have to have people - a team - leading. The energy of the angst and passion we have from the election and results should not be squandered.
And I damn well think we should attack the notion of "moral" and replace it with values - something concrete and understandable and defensible. "Moral" is like "knowledge management" it's a catchy phrase completely devoid of real meaning.
Morals are personal. Values are shared.
Morals are subjective. Values are agreed upon.
Morals are internal. Values are the basis for action.
Please G-d give us a leader who will lead us out of the wilderness as a nation, who will be honest and humble and intelligent. Please give her a team of geniuses to help her.
amen.
