But I hope your generation starts making the changes this world needs. <br>For the first time in close to twenty years I'm actually excited about our elections. Obama is the first candidate I've seen that I feel isn't a status quo politican, and I hope many others follow in his steps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-92216259699570769752008-06-22T15:31:00.000-07:002008-06-22T15:31:00.000-07:00Fusion- Actually, I feel the same about Obama, I h...Fusion- Actually, I feel the same about Obama, I have such a positive feel about him.<br><br>I'd LOVE Obama to be elected, in fact I've considered actually putting this blog behind him, even though I'm not a US citizen.<br><br>I think Obama makes a change just by being in the running, because yes, he's the voice of PEOPLE. And that's something new.<br><br>Then again, a part of me hopes he doesn't win, because I really want a proper change, not a compromise. And the sham democracy accidently making good choices isn't going to help in getting people to open their eyes.<br><br>No we, need the system to show its Fascist face ad Totalitarian teeth long enough to convince every wage and salary earner, that they need to assert their natural rights to heir share of governing the infrastructure.<br><br>But having said that, I was just off to design a new poster for this blog, now I'm going to get off the fence and do one for Obama as well :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-60885483306089464572008-06-22T22:16:00.000-07:002008-06-22T22:16:00.000-07:00Interesting.

And I realize that as we grow older we gain the complacency of age, even if we don't lose our idealism (many self-actualized people don't, really). <br><br>At the same time, I would say that that generation did accomplish some things at the most radical level. They weren't unsuccesful. They were just incomplete. <br><br>As for your generation, I can understand your position, to a large extent. What you see, what is shown to you, more accurately, is the failures of effort. I'd say it's only so much spin, so much cheap propaganda. You see, even Minitruth knows that subcultures are useful mouthpieces.<br><br>BTW, I've got to party with you the next time I'm in England.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-39514981261705852142008-06-22T23:17:00.000-07:002008-06-22T23:17:00.000-07:00As I get older, find myself becoming less tolerant...As I get older, find myself becoming less tolerant of ignorance and the ways of todays generation.
