What's Wrong With America 1

It goes beyond Bush & Co. and the Phil Gramm inspired rout of the financial sector. For starts, there are some people in Michigan, historically democrats, who will not vote, or so they say. They cannot bring themselves to vote for Obama, so they will stay home. These peoples' attitude is a cancer. And Michigan, of all places. The state that has been down on its luck for years. The state where 80% of the population believe one does not need a college education. The state whose largest city's high schools have a 24.90% graduation rate. These people would rather withdraw into their own depression and let the world destroy itself. They will not even vote to save their own skins. They think their refusal to vote is a protest, but it is their own death wish. We have had enough of their attitude over the past. It is time for a new future. And that's what this is all about: the future. The past of deficit spending and letting the future pay for it is dying. The past of raping the planet and letting the future deal with an exploited and exhausted world is dying. The past of pushing the great mass on people into poverty or near poverty while enriching the few is dying. But it is not dead yet. And the beast will bellow in its death throws. Perhaps invade a country or two before the election. Anything is possible now...this is the time when all things are possible. In the mean time, suck it in. We all knew this economy was smoke, mirrors, and crap. Be brave. Be strong. And to those in Michigan: Ford's in his flivver, and all's right with the world.

The American voter is one of the dumber creatures on the planet. I greatly fear that prejudice, idiocy, and the usual Republican lies are going to foist that loathsome McCain and his equally loathsome running mate upon us in November.

Reading your comment forced me to try and remember something from King Arthur:

The Loathly Damsel !

I do not mind her. I am truly appalled by that old randy bugger romping about her.
