Bright Horizons?
As I sit here in the pre-dawn hours of yet another Monday, I have decided to set aside my contemplations of who I will vote for in the coming election. My brother will probably tell you he never had any doubts about my choice, but I really did.
This country needs, in my opinion, a hurricane relief effort of, enormous proportions. The United States of America has been through the worst eight years of contemporary history. Not since the American Civil War has the country been so divided, by partisan politics. Not since the Great Depression, has the economy been so tattered. Not since the Vietnam War, has the U.S. been embroiled in an unpopular war, that showed no signs of ending. I could go on, but you get the picture.
Today's young people need to be inspired to kick this country in the seat of it's pants, and start the next revolution, like President Kennedy did back in the 1960's. These people are just what this country needs to be dragged into the situation, kicking and screaming if necessary, and put them to work solving this nation's problems. John McCain is not going to be that person that drives the kids off the couch, away from their video games, and put to work on something worthwhile.
I do like McCain. I would have voted for him in a previous election, or two. Alas, his time has come and gone. I have had plenty of misgivings about Barack Obama, but I have written most off as my own stereotypical demons, haunting me, and trying to scare me away from taking a chance on an unknown. This is a country who for the first dozen years or so, had presidents prancing around in powder wigs, and pantaloons! Now we're supposed to get all wobbly over a guy whose name is "foreign"? This country needs to get over that, and quickly.
