Truly frightening, Stephen, as was the story mark forwarded.
But what an outsider wants to know is Who are these Republicans which
still mass almost half the polled nation? I mean I know there are many
more multi-millionaires & billionaires than there used to be, but they
dont comprise a majority. For the rest, why do these people think this
government is doing them any favors?
Of course, some of he fetid swamp gas of the neo-con agenda has made
its way north, especially to my province, & it's sickening to see it
here, but we still have a government that can act (hey, even
immediately sent 4 ships to help Katrina victims, even before it could
get ther acceptance it needed, they were ready to go), even in our
province where the same, let's cut the government policy is getting
into ever fuller swing.
I was watching Charlie Rose last night & he had the guy form Time, &
the NYTimes, & a few others on, & what was most fascinating about their
conversation was the way they still (admittedly, one was a conservative
columnist) looked to Bush's performance here as something of an
aberration, wondering when he'd find a way to make his actions look
good again. There is apparently a believed 'aira' to the presidency,
which those outside the USA dont get, that people really seem to
believe that achieving the presidency actually does make a man better,
a superior being, someone to admire no matter who or what he is.
Or?

The temper is fragile
as apparently it wants to be,
wind on the ocean, trees
moving in wind and rain.
