Horizon Road

I am not at all into politics. In fact, I generally dislike politics and politicians alike and try to stay away from making any political postings in my blog because of this fact. But I needed to post the fact that I am supporting Obama and he will get my vote for the presidency because of a couple of earlier, less informed short posts I had written (despite my personal political writing policy) and then removed after discovering my errors in them.

And I will say no more about politics. I still hate our entire political system and the criminals that use it to serve themselves more than they serve the people that elect them, but I have been convinced that Obama is different, and for that reason alone, he gets my vote because someone completely different from anyone we’ve had in charge in our lifetime is the only way this country has a chance, and even then, only a slim chance. If we get another Bush or Clinton or Ford or Reagan, (or McCain) or anyone who has been part of the political system for the last two or three decades, the countdown to self-destruction continues.

At least with Obama, I see a slim chance to change directions. And for that slim chance, he gets my vote.

The true fact is, this entire world is becoming Hell because there are just too many people anymore. Obama has a chance for change, a slim chance, but I don’t actually believe the world will allow him to make the changes necessary. The only thing that is going to allow our (human) race to survive into the next century will be a natural disaster (I would never hope for an unnatural disaster) that wipes out at least three quarters of the world population and allows those that are left to start over and try to get it right the second (or third or fourth, do we really, truly know?) time around.

Otherwise, in a few more centuries, survivors will wonder about the existence of a country in the middle of the ocean that was supposedly once called “The United States of America” much the same way we wonder about Atlantis. I hear they tried to conquer the world…and look what it got them.

The world of today seems to be heading for the same fate as Atlantis. But why should any politicians care about that? They’ll be long dead by then.
