The book I have coming out next month, and the companion book to come out in a year have an underlying theme. That theme is that humanity has entered the global stage of its evolution. We now see ourselves as global citizens. That will be followed by the development of a global conscience, which will then give way to the beginning of global consciousness. The accelerating electronic connectedness is the tech model of this development. All that being said, this post was about the palpable pessimism that pervades the U.S. I understand your point of view about the political system and parties. That being said Barack Obama can be a leader towards the future. The politics of the future versus the politics of the past. Yes it is still politics, but a change is significant degree. The nation state is becoming an anachronism I agree about Islam. As soon as the U.S. gets out of the way they will go back to fighting amongst themselves.

The nation state is becoming an anachronism

I agree about Islam. As soon as the U.S. gets out of the way they will go back to fighting amongst themselves.

whether it is infant mortaltiy or life expectancy or education … name anything… the us is not to be looked at for leadership …. except maybe in greed and xenophobic self-interest before all else

if i was a kid in the world, i would look elsewhere for my inspiration and my role models

and i am really surprised that you think the political system in america is anything but broken…. you are looking to democrats to change something? look at the last year, and let go of that illusion

show me one leader who is saying that we need to think of the whole world and fit into it as a good neighbor… their is a bankruptcy of vision in america that is just plain horrible

america doesn’t need optimism, it needs a serious kick in the butt, and a lot of chaos, because the same old ___ isn’t going to work anymore

feelo-good cheerleading is not a solution… the entire econmomy and foreign policy needs a serious reworking, and it seems everybody except america knows it, the education system is turning out cretins …

oh, i’ll stop, except a word to george above… get over the islam myopia, that is a false flag designed to keep you in fear so that more control can be exerted over you

refuse to be fearful, and get seriously practical … and it is not going to come from political parties

It lifts those who got the rhythm, that is of change; and an ignited youth reignites America for everyone. It is a little bit Cainsian. He says we will get over present hard times and the economy will right itself as he speaks of self defense in a new global world. You are quite right about ending years of politics based on fear, and so is your friend Jeffers, but how optimistic can we be about the growing confrontation with the tribally driven world of Islam?
