I have to admit to being quite moved by that video. The depth of the pain in the United States has caused a great majority of people to become disheartened and disillusioned, frustrated and flummoxed, saddened and shamed.

 

The people of the United States are tired of being torn apart, tired of being lied to, tired of being treated like immature children, tired of making more enemies in the world than partners and friends.

 

The issues we face as a people are shared collectively. The challenges we must confront require us to stand together. The changes we must make require hope and belief to achieve.

 

I have to admit to being quite moved by that video. I was so moved that I watched the speech which inspired it, and I am now inspired also to hope and believe that, yes, we can.

 

Yes. We can.

 

Here's the speech which inspired that video. I wonder what it inspires in you.

The people of these United States tear themselves apart, lie to eah other, are immature children, and often don't care how they're viewed in other countries. The people, simply don't care about grandios principles. They want to live life as best they can afford, and sometimes moreso. You can't expect people to do anything that doesn't benefit themselves in some immediate way, or avoid something they don't want. It's up to the government to legislate changes that make it beneficial for people to help out.

Hope in change and you will see none, believe in change and you will be heartbroken. If you want change you have to have more than principles. The willingness to change something isn't enough. What can we offer to actually implement change other than rhetoric*?

I think you're talking about a basic property of all human beings, not just Americans. I've always considered that to be at least one of the reasons why the American experiment has worked as well as it has -- its flexibility in the face of that inherent human uncertainty and unreliability.

 

The system has to be flexible, because there's just no rule you can make that cannot be subverted with sufficient power combined with sufficient control over information. Ultimately it's not the rules, but the people who enforce them, and wield the power we trust them with, that matter.

so much for Satire! *sigh*

It wasn't my intent to turn this into a political discussion. My apologies. I just had never seen that music video until you posted it here, and when I got done watching it, I was like, "wow." It struck a chord, that's all.

 

 

So, if you want to keep this relatively lighter, has anyone seen Obama Girl? She's smokin' hot, and put this video out last June before most people even really knew his name. Check her out:

 

 

 

There's also new footage available that Hillary wasn't lying about the sniper fire thing:

Oh sweet, a new title. Thankee!

Oh sweet, a new title. Thankee!

 

Ermm... Whoa. You are a very strange duck, indeed.

Well I figure I was "pregnant" last week, so I might as well stick with the theme. (lol)
