The Great American Demo-Crazy

Its been craziest election campaign for 2008 US presidential elections. I watched with attention the acceptance speech of Obama and McCain last week.

As the world is divided distinctively on 'haves' and 'have nots'; the great American democracy which was thought to be driven by the proclaimed success of capitalism, is also facing challenges in this global era.

In the beginning decade of 21st century, there is for sure two distinct Americans. And let the majority win!!!

On one side are Americans that believe in reality. They cry - stop the war, economy first, focus on family, teach your children science, live and love life ( not the credit cards!).

Other side are Americans that believe in false pride. They lobby around- America does not loose, all except Americans can go wrong, terrorism is threat to our children and love the country.

While the new generation of 21st Century accept reality, the ones who fought wars..wars..and more wars..can't accept it. The false pride , and huge clout and lobby that was created are very difficult to leave as legacy for the older generation. This generation is now at a point of climax in this great democratic vote in 2008. This event this sure to open a new chapter in the history of world.

The real threats of 21st century- Global climatic changes, energy crises, health care affordability, and large scale migration across borders as a result of Globalization will have to be accepted, and fought with great determination to keep this world a safe place for future generations.


Change! Yes , we can have only if we change our way of thinking and accept the reality.
