We Still Have Something to Gain...Even from the Worst Government Imaginable...

Is there nothing salvageable from Bush&Company?


What lessons we can take back from this government.

Anybody who looks objectively at this government and doesn’t get nauseous, wondering what in the Lord’s name are this government’s redeeming qualities may be missing true lesson here.

Is there anybody going to school in this day and age who can look at this government and cannot say “I can do better.” My God, Bush & Company has to be a balm for the ego for anyone who thinks that maybe he or she is not good enough!....

If this mess doesn’t offer encouragement what does?

The country is crying out for leadership and good leaders.

There is a wealth of opportunity out there for people with courage, integrity and intelligence to come to the rescue of their government and their country.

And viewed from the glass half full perspective, we may find that there are reasons for optimism.

We now know what it means to sink to the bottom of the swamp, elect unqualified and incompetent people to fill the ranks and still somehow manage to bungle through.

It is not pretty.

No, and I am sure our forebears are turning in their collective graves with the thought that what started out as such a noble idea has been so sullied by the forces of ineptitude and corruption. Even more stunning is the fact that these incompetent nincompoops don’t even realize how bad they are at what they do.

One thing is good: I don’t think we could have faired worse.

But what is perhaps more amazing is to learn how vulnerable we really are to the bottom feeders, those who only feed on the efforts of others.

And how willing our whole population is to put up with such embarrassing leadership. And that is the imponderable here..

It is as if we been sucked into Alice’s mirror and we cannot extract ourselves and think objectively any more.

If we did, we certainly would do more than we are doing to salvage the world and our own poor doddering democracy that doesn’t seem to know what it is anymore.

Yet, I cling to the idea that some good may come of all of this.

That there are young people out there who will come to our rescue even if our heroes have abandoned us…

And for a breath of fresh air, I would give anything. So, young people, the future of the Republic rests upon you.

Don’t let us down and we will try to look like adults in your presence.

Good luck! And may your kind live and prosper!
