We Americans can look so silly to the world

The whole Plame and Scooter Libby affair made us look like the obvious; no common sense is applied or reported inside of D.C. The Clintons can tell the biggest whoppers, and not be challenged as to the absurdity of the whoppers. We say our women are free and equal, yet society’s values treat them like meat and free love objects. Then when they cannot conceive because of disease (them or their “partner”), it will become a government crisis. We spend 90 % of our political capital on 5% of our losers, and this is culturally wired in, it seems. And recently our candidates for President seem more concerned about what foreigners think about us than most of us think about us. This seems silly to so many that “have” to think about themselves, first. Are we this silly?

Well yes, and no. A certain group of Americans are this silly. This group tends to live and socialize and work within the Boston to New York to D.C. line, and some other urban areas. This group of influential people are on the losing side of American history, but time will have to take its toll. Most Americans are not this silly, and beginning after the first of the next year of 2008, will begin to think and listen to those running for office in November of 2008. These candidates are local, state-wide, and federal. And probably most importantly, these voting citizens are not silly, and will guide our Country better than any self-appointed person can try to achieve. Even the rest of the world appears to be paying attention to the basic values and respects that are beginning to look like the “new world” we are.

One can express a point of view that most Americans are not so silly. Perhaps our present media and political types are thought of this way, both foreign and domestic? Perhaps the foreign present media and political types are also suffering similarly? Perhaps what we new world Americans evolve to will become the world standard? That’s what seems to be happening, but only time will tell. And it will not be silly.
