Political capabilities vs. intentions

There are alternatives to revolution, like the vote. This is a more American way, though we have done it the other way, too.

Those who try to guess their political opponents real intentions are usually wasting their time.

And the vote for Obama showed we Americans are ready for change, and now most know he is not the one. I think most suspect any Democrat or Republican is also not the one. After all, they got us into this mess after decades of control. Hence, another political party will arise based on an idea vice an individual.

These are momentous times, and one might recognize these fundamental shifts going on. The American people are just being themselves.

It is fair to say most of us want to be ruled. Common interests like transportation, clean water, waste water treatment, police and fire protection, etc, are why. And we are willing to pay local, state, and federal taxes to do so. And the idea of a Constitution still sells to most Americans. And our governments must deliver common services.

One does not change the course of an aircraft carrier on the ocean, or a country such as ours in our world, quickly. And our new world advantages still work. No wonder so many immigrate here. They are voting with their feet.
