Why? Change ? Why Change?

[DividedWeAre]

Why? That is the question that the hero in the old Prisoner series gave to the big-bad computer in one of the most interesting episodes. And, of course, the question caused the machine to overheat, and eventually become destroyed.

Change? We should also ask ourselves why we should care so much about this election and the two previous. All of which show just how divided our country has become. We should realize that our country will not unite under the Republicans. It is obvious that a simple majority is sufficient for them. To them, 51% would be just fine and to heck with the rest – “they are not like us, anyway” seems to be their bottom line.

Why Change? When Democrats, Progressives and Independents think about why they should be involved in electing someone who will actually change this country, they need to remember the following: George Bush took the best opportunity in the history of the world to unite the world, and instead, threw it away on a personal grudge against a second-rate dictator. No matter how Iraq turns out, that is still unforgivable. And any politician who is unwilling to admit that, is not interested in changing anything.

1. It wasn´t a personal grudge,

there was a plan long before his time,

and there is no such thing as a second-rate dictator.
