Transformative Times

Been away for a long while. Reality street and the pressure of making a living will do that for you.

Anyhoo, 40 days until the election. Have been ruminating on this and the conclusion is, "transformative" is too weak a term.

In this corner, we have what can only be described as a charismatic, Alinskyite community organizer whom believes America must atone for its past, and in the other, a successful businessman with a love for America, but the charisma of an amoeba. The organizer wishes to "fundamentally transform America" with an ever increasing scope of government involvement in our lives, while the businessman likes the country as it was and wishes to return to a small government, responsibility based society. Two more differing views have never faced one another in a presidential election in my lifetime.

Who will win? The one who promises the security of a subject at the price of individual atonomy and a withering economy, or the one who promises the chance for a vibrant economy at the price of having to be a citizen and take responsibility for your actions?

40 days and we will know. I fear for my country
