I read<br />it days ago, not sure why I didn't<br />comment then, maybe I had to leave<br />my apt. or was distracted.<br /><br />But a larger, more unhappy truth<br />underlies these Russ-cited embarrassments: too many people are<br />electing those who most resemble them, people they can "have a beer<br />with", etc. Where is the humility and the objective realization that<br />we need to elect people BETTER than<br />ourselves, else WE should run??<br />(--Horrors!)<br /><br />Democracy is not what we have here,<br />as I've said before, not even the<br />Greeks, with their caste/slave system, had it. But the worst features of rule by rabble ARE appearing, and that worries me,<br />for our children's sake if not our<br />own. <br /><br />Still, I have hopes, forlorn though<br />they may be....<br /><br />Best, A.amber ladeirahttp://amberladeira.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286024989073514983.post-71603373194022611702011-01-04T15:46:01.078-06:002011-01-04T15:46:01.078-06:00Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Rehctaw....Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Rehctaw.<br /><br />Rgds,<br /><br />TGTengrainhttp://mockpaperscissors.comnoreply@blogger.com
