OBAMA AND ROMNEY, like most prominent politicians, avoid talking about the most important topics and spend their time safely stating the obvious, like, we need more jobs, and we need less poverty, and we need more economic prosperity.
The fact that not only is the united states bankrupt, but simultaneously trying to control the world economically, politically, and militarily, while the human population grows to possibly undesirable levels, and the planetary ecosystem deteriorates, is not mentioned.
And it could be that all these facts are related. It could be that we need more people on earth, not less, that the sixteen trillion dollar american national debt doesn't matter, and it could be that there is no global warming and impending catastrophic climate change.
Its a matter of where we place our bets. Also, its a matter of figuring all this stuff out.
Maybe mitt is right, and maybe more american military strength and bolder foreign policy would be helpful to us all. Maybe that idea merely seems insane, on the surface.
What is needed is critical, intelligent thinking. Anyone can take part in that. There is no shortage of intelligent people, but who can argue that better education, for us all, might be helpful?
Ah, dispassionate, intellectual analysis, to the exclusion of emotion and personal bias, that's the answer!
