OBAMA IS IN AFRICA, and a sign said "welcome home obama" - did he take a little long to get there? Some things just don't work out, like obama, and long periods of time in africa, his home.
The fact that obama became president of the U.S.A., then got reelected, reflects well on american culture in particular and human potential in general. Potential for positive change, for progress.Potential for working together, and through cooperation, building a better world.
Africa is on the rise, obama says, and that's why he went there. And of course it is; how could it be otherwise? The people I know from africa are the most computer literate, financially savvy, ambitious folks i have seen in america.
With the amount of internationalism in today's politics and economics, a world wide culture of some sort is bound to emerge. It might be a culture of large scale international corporate entities, answerable to no single nation, headquartered nowhere, but existing all over the world.
Some means must be devised of providing for popular, democratic control of these future corporate mega monsters. Or would you prefer living on a planet entirely under the control of huge corporations which manage everything, including your life to suit themselves?
If someone had managed to kill hitler sometime before 1941 it technically would have been treason against the german government, but it wouls have been a great service to the german people. we currently have a similar situation here in america. Technical treason against the united states governmetn is in fact a great service to the american people.
Snowden has broken the law, but in so doing, has greatly aided his people, us, and don't let the government tell you any different.I am glad that i know about the government surveillance of everything electronic. Now that I know, I can do something about it. Any government against which this is treason should be altered.
