There is something crazy about what is going on in our country today
Friedman identified a few of the problems that I've been discussing here- what I call "politics schmolitics"- he says
Maybe it is just my friends, but I find more and more people completely disgusted by this situation and looking for a serious Third Party candidate who could run in 2012 and deliver the shock therapy to the corrupt, encrusted, two-party duopoly now running the show in America.
The "duopoly" is geared toward dividing us and ruling over us. They somehow get everybody divided and hating each other and then it all becomes self defeating. Now, to overcome this, you have to recognize the problem and start looking for some common ground.
Friedman likes to write about global warming, but how about some solutions? That doesn't mean raising prices through the roof, but the opposite. Take natural gas, for example. Environmentalists initially supported it as a bridge fuel until they saw that it may become more entrenched because it is cost effective. Why is the fact that it is cost effective a problem?! Because they don't want carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. Well, find a solution for that! Don't oppose it just because it doesn't conform perfectly to your demands.
You don't need a third party. You just need to apply intelligence to the problem and defeat the problem, not each other.
Update:
This will be a sidebar entry because it explains the blog. For those who are new, sidebar entries are for that purpose. Another note: I use italics for ads to Amazon, bold letters links for referring back to my own previous posts, and green letters for links to pdf files. These are a courtesy to readers who may not want to click on these, or the opposite, if that is the case.
