5 Days

5 Days until Barack Obama is elected, or 5 days until the Republicans narrowly win election, such as the case in 2000. Though, in some parts of me I am glad we had a Republican President in 2001, when the WTC and Pentagon was attacked. Sometimes it is not good to make friends with people who rather have you destroyed. In the last 8 years, our country has gone down in every world standing. No one likes us. No one likes the richest most powerful nation in the world anyways. We stand alone at a grand juncture, such as Rome did. How Rome fell was excessive spending, which led to debt as a result of military expansionism, which led to great wars and exhausted treasury. Lets also remember, Rome's faulter had to to do with terrorist acts that launched most of these campaigns into the North and East.

It all goes back to David and Golieth. It only takes a stone to take down a giant, and it only takes a plane to take down an empire.

We are going into a Socialist Government that helps the majority of the citizens. The problem I have always had with Socialism, is that, where does it stop? Where does the government stop protecting the citizens from themselves and allow them to faulter? The 700 Billion Dollar Bill was ridiculous. The reason this country got so wealthy, has to do with many things. Our one time isolation, which bred new ideas, and built a new economy, as well as the rest of the world destroying themselves over and over again. The main point that sticks out, is the idea that in America, you can have nothing and make something of yourself. If you are willing to take the RISK, you can be that CEO with a 20 million dollar Bonus. If you take the RISK, you can have your stock double or triple. The problem is if you remove the RISK than, where is the REWARD, it is simply not there. France and other countries with higher levels of government involvement in daily life, are not the #1 country in the world, is because the RISK and REWARD are taking out of the equation. Life becomes simple, and why try to find a way to make a million dollars, when you can sit and get drunk, while being a on 5 week paid vacation.

I am for Obama for President. Though, I hope the method of Checks and Balances doesn't slip us into full blown Government Babysitting.

The problem with Democracy, is it gives the people their own power to put themselves in Tyranny. Sadly, throughout history, the voice to put those in power, lead to those elected taking the voice away.
