Why Write Anyway?

Without writing what would we read? How else would be we disclose ourselves, our individuality, separateness and peculiarity? Without writing we have no message, we would lack the engineering marvels created by words. We need writers to have something to quote to better express ourselves and understand others. As Rabbi Salanter, once said, "Writing is one of the easies things: erasing is one of the hardest". The What and Why and How and Where and Who of life would not exist if it were not for writing.

Obama to the rescue

Does anyone else think that time and history are happening so fast that if we go to sleep we might miss some big evet?  Wow.  What a week!  Canada got a new president, so did America.  Talk about a one world leader, President Obama is covering all the bases and looking very Presidential.  The feeling among my American friends and family is one of hope and excitement.  I don't think this feeling of renewal has been seen since the John Kennedy years. That was the last time little children were in the White House and a child looked at the President as daddy!  Makes an immigrant want to go and apply for a Green card.  

The other thing I've noticed is that the media is in love with Obama.  Who would of thought that the media could love anyone, especially a President?  I hope it is a four year honeymoon. My Republican friends are still in shock and contemplating a move to Canada.  Socialism is a scary thought for Republicans, but none the less socialism can work well with big business, especially when big business is broke and needs a bail out.  Now health care does seem to work in every country that is socialistic in regards to their health care systems (even Cuba).  When was the last time any of my American friends smoked a good Cuban grown Cohiba Cigar?  Not since President Kennedy signed that embargo back in 62 while he was puffing on a good hand rolled Cuban cigar.  I just recently got resupplied with twenty-four "Cohibas" from my friends here in Vancouver.  It's nice to know good street people who look after you and are socialistic at heart. 

Life is changing, folks and we had better figure out how to get on board and get with the program.  This new administration has the young at heart on board.  Never have we seen so many young adults wanting to get involved in political and social change.  Now, that is amazing to behold.  I'm not sure I'm a republican or a democrat yet, but what ever I am I like what I hear and see.  

In politics a week is a very long time.  As Ronald Reagan once said, "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.  I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." One last political statement,  "Deep down he is shallow."  One of my favorite political statements.
