  • 20080305-Jump Pages

    After one hour of cross training my slow brain on how to program ‘jump pages’ as per the helpful link via faq.wordpress.com, I completed five (very long) pages at around 01:27AM. Once again, the instructions were limited and I had to interpret was < a name > meant. This took me a good thirty minutes to figure out. This doesn’t work on the widget, though.

    After lots of trial and error, I discovered that < a name > needed to be programmed somewhere at the top of the page with the < a href > somewhere at the bottom of the page. I created a link of ‘Back to top’ at the bottom and another link of ‘Jump to bottom’ at the top. This mean both < a name > and < a href > had to appear with the respective ‘label’ and ‘link’ for each other.

    Archiving takes a long time as I copy and past each page to a word document. Now my tummy hurts and probably from all the excitement of exercising while watching CNN projecting Hillary as the winner for the states of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Obama as the winner for Vermont. Obama glared and looked angry during his speech. Hillary seemed ‘normal’ enough with her red suit.

    I personally don’t care who wins the next presidential seat because I already ‘voted’ since last year. As long as both ‘Paw’ and ‘Maw’ win, I’m happy. ‘Paw’ seems to always choose the underdogs during other sports and he would always lose. I’d hate to see him disappointed for this ‘Ballot Bowl 08’ this time around. ‘Paw’ was smiling wide and making happy sounds. It was rather refreshing.

    My parental units are the only reason why I drove the three of us to downtown San Jose, CA on February 1, 2008 to see Hillary. I usually don’t travel to unknown places but I knew my way around that part of town. Other than that, all the remaining three presidential candidates (now that Mike dropped out tonight) are part of the status quo, which is not really change.

    ‘Maw’ awoke around 01:45AM and used the toilet. She told me to go to sleep. But I cannot until I finish this blog entry. When I put my energies into something ‘creative’ there is no stopping me and sleep seems unnecessary as the excitement keeps me going like the ‘Energizer’ bunny rabbit, which is pink in color, by the way, like my new color for this theme as well as two CNN black guys wearing either pink shirts and pink ties and one CNN black gal wearing a nice pink suit. Pink is in the air! Jump!

  • 20080227-Flu Shots?

    This article is about how the Federal government is essentially ‘forcing’ flu shots containing mercury (such as thimerosal) and aluminum (like the material we drink from the soda cans) upon school children. No child should have to be submitted to unknown and foreign substance that could be detrimental or deadly to the lives of more sensitive systems.

    I believe this is a blatant move by our own government and its failure to protect its citizen from these poisonous injections manufactured by the profit-seeking bio-pharmaceuticals. I am appalled this practice would continue without more studies to prove autism is directly related to vaccinations. I wonder what the real motive behind this nefarious activity is.

    And now there would be this universal health care that Hillary is pushing as her agenda by forcing us poor folks to buy health insurance that we may never use until when needed in case of emergency purposes ONLY. I do not understand why politics would penalize (or jail) those parents who are disabled, jobless or penniless and simply cannot afford to comply with the likes of these bureaucrats.

    Federal panel recommends flu shots to schoolchildren
    Sabin Russell, Chronicle Medical Writer
    Wednesday, February 27, 2008

    (02-27) 16:49 PST SAN FRANCISCO — A federal health panel on Wednesday voted unanimously to recommend flu shots for all school-age children, a move that will compel private insurers to cover the cost of such vaccinations and require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make the vaccine available for those who can’t afford it.

    The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices adopted the recommendation at the urging of the federal agency’s own staff, which contends that flu shots will both protect the health of schoolchildren and reduce the risk for parents and grandparents who often contract influenza from them.

    “I’m very excited about this,” said Dr. Carol Baker, a member of the advisory panel and President of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “As a pediatrician, it is my responsibility to protect my patients from influenza.”

    The committee, voting 11-0, recommended that flu shots be provided to children six-months to 18 years of age – a decision that would take effect in time for the next flu vaccine season beginning in the fall, provided enough vaccine is available. The committee said the recommendation must be fully implemented by the 2009-10 influenza season.

    Until now, pediatric flu shots were recommended only for children under six years old.

    The decision adds about 30 million schoolchildren to the ranks of those who qualify for vaccination, and doctors estimate that about 7 million to 8 million of them will get the shots, or the nasal vaccine, next year.

    There are about 60 million school-age children in the United States, and about half of them already qualified for flu shots because they had asthma or some other health condition that put them at risk, or they lived in a household where someone else was especially threatened by the virus.

    Diane McGowan, a business analyst from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, said she wishes the decision had been made five years ago. On Feb. 9, 2005, her 15-year-old son Martin died of complications from flu, less than 24 hours after he came down with symptoms of fever and fatigue. The high school baseball player, who had a hard workout trying to make the team, quickly developed a rare condition that caused his leg muscles to harden and cut off his blood supply. He died on the operating table.

    “This vote is monumental. I hope it gets the message out that the influenza virus is not a cold. It’s not something to take lightly,” said McGowan, a member of Families Fighting Flu, an organization of parents who lost children to the virus. The group receives financial support from flu shot makers.

    The decision was criticized, however, by parents who believe that a mercury preservative, found in adult flu shots and once common in childhood vaccines, is responsible for rising rates of autism in the country.

    “The CDC continues to minimize the dangers of injecting mercury and aluminum into our kids,” said Rita Shreffler, executive director of the National Autism Association. “I’m living with the results as so many other parents are and it’s just horrific.” Shreffler is the mother of two children, aged 14 and 15, who developed autism at the age of 18 months after routine vaccinations.

    Flu shot supporters said multiple studies have failed to find any link between the preservative, thimerosal, and autism. However, the CDC ordered it removed from required childhood vaccines eight years ago, and California law bans it from flu vaccine given to pregnant women or children under three.

  • 20080226-Editing Weblog

    I’ve been playing around with my website for the whole day, which has been nothing but clear blue skies with an armada of sylphs overhead, including those nasty chemtrails along the hillsides. And after a couple of weeks of rain, my website has so far turned out to be a much prettier monster. I’m so addicted that I keep logging in to find what else I could add to make this site more interesting.

    Then I decided to add a ‘FAQ’ page numbered as the ‘Page Order’ of 5, with the ‘Site Map’ page bumped to a number 6. I reviewed a few samples of FAQ pages online and created this page with a question and answer format based on one website. That took me about a couple of hours and I got so hooked up completing this one page that I ignored ‘Maw’ hollering downstairs. I refused to exercise for a good thirty minutes to dance to some music from an old cassette tape.

    After watching the third and last presidential debate between Hillary and Obama, I added the first paragraph to the ‘Site Map’ page to briefly explain the purpose of this website. I combined the ‘Tagline’ in one sentence and shared a small part of my little biographical information from the ‘Your Profile’ tab into the second sentence. Everything else about this page remained the same except for the insertion of the ‘FAQ’ link underneath the ‘Help’ link.

  • 20080224-Controlling Cruds

    After watching the skit by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live (SNL) last night, I can’t help but wonder why critics make a big deal about Hillary Clinton and why other womyn cannot tolerate us female bitches who happen to show some ‘human’ emotions by crying (or partially shedding her crocodile tears) in public.

    Crying does not mean a woman is weak. Women do cry, sometimes embarrassingly due to hormonal fits of rage enough to scare a grown man (like Bill Clinton) to stray into another woman’s arms (like Monica Lewinsky) for comfort. There is no woman out there who would not cry after her man has had affairs outside the sacred bond of matrimony.

    Someone’s private life, including marriage problems, should not be made to public scrutiny. There is no perfection in relationships since there is always bound to be something dysfunctional going on all the time. While marriage does have its ups and downs, women are bitches because men will continue to behave differently by nature’s grand design.

    Men are simplistic like an on-and-off switch. Feed them food and sex and they will come running: Good boys! Punish them for doing wrong or nothing at all around the place and they will run away: Bad boys! Controlling one’s husband is different than controlling one’s emotions while serving as public servant.

    This female responsibility as wife should in no way interfere with her running a country as a potential Commander-In-Chief of the United States. And I see no threat to the whole world if Hillary, nay, a female ‘human’, does represent this most powerful nation in a world predominantly ruled by men, especially in the Islamic nations.

    There continues to be Muslim women who truly ‘stand by their men’ and are truly unsympathetic to those women who ‘stand up for change’ against the iron fist of outmoded men brow beating their ideologies of women as evil and whores. Another example is where women in a Pampanga province of the Philippines still work to sell while the men hold the money.

    And despite being the weaker sex — the physical design of smaller frame and strength to defend against the injustice of rape, some have paid dearly with their lives with beheadings and stoning – symbolic executions of hope for womyn kind, mother, wife and sister alike.

    The ‘new black’ is back and they are ‘female’! It’s not the color of the skin that divides us as a nation but the gender worldwide really. They are back to fight for what this country needs, someone who will control the country and lead the nation to a better future, a more maternal kind where women are more organized, thoughtfully planning daily affairs to keep the family together.

    There is nothing wrong with a woman president who ‘wears the pants’. I personally don’t like wearing a dress, well, because I almost tripped over my long skirt with my high heels on a date one night. And where business only attire is required, women should not be viewed as less than a woman or totally disrespected for not acting like a lady all dolled up and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

  • 20080222-Transparent Talks

    The media seems to have picked up on more dirt on the presidential candidates this week and that is more than I could imagine. On Wednesday, February 20, 2008, ‘The New York Times’ reported John McCain, 71, and his involvement with Vicki Iseman, a lobbyist, 40. Both denied any allegation to a romantic relationship. I think they both are liars. ‘John, you are a liar’! You know it!

    Anyway, I think most politicians are liars and feel the presidential candidates will say almost anything to convince the registered voters their party come out victorious. There is no winning situation if their new agenda will fall back to the status quo. Change means to stop lying to each other, showing no results behind the promises and giving people false impressions of freedom and false sense of security.

    Briefly, Obama and Hillary seem to be hiding lots on their campaign funds and of course those will never truly be traced because that’s how they got that far — by probably kissing the asses of the lobbyist by one way or another. This is how some people truly get way on top of the ladder of success by ‘getting to know’ the party of interest.

    So what is being said during the presidential campaigns doesn’t matter in the end because they are all talk without much noticeable action or prior experience. And everything else behind the scenes is but a veil hidden from view to most of us hard working citizens. People who lie continue to deny any allegations or any wrong doings despite any substantive proof, whether expressly written or said, copyright or not.

    For example, one of Obama’s speech made on 02/16/2008 is strikingly similar that a speech made Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick on 10/15/2006. And after I watched the comparison of both speeches on televised network programming a few days ago, Obama did borrow from someone else’s speech. Hillary does the same with the continued repetition of her plans over and over into our earholes.

    Obama’s plans don’t seem to go anywhere no matter how well he speaks and reaches out to the hearts and souls of the listeners. The trend appears to be that Obama could be the Democratic nominee even though Hillary is by far more qualified than Obama. I am surprised to see people don’t understand what is going on right under their noses.

    The strategy seems to go something like this: First, the Republicans don’t like McCain, who has to answer to the recent scandal about his affair with a female lobbyist. Then they and the Independent voters side Obama instead. Later on, the original supporters of McCain will turn around and vote for McCain for president instead. I think y’all get the picture, yes?

    So if y’all want to install a loose canon like McCain with anger management problems (due to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from torture during the Vietnam War) and calls concerned citizens names, like ‘Little Jerk’ to a student at Concord High School in New Hampshire on September 4, 2007 and ‘jerks like you…’ to Dana Bush of CNN on February 12, 2008, I would like y’all to talk amongst yourselves to decide the fate of our nation, nay the whole world, in the November 2008 general election.

  • 20080219-Either One

    It seems that Obama Barack is ahead in the Democratic race for presidency over Hillary Clinton. I see this as a good sign for change and per popular vote. Somehow I feel this is positive set-up now for a let down later on by the Republican Party. McCain seems to be ahead and he will end up debating with either Obama or Hillary.

    As I mentioned previously in my blogs, the United States doesn’t appear to be ready for a black president, even though Obama is part white (by his birth mother) and may be related as an eight cousin to Vice President Dick Cheney. However, Obama may still have a good shot at presidency because of his ‘bloodline’ to someone who works under the Bush whacking regimes spanning a total of twelve years.

    With the assumption that Obama will be nominated to represent the Democrats for the upcoming debates with the Republican nominee, McCain, I suspect that perhaps McCain will clown Obama due to his lack of experience. Don’t get me wrong. I am telling you right now this feels like another four years of war, if and when, McCain is installed as the next president of the United States.

    A ‘Republican Police’ of nosy people with guns over a ‘Democratic Socialist’ of lazy people on drugs seems to be the trend such as highway patrols pulling out from its parked position off southbound HWY 101 as we sped homebound at 80mph on Sunday, 02/17/2008 and the San Jose Abatement (one car, one van and one towing truck) hauling away a white Chevrolet truck parked from across the new tenants of the house in front of us.

    Either way I see no real change on the status quo. Both sides of the policital parties represent ideals that won’t make the cut until both the Senate and Congress agree in the end. Of course, real change means to create new set of rules and to make more amendments to an outdated Constitution of the Uniteds States, just like what George W. Bush did with his pre-emptive strike in Iraq.

  • 20080219-Show Me

    ‘Just words’ are just that — words, some of which have the best of intentions but in the end mean absolutely nothing when not followed up with action. And ‘action does speak louder than words’. I personally know that TPTB are very good at keeping words but the process to achieve any results is quite slow indeed.

    If I were an independent auditor overseeing the progress and compliance of any company (like the bankrupt nation of the United States), I would definitely require proof: SHOW ME, dammit! Change means to stop manipulating statistics that only confuses everyone. On March 1, 2008, the economic indicators by the Economics and Statistics Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce will discontinue.

    While viewing the many cable programmings, both Obama Barack and Hillary Clinton offer our nation change with ‘just words’ and ‘solutions’, respectively. I do prefer change — the replacement of old ways with newer ones. Solutions offered is better than mere words, ideas so eloquently driven and tossed out by Obama to appeal to all levels, most especially to the younger voters who participated more in this election process whereby the our votes don’t weigh as much as the super delegates.

    In spite of the popularity of Obama and his charismatic persona with younger voters (who really don’t know what’s going on), the super delegates already know who is best for the country. We old timers just sit back and listen well to the ‘offers’ by these presidential candidates. Notice Obama never looks directly at the people while speaking or at the center of the camera, always looking away to the left and right.

    For the past few weeks, I heard nothing but lots of positive feedback on Obama than Hillary. The media in essence has given lots of ‘free rides’ to Obama as a ‘balancing act’ to quell any premature uprising by angry sentiments left over from racial tensions in the past. That’s fine but I see that this is a set up for the ultimate truth that the nation is not ready for a black president.

    While Obama represents a temporary tool, a buffer against a gang of white men and their agenda to prevent the installation of a woman as president, Hillary represents a future president with an organized and well thought out plan of action to get the nation back towards democracy and out of trouble from its own short fallings. Change means to stop treating women less than men.

    A challenge, however, lies with other nations too stubborn for change. Yesterday at around 09:00AM (Pacific Time), George H. W. Bush has endorsed McCain will continue to the war regime and keep our troops in the Middle East, leaving the United States pretty much defenseless along its borders. Change means to stop depending on the military for our defense.

    Notice the upside down, white stars of the American flag behind Bush during that speech. It’s symbolically ‘Satanic’. This means TPTB who wants to keep the war going worships ‘Satan’, yes? So for those who think McCain is good for the country by continuing this war outside our borders is wrong. Change means to stop waging wars and ruining people lives.

    The war is really here: On February 19 2008, the USDA has recalled 143 million pounds of tainted cattle meat, meaning we could have consumed meat from diseased, sick and dying animals. This is a greedy practice and not kosher at all. Our nation should learn to treat animals better like Japan’s Kobe cattle. Change means to stop eating meat from sentient beings, including whales.

    Besides risk to our public health and the environment, we citizens end up footing the bill for ‘the war on terror’ with higher prices in commodity, like gas and oil. Even bottled water cost more than gallons of gas. If we want to end the economic recession, the prices must come down and taxation must end because ‘reading [their] lips won’t work. Change means to stop depending on gas and oil and utilize renewable forms of energy.

    We all should stop wasting energy on the next lies and concentrate on our attitudes about ourselves and our nation. Change means to stop our expectations that our next president could do everything for our country or for the whole world. Change means to SHOW ME what we could do here and now for each without waiting for tomorrow, if any.

  • 20080214-Daily Diary

    Woke up around 06:00M to the running water of Maw cleaning out her CPAP accessories. My left nostril was especially congested. I sprayed with medicated nasal spray this time. After peeing and rinsing out my mouth, I greeted her.

    Yesterday (02/13/2008) was very clear blue skies as I thought out loud while imaging Chris’ orgone run last year in Mt. Hamilton. Very clear blue skies indeed.

    Today 02/14/2008 was also clear blue skies with several high altitude chemtrails in the air, especially over Saratoga, CA when Maw and I went to find matching pink material for her sweat pants repair project at Hancock Fabrics.

    Played around with my theme since yesterday night and finalized the same one without touching ‘Edit CSS’ under my flynnsblogs.com site. Yesterday, Pete told me the fools are still negotiating about some ‘deed’ until the end of this week.

    Today, GWB wanted the expired bill (since Sat.) to continue the spying on terrorists. Later around 01:30PM, Mitt Romney officially announced his endorsement to John McCain, which means he gets all of Mitt’s delegate votes. Poor Huckabee!

    Yesterday, I blogged about the possibility of assassinations on five remaining presidential candidates. This morning, CNN put up a headline ‘Assassination, possible?’

  • 20080209-Obama Tool

    I’ll hold my detailed opinions on anyone’s blogging material for now. But I’d like to add that although you, sir, may claim to be a lousy typist; your blog is honest and insightful. It resonates on what I could not clearly express as well as you about how to discern deceitful information from truthful ones, especially on the proven theory (which I’ve read elsewhere as a matter of fact):

    The most resistant demographic group to the effects of hypnosis are agreed to be African decent[…]

    And a black president would surely provide what this nation needs – change, not to hang or assassinate those whose message is strongest while alive but to represent the removal of status quo and the installation of freshly brewed ideas from younger generations who seem to have participated more especially in these primary elections.

    Like the title of this thread ending in a question mark, to me this upcoming November 2008 election will be the deciding factor on who will lead the nation out from being ‘slaves to fear’ to being ‘defenders of freedom’.

    I’ll agree there is nothing to loose or fear with but I myself hide behind a pseudonym and for good reasons only known to me.

    . But somehow what bothers me is why the messages of those

    dead man walking? zombie = ghost = a tool to pro establishment =

    akin to a zombie

    So technically, although Obama represents change, he is merely a tool to continue a company that is not only financially but spiritually bankrupt, And he represents a pasty as a zombie.

    zombie

    A company that remains in business even though it is technically bankrupt and almost surely headed for the graveyard.

    Obama: dead man walking?

    abomination of a zombie representing change, to hang or assassinate…

  • 20080204-Absentee Ballots

    Today, my bio-units and I did the normal routine of attending morning mass and eating at the McDonald restaurant where I wanted to go after deciding last minute that talking to Emmer and Myrna is much better than Paws’ idea of going to the post office. As usual, the twosome was there with Maw and ‘Myrna’ talking more than Paw and Emmer.

    The ratty haired blond woman came into the restaurant and sat herself near our table. Maw offered to pay for the homeless woman’s cup of senior coffee. I helped to give some three more non-dairy creamers and a bunch of napkins for the woman to sneak into her shopping cart outside. She has a sister working at the local Safeway market.

    So there I was sitting and worrying about my vote not counting in tomorrow’s Primary Election. I had filled my Voter’s Registration card (which I received back in December 2007) while waiting for the foursome to finished their idle chit chat among themselves; signed and dated with the idea of driving my completed form to the Registrar of Voter’s building off of Berger Rd.

    My suggestion was good enough that we drove to the place after dropping off Paws’ piece of mail. The location was near the San Jose Municipal Golf Course and parking was somewhat filled up. We managed to get a parking not too far off the main entrance and we found our way to the line.

    The young clerks to the right counter directed us to the left side of the counter where this short, little Asian girl was waiting in line, telling me she was in front, duh! So I said to her rather loudly: ‘I hear you, thanks’! And in my mind I thought, ‘Dimwit’. So after waiting another minute or so this larger sized older woman wobbled over and processed the dimwit.

    And then I was next. I was worried about not getting registered because I’ve not received any voting material through the mail and thought I had to re-register. But thank goodness I was still in the system since 1992 under a party that I thought I’d changed but couldn’t remember. I left that party the same and proceeded to wait in the short line again.

    So up to the counter we went, filling out our yellow colored paper for the ‘Emergency Absentee Ballot’. According to Paw, there was a deadline for submitting absentee ballots. Paul had helped my bio-units get their coded sticker on the blue envelope and what looked like a bad photo copy of the ballot on legal-sized paper. I thought to myself this had to be the job done by a clerk. Maw said get an employment application, which Paul handed to me. Damn!

    But my name wouldn’t pop up on the system and good thing a female clerk did something to correct my mailing address from an old post office box to the same old street address. And out came my coded sticker for the blue envelope. After we circled our preferences on this bad photo copy of a ballot, we folded the ‘ballots’, stuff those inside the blue envelopes, signed, dated and entered our mailing addresses.

    My bio-units chose the ceramic wheel containing water to do the same job as the convenience of my pink tongue to seal our envelopes. The old lady helped them with the sealing. I gathered all three envelopes and stuffed those into the slot to the right side of the counter. We accomplished our ‘early bird’ voting in only thirty minutes time with the old fashioned paper system instead of waiting in long lines with the Diebold machine that even I couldn’t understand last year.

    Me love you long time for fluffy clouds of white
    Puff, puff, hugs of ‘Wee!’ everything’s all right
    Kiss, kiss, sylphs of ‘Ahh!’ against clear blue skies
    Me love you long time SMILING widely, no lies

    Thanks Father for looking out for us
    Against this morning’s brown-filled puss
    Of chemtrails laid by government tools
    No white washed blankets by the fools

    Author’s note: There were heavy chemtrails being laid by high-altitude spew planes. The noticeable ones came from the NW direction (originating from where Moffett Field, CA is generally located) over the Paramount’s Great America Theme Park in Santa Clara, CA. There were three chemtrails. One was dissipating with two parallel trails which actually crossed through the clouds spewing upwards from a factory near Bayshore Freeway (101) in Santa Clara, CA.

    On westbound 237, I could see to my left that there were many chemtrails laid out in a fan-shape over Mt. Hamilton, CA. Later and while waiting in the parking lot of the El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, CA, I decided to boost the sylphs. Then the police appeared to make two rounds in front and behind me as I waited for my parents. I, of course, subtly flicked off these gun-toting jackboots from inside the Mercedes Benz E430.

    At home, I discovered online that Hillary Rodham-Clinton will be visiting San Jose, CA today in the San Jose Convention Center off of Market Street from 04:00PM to 06:30PM. I suspect this morning’s chemtrails were laid by the government to pollute our fresh air, knowing Hillary — this less than genuine character who sided on Bush’s ‘preemptive strike’ on Iraq – would be coming to the Bay Area.

  • 20080131-Calicratic Debate

    Tonight on cable, the California debate for the Democrats went well enough with the twosome (Obama Barack and Hillary Rodham-Clinton). Both did not poke each other like little roosters in heat and were rather civil. I would nominate Hillary as the next president of the United States with Obama as her running mate — a female and a black, a tribute to F. B.

    Hillary, of course, represents the status quo and I didn’t like her approach to issues concerning health care and immigration and the Iraq war. First, I didn’t like the universal health care knowing that people like me simply cannot afford to pay the ridiculous, out-of-pocket payment of over $500.00 on monthly premiums for the best coverage.

    What I would like is paying upon medical services rendered when in dire need, in any hospital nationwide and with a card where the system of processing paperwork is eliminated. I especially don’t want to pay monthly on a scam that drains my pocket for pills of unpronounceable ingredients being shoved down my throats by the bio-pharmaceutical industry.

    Second, I would like any illegal immigrants who have truly lifted their fingers to work hard in America to receive entitlements (Social Security, health care and welfare). There is no need for these people to stand in line, learn how to speak ‘Ingrish’ and be processed like paper work. But I definitely agree to the filtering out of illegal criminals for punishment by both governments.

    Undocumented workers being deported back home that may or may no longer be there for them — a place they once knew prior to coming to America for better opportunities, do not seem morally right. To me, Obama came across as someone who wouldn’t let any illegal down. They might already have children who rightfully deserve citizen status and benefits, too.

    Third, I didn’t understand how she agreed to Bush’s ‘preemptive strike’ on Iraq. And by the looks of the war; it’s illegal without proof whatsoever of these alleged ‘weapons of mass destruction’. So she is really someone who doesn’t represent change; other than the fact she is female and that she has over two decades of working within the government.

    If she does become president, that will send a clear message to the more fundamental Islamic states that women are as equal to men and not to be treated like animals, wrapped up from head to toe and literally hidden from the rest world where beauty of motherhood and sisterhood abound. If men can run a country this large, then I’m sure a woman can do just as well if not better.

    Hillary will truly be a goddess in the making of the most democratic nation in the world. I wonder how the ‘Founding Fathers’ will like her running her platform based on their ideas of freedom and democracy. I’m sure she will indeed clean up after one Bush as did her husband for the former president of the same family.

    As for Obama, well, he really tried to come across clearly as possible this time. He did, as usual, paused in between his thoughts several times during the debate. His ideas are somewhat in agreement with Hillary. I noticed he did seem slightly irritated at some issue, which I forgot.

    Overall, he may not know as much as Hillary but he certainly does have the fighting spirit to get the country back into shape. Plus, Obama appeals to a wider range of Americans, especially the young voters who are definitely more open-minded. They have fresh ideas to contribute and improve this nation as a whole.

    So, yeah, although I suggested a Republican as the next president to TPTB, I see good potential with both Obama and Hillary. Their teamwork would fulfill both the race and gender issue. Maybe next time we could have a gay president with either an atheist or agnostic background. That will really be a colorful event in the history of the United States. Ah, but that is wishful thinking, eh.
