This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

MoveOn.org: Democracy in Action - Al Gore's Speech on August 7th, 2003:
"Americans have always believed that we the people have a right to know the truth and that the truth will set us free. The very idea of self-government depends upon honest and open debate as the preferred method for pursuing the truth -- and a shared respect for the Rule of Reason as the best way to establish the truth. "


This is the message that the Democrats must maintain. Reason and open debate are the keystones of a sustainable democracy. Without these components we lose our soul and what we stand for, a hallmark execution of humanist government is lost. The alternative is the past, where exalted people or interests hold the reigns of power with little regard for the wishes of the general masses. The old ideas of Higher Power should yield to the greater truth of Lower Power.

Those who cannot fathom the depth of loathing that many have for the current administration must not see that everything that Bush and his cronies stand for is counter to what our democracy is and can be. It is by no mistake that Bush's core constituency is one that claims no responsibility for their own fate here on earth or the hereafter. But if you want to abdicate your role in determining your own fate, fine with me, but don't hand over the reigns of our government to your self-appointed diety here on earth. It is the equivalent of letting go of the wheel in rush hour traffic and trusting a higher power to guide you to your destination. We know what happens in that situation and we should not be delusional about what would happen if we did the same with our government.

We know what works: Reason, Debate, Facts, Science and giving responsibility to the people whose fate will rest on it.

Do you want a President or a King?
