“Sowing their wild oats” has been given the imprimatur of tacit approval for young men, but young women doing the same thing are called “sluts.” It is a hypocrisy ongoing throughout history and not likely to change, but it does point up the fact the world is neither fair nor just and we are expected to do our best to muddle through life best we can.
Thoughts of exogenesis in its various forms have been around since at least the time of the Greeks. Recently it is getting some renewed attention with a more thorough examination of meteorites that some are speculating anew might be a plausible means of “seeding” life. It may be as I have speculated the universe itself was a kind of “seeding” process much as in the Parable of the Sower in the Bible. I am inclined to the belief there is good seed and bad among humans, there are good souls and bad, that the soul itself is a planted seed that may or may not mature, and if it grows to maturity may be a foxtail or cornstalk.
Politicians are in the foxtail group. Economics, race, and religion continue to be the witch’s brew of politics they have ever been. But I hold firm to the dictum no truly good person ever wants power and authority over others, that politics is a dirty business that attracts only those willing to roll in the mud with other bottom feeders like lawyers. When it comes to politics it has never been something attractive to good people with good hearts, and much as some might trumpet the merits of their particular candidate over others a moment of sober reflection would impress upon sober minds the choices are seldom between good and bad candidates, but the lesser of evils.
But it is an evil system born of evil men, and the most some hope for is to come out of it alive in the end, a vain hope in too many cases of the various governments throughout history since their doom is invariably that of those driven by the lust for power and riches that become rulers over the masses. At present, there is little prospect of change for the better though the lesser of evils precludes anyone like Obama who obviously presents the greater evil.
However, it continues to boggle the mind that Democrats could have been as purblind to believe anyone like Mr. Obama would be a viable candidate, or fail to realize his candidacy would be one fraught with risks of great magnitude. Unlike Ms. Clinton, Mr. Obama poses a more immediate threat of race riots in America fomented by those like Mr. Obama’s spiritual leader and every malcontent blaming Caucasians for the woes of Negroes. So, while I see this as the Devil’s work throughout and it isn’t likely Mr. McCain will solve the woes of America there is our Hobson’s Choice, made so by what at least superficially would appear to be disastrous decisions and blunders by the Democrat Party.
Alas my fellow Americans, we are in the hands of thieves and liars, 545 of them having the rule over America. Much like Mr. Obama attempting to distance himself from his church and spiritual advisor publicly, who believes we will be under the rule of a noble leader no matter who wins the presidency. All of them lie to get elected and lie to stay elected and there is no honor among them. Once more, because of an evil system led of evil people, bad seed, bad souls, our “choice” is as usual the lesser of evils.
But the Democrats have only themselves to blame they could offer nothing better than Clinton or Obama. A woman like Ms. Clinton or a Negro like Mr. Obama should have been immediately dismissed from the start. Were they that hard up for choices without so much politically “inconvenient” baggage? And it is puzzling why this was not obvious to the leadership of the Democrat Party? It reminds me of a story Thoreau told of his ax sliding to a hole in the ice of Walden and falling through as though guided by the hand of some evil genii. Many of us have had a like experience, something inexplicable we could not have accomplished had we intentionally attempted to do so. It is at such times not a few of us have been willing to credit some malevolent supernatural force at work.
But since Satan is not divided against himself, what do you suppose he has in store for America because of this debacle by the Democrat Party? Nothing better; of that much I am certain. Alright, dismiss Satan as only a figment of religious superstition and belief. Questions surrounding the Democrat choices of candidates much like Thoreau’s ax still remain unanswered by any ordinary means.
