So "Startle" Us!

As many of you know, I live in the United States. As is probably fairly obvious, generally speaking, I choose not to bash the US Government at any and every given opportunity. I say 'generally' as there are those times (like a couple of days ago) when I am just fed up by the idiots who have somehow stumbled their way into power, yet continue forward in their idiotic ways without so much as an effort to try to get a clue.

Even still,

The type of bashing I involve myself in is not of the type that I feel can be seen as anti-establishment and instead anti-idiocracy. Bashing the US Government at any and every given moment does nothing to help fix the underlying problems, and does everything to undermine the establishment by folks who are ill-prepared to stand up for what it is that they think they believe. Why are they ill-prepared? Because 99.100% of the time the anti-establishment smut is founded on opinion without even so much as a single link to any other source other than the opinion(s) of someone else. [1] How can I stand up for something, and do so with confidence, that has been built by something that in and of itself contains no representation of meaningful fact, and instead meaningless opinion?

I can't. I might think I can. But I would be wrong.

With all of this said, I must admit that I have been recently getting to the point where I was about to throw in the towel with the Bush administration. Thats not a statement that should be seen as a suggestion that before now, I was for the Bush administration, but now I am considering going against them. I am not for or against any administration. I am for the people. Whoever can best represent the people and our current state of affairs is the person in whom I am going to vote for. For example, in 2000 and 2004 I voted for Bush. Not because I believed he contained all of the best qualities, or that there was nobody better on the face of this planet who was more qualified for the position, and instead because, at that point in time I felt he was the best choice of the two choices that had even the slightest chance of winning the election.

To help showcase the fact that I am someone who doesn't walk party lines, In 2008, I am presently of the belief that if Al Gore decides to run for re-election ;) he will be the best choice that we as citizens of the United States, in whom have the ability to vote, can make. In fact, I have a project in-the-works (it'll be ready when its ready, and not any sooner) to help encourage Al Gore to run for re-election, and if successful, to encourage citizens of the United States with voting credentials to vote for him, providing solid, factual-based reasons to do so.

Why do I feel Al Gore would be the best choice we could be given for the 2008 Presidential Election? Because I feel that the current affairs of the United States Government must be placed smack dab in the middle of saving our planet if we are to have any hope of living on a planet that even closely resembles that of a planet with life-sustaining qualities. I also feel that the situation we will be faced with in the 2008 time frame in regards to foreign-affairs will require someone who has a proven and solid experience with forein affairs from the perspective of a United States Government standpoint. Al Gore has that experience. Therefore it is my belief that, again, if he chooses to run, he will be the best choice for President in 2008.

The fact that their seems to be a tad sense of glimmering hope that come January 2009, he would be taking over the controls of a "White House Administration" who has already been working towards similar goals can only result in good things.

This is a *FANTASTIC* thing!

[1] : In some cases the opinions of folks must be seen in the light of expertise and/or authority (in the case of 'or authority' this would represent those who speak for-and-in-behalf of someone else. In this case they have the authority to represent the opinions of the experts they represent). When this takes place, then an exception to the rule must be invoked.
