Couldn't resist getting stuck in here.<BR/><BR/>Out of interest, just down the road from where I live here in London the Democrats are casting votes for super-Tuesday. A couple of people were campaigning in the streets last night. I reckon that's a fair sign that people realise the desperate need for change. Enough though... we'll pick this up over a coffee/drink (my kingdom for a Hansa!) sometime in the distant future!<BR/><BR/>Hope you're well (flu aside) you glorious woman!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-13254126556715856062008-02-05T17:51:00.000+02:002008-02-05T17:51:00.000+02:00Aw!!

I'm waiting for when it is the 1 Republican against the 1 Democrat, then I'll start listening up. But that snippet of Hillary's speech yesterday suddenly got my attention, as I always assumed the Democrats were not that focused on the AMERICA CAN DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE ARE AMERICA ideology.<BR/><BR/>Neighbour!! - HELLO you gorgeous man! I'm assuming this is my dodgy Earl Grey-drinking neighbour who left us all for cleverer places?! <BR/><BR/>And stop picking on the flu'd up chick! Is this anytime to come and start an intellectual debate! Also, please try to recall, I LIVE on the higher ground. <BR/><BR/>In terms of the USA vs SA...my political readings have been warning that we are showing ourselves off to be "the America of Africa", in the idea that WE got something right that no-one else did, so this gives us the right to boss around the smaller countries. But with recent infrastructural CHAOS & possibilities of where SA will be in a few years, our possible ideology exists on a MUCH more shaky base than America's. No, SA does not have a foot to stand on. <BR/><BR/>We hate America for their ideology, yet we are still so attracted to it, not only because of their arrogance but because yes, they often do achieve what they set out to. <BR/><BR/>The America under George W., however, was an example of why the USA needs to keep a reign on their ideology. The NeoCons exploited the peoples' beliefs, and this (arguably) only really benefitted the NeoCon Republicans. Except that they are now getting tossed out - because America's democracy works...well, let me say that post-November's elections. <BR/><BR/>Smooches to you!

Many, who are fiercely proud to be Americans - and rightly so in my opinion, would agree that there are serious problems with national policy and government.<BR/><BR/>We as South Africans can hardly take the high ground here - we have a likely future president who we wish had only dabbled in coke! Aids, arms-deals, crime, etc... to argue that "Americans" tacitly agree with the state of their government and the hype it spins is to imply that we do the same of ours. Parallels exist between the hype spun to get a man elected who pioneers the showering-approach to safe sex, to that used by his American counterpart in starting a war. It's politics: dishonest, but unfortunately effective.<BR/><BR/>Underlying American ideology is sound, its manipulation is political and I don't think reflective of the general day-to-day sentiment and ambition of "Americans".<BR/><BR/>By the way, holding thumbs for you and the new dude!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-55491942521552831062008-02-05T15:48:00.000+02:002008-02-05T15:48:00.000+02:00The more I start following the US election fiasco,...The more I start following the US election fiasco, the more I am convinced that Barack Obama is the one candidate who can change the rest of the world's perception of the US by fixing that ideology.Mnr.
