short assessment

conventional political wisdom is seriously howdt to lunch. In january, the four basic assumptions were 1) McCain was the darling child of independents, 2) rude e. jewel. e. anni' is far too liberal for the republicans 3) hillary has the black vote locked and 4) barack obama was too green to run. well none of these turn howdt to be so. the talking heads blame the wide open race on no heir apparant, since neither Bush or Cheney get to play. Jackie Salit doesn't buy it - feels that the political instability is driven by the independents. The war issue is still being ignored.

my guess is that the pace of change is increasing at an accellerated rate. the deterioration of the public school system has reached the crisis level - our youth are not capable of competing in the world marketplace. this could be because the assumption that we are naturally better and don't have to work at it has been totally inbred by this system. dead wrong. now is the time to get political - to outreach from the grass roots by connecting people. building and organizing a living system requires self-actuation with back-ground support. CUIP is cool.
