We are "locked" into the "drama" of the Democratic primary campaign. We see the "struggle" and wonder what the outcome will be. The contenders stand, as though in corners of the ring, hands on hips, eyes boring down on each other.... sticking their tongues out at each other.
I follow this "drama" pretty closely, for me, looking for the real passion, the solutions, the excitement of new policy and debates...but...alas...The dialogue is so petty at times it seems it would be more meaningful if they actually did stand there sticking their tongues out at each other.
The good news is this - we will transfer power next January in a civilized and peaceful way. We know the truth that "sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me". We can look today at the junta ruling in the disaster of Myanmar, the violence in Lebanon as the political parties actually do kill each other, the upcoming incompetence-driven famine in North Korea, even the threat of violent rebellion in Chad where there is no forum or even method for political debate and dialogue - no method of peaceful transfer of power. We can see the alternative to the "endless" campaign of 2008.
So, stick out those tongues, wag those fingers. We, the People of the United States of America continue to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Traquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, anad secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...
