Election Expectations

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves, at will, money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority votes for candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, usually followed by a dictatorship. The average ago of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through certain definite sequences. From courage by revolution to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complancency to apathy, and back to dependency." Ben Franklin

It is a human trait to make much ado about nothing, just as this article does. I just think that when there's a change in administrations there's always hope that the future will be brighter. I'm not so sure we're the only animals that look forward to the future. We should all be hopeful that Obama will change things for the better and have the patience to allow this fine man to get situated so that he can work on the change we all need.

I realize a great deal of what Obama proposes may not come to fruition, or will become so watered-down and compromised it'll almost be unrecognizable. But right now, that's of secondary importance. What's important to me, right now, in the interim, is that there's finally hope. We've finally taken a step in the right direction, and away from where we've been stuck for the last 8 years.

My hopes are that we survive and recover from what's been done to us over the last 8 years, and that this administration will continue to give open-minded people reasons to continue evolution away from the hate and racism that are still so rampant. Oh, and one more thing: that a pragmatic centrist administration will free more moderates from the hysteria and demands for more power of the right wing.
