The most important event this decade?
Every day is important. All events taking place have a place in space and time. But some days are more important than others. And some events influence other events more and have greater ramifications and consequences than others.
Today, I believe, is the day when the most important event of this decade is taking place. Today is the day of the election of the next American president.
At this juncture, with the financial crisis, the American depression, and all the challenges facing the US and the rest of the world, the choice of the new American president is far more important than in any normal election year. Not only to America and the Americans, but to peoples and nations all over the world. The choice will determine how the current crisis will be handled, how America will face the challenges of becoming again a modern nation, with modern welfare, educational and health systems, as well as the future position and role of America on the larger international scene.
I am not an American. I am not able to do much to influence the outcome of this election. I can not vote. So, today, I sit, wait, watch, and hope. And I feel strongly the powerlessness associated with the role of the spectator.
The odd piece of information, strange facts, comments on news, ranting and rambling. Kicks and licks. Fun, irony and sarcasm, often, though, with some serious intention.
I live and have lived in Europe and the US. I like both.
I’m nekkid, so no need to undress me. Don't bite me. I much prefer stroking.
