The internet is a hard taskmaster..

I think what we have been experiencing around here lately, is the new face of politics in general.

I peeked in at that "other place" where those "other types" post, and they are absolutely skewering Bush, as a socialist.

We have seen Obama, being skewered rightly in some cases, wrongly in others, by our posters and he is not even president yet.

The internut, give us all a voice, to the point that we can all be screaming at one time, and not really hearing each other.

But this is the way it will probably be from here on out.

Politics is officially herding cats.

1. 'That other site' has no

critical thinking skills imo. They're screaming 'socialist' because they read it somewhere, like today's headline. Does anyone have an original thought over there? I don't know. I don't go. :D

2. I must admit, the "other" side gives a whole new meaning to the term

delusional.. I think they are trying to get away from the stench of what they (Bush/Cheney)did as fast as anyone. Kind of like that little kid at the back of the line, who cuts a big one and looks around and says "who did that"? :rofl:

5. I view it as glorious.

If we didn't have the Internet, everyone would be just as angry with minimal chance to vent or the opportunity to hear, read and be exposed almost instantaneously to an alternative point of view.

Furthermore, the political leaders would be more isolated within their respective bubbles, disconnected from the hard taskmaster of reality as the people's tempers boiled to dangerous levels while the traditional one way top down corporate media fiddled.

I look at the thrashing of ideas as waves pounding against the rock, a necessary requirement for the eventual creation of smooth sandy beach front property.

I don't believe cats can be herded but they can be led, it just takes the right amount of cat nip. the political leaders that figure this out, will find success. The ones that can't shouldn't be in large scale politics.
