Gentlemen, ladies, and not so genteel members of humanity (fopr whom Denver has a newly made jail awaiting you) it’s time for two weeks of man-made hype, division, anger, character assassination, and the worst that American politics can produce. The Democratic Convention is followed by the Republican convention wherein the worst of human consciousness will be on display.

Am I happy with either choice? No way!

I don’t have a horse in this race and only time will tell what I do come November. I see my choices as between a candidate who will kill babies (abortion) and one who kill older teenagers and adults (war). I see my choices as between on candidate that will raise taxes to support social programs and one that will keep taxes high to support a $12 billion dollar war habit. I see my chocies as between one candidate who seems to not like America as much as I and one who seems to love it far more (can you say idolizes) than I do.

By the way, both men do have good qualities. But both men are politicians!

The Democratic convention is now ready for prime time, but prime time what? Hillary is going to get her day in the sun and so will Bubba, but after the Clinton’s get the few moments of TV fame, it’s on to what wrong with the Bush-McCain ticket followed by a week of what’s wrong with the Obama-Biden ticket.

Is O’Reilly the only one looking out for the “folks”?  

Seriously, we afre facing a serious meltdown in being a civil society. Politics has always been a rough and tumble indoor sport, but of recent, it’s become a no-holds-barred, kill your opponent’s character and take no hostages. Where’s the people with a transformed consciousness that see that we’re all in this together?
