I think there are times in our life where we meet someone else where the chemistry is dead on. You know you like the other person, and you have a pretty strong feeling that the other person likes you back also.

However within those moments of chemistry, there may be situations where for whatever reason, things weren’t meant to be. Either the person is unavailable, or some other complex scenario.

But sometimes pursuing what wasn’t meant to be can have dire consequences. It basically can put yourself in a situation where your morals are being stretched where you are considering situations you never thought you would ever have been put in.

It is hard because I think rarely in life do we run into this situation where we meet someone this special. And typically we would jump straight into the water to pursue things.

Unfortunately its hardest when we realize this and we are forced to pass on the option and move on. Because in all situations our instinct really does act as a fundamental guide of what we should or should not do.

Chemistry and attraction is a powerful force that can overcome that practical thinking mind. Great leaders have fallen through situations like this.

At the end of the day it is our instinct, and what inside we truly know what is right to do which tempers this situation.

Its not easy.. but there are times we realize we have to move on….

This year will probably be one of the most important elections you will ever vote for in your lifetime. Never have so many events relevant to our lives converged in one single point of time. A war, an economic crisis, global warming, terrorism, gay rights, etc.

I usually read about these political events with a strong degree of fascination, but I am i impelled this late night to write something about the election.

To me, the answer on which candidate to vote for is so obvious. To put it shortly, Republican policies of the past 8 years was plenty of time to create this mess, so why get another Republican in office.

The biggest messed up thing about our political process right now isn’t the candidates themselves, but its.. the people.

Us.

Only a small minority (you can call them ‘elitest’ or whatever) actually think about the candidates positions and do research on their policies, and to see if it matches their values. I consider these people to live in the intellectual centers, and there are pockets of them all over the us.

But the thing is SOOOO many people out there don’t really care about educating themselves on the issues. They instead let media tell them what is going on, and never bother to find the truth for themselves. And you know what this does… this lets both candidates spit shits of rhetoric out to us.. the people.

The reason the candidates do this, is simply that they can get away with it. They can get away with not answering questions directly, and not talking about policy. I mean, in the most recent Palin-Biden debate, Palin was saying that she can answer the question on how she wants to.

Then whats the fucking point of the debate if candidates like this are dodging the issues and not answering questions.

American people. Wake up. You cannot allow our candidates to spit out nonsense during such an important election. You have to get them to talk about, how are we going to fix this economic, what is going to be our foreign policy doctrine, how do we address global warming?

This is not elitism. This is plain and simple common sense. We need to be having this intellectual discussions because these are complicated problems. One liners or soundbites isn’t going to solve these problems.

The ultimate irony of all of this is as much as I disagree with our candidates spewing nonsense, a lot of it is geared towards the naive Americans we have, because they constitute a large portion of this nation.

sigh.
