What are you waiting for?
so in america we just had a presidential debate. in that debate one candidate promised that if electedto prosecute the other. whatever your feelings about these presidential contenders, that act gave me great pause. i could not have imagined such a scene playing out in america.
it made me realize that we really do have only a veneer of civilization. that we are, and most likely always have been, forever on the edge of falling backwards into anarchy. that's what happens when you discard the rule of law, when you have someone announce that they will discard due process just to punish a political opponent. in america we think that is just some 3rd world craziness. or i did. i have lived in some 3rd world craziness, i have experienced kleptocracy first hand. wasnt fun. i guess i felt we were beyond that. that we had evolved past that stage of our political evolution, to a more enlightened experience.
i am not advocating for or against either major party candidate. my vote will be wasted on a 3rd party. just because that is my political ideology.
its just so bizarre to see something in this most evolved democratic republic that so closely mirrors what happens in dictatorships. not a good feeling
i thought we were better than that, but i think its the human condition to be forever pulled back by the animal side of our evolution.
