We have Thanksgiving behind us,
the insanity of Christmas shopping before us, and the fate of the nation hangs
in the peaceful transfer of power. This
December should be a memorable one. Now,
if only the Canadians would change their names to Visigoths and Huns the
perspective would be complete.
For the record, I don’t seriously
think the nation will collapse before January 20th or even in the
next four years, but each challenge to the historical assumptions of peaceful
transition calls into question the strength of the Republic of the future. You’ve got to admire the spunk of the Green
Party, for finding a fundraising opportunity in the disdain of the left for
President (elect) Trump. I think it is
also telling of the DNC and their candidate.
As Democrats work through
their stages of grief, it seems apparent fresh ideas are not coming from
within but, as we see with this challenge to the election results, from others
outside the party. Kind of like Senator
Sanders, an independent, as the only real challenger to the DNC’s preordained choice.
As an aside, for almost all of my adult life
the educational industry has told us college for everyone was the key to a successful
future. We are now coming to realize how
horribly wrong that idea is, but they have a very strong lobby so it probably
won’t change anytime soon.
