What if the White Man cannot accept Obama or Clinton?

The scary thing about electing Obama or Clinton
is the repercussions of the white man. I don't
mean the educated white man as much as the uneducated
white man. The KKK man or the "red neck" white man.
There are some men who don't appreciate women. There
are some white men who don't appreciate people of color.
Herein lies the dilemma.
If either Obama or Clinton are elected, there are
people out there who are not going to enjoy having
them be our President. For a nickel and a cup of coffee,
they may decide that we don't need them in office and
well , you know what I am saying. I do believe that we
have some lunatics in the world, Charles Manson and
company being part of that group, and they are not
governed by the same set of rules that we abide by.
Given the opportunity, or by chance waking up one
morning in an irritable mood,could cause someone
to make a bad judgement call. These people that
are crazy and set off by different emotions than average
white men, may hear another drummer if you know what
I mean. I am not implying any of this , I just bring
it up as a potential future prediction. I hate to say
I told you so.

But What If?

Florida Mean Teens

What if we let the Florida Mean Teens get away with what
they have done? What are the consequences for our own
children?
What amazes me the most is that a whole group of kids
decide to beat up one girl. Were all of them so jealous
or envious of this one girl that they would plan such an
event? Were all of them in need collectively for so much
attention that they would organize into a lynch mob to
execute such action so that they could be on TV and get
national attention?
The Virginia Tech situation was one demented child who
struck back at his peer group for whatever was his reason,
but how do you bring together a whole group of other
people to carry out your own emotional sickness and
persuade all of them to feel the same way you do?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out and what the
answers are from the defendants. With Dr. Phil getting
involved in the fracas and getting even more attention, will
probably lead to more "copycat situations" and we will be
hearing about more beatings for national attention in the
future.
If the media would just let it die or if we are going to
have to be subjected to this day and night, just maybe
the judge who gets the case can impose the maximum
penalty allowed to make examples of the Florida mean teens.
What if they don't? What if they let them get away with
a slap on the hand? We as a society will be in real trouble.
We as a society are getting to the point where anything and
everything is ok. or at least accepted or tolerated. We can
only hope that justice will prevail and that we as a society
will soon come to our senses.
What If we don't?

What if we elect Clinton or Obama?

Everyone is complaining about Bush. Everyone is blaming the
economy and the price of gas on the Republicans. At which
point did President Bush or the Republicans raise the cost
of gasoline or change the economy? We are all Americans,
the Congress dictates which laws are passed and put
before the American people.
What if we elect Clinton or Obama? So far I have only
heard fussing and fighting and denouncement, or
ridicule of each other. Not what I really look for
in a Presidential candidate.
Where or when are we going to hear about the issues?
How would they settle the war? How would they change
the economy? How would they fix the social security
if there is a problem?
Every time you think they might address the questions
of the day one of them slips up and says something
that the media doesn't like, so they blow it all out
of proportion and the general population has a new topic
over the water fountain the next morning.
Does McCain have all the answers? Probably not. At least
he is not out there on the campaign trail avoiding
the issues.
You might not always agree with him , but you are not
always going to agree with the other candidates either.
What if we scrap the whole lot of them and get some
other people to run. Someone without a grudge or
bad feeling in their bones. Somebody like Aunt Bee
from Mayberry or Gomer Pyle. Oh wait, you say they
are just made up characters or actors and actresses.
Do you see where I am going with this? What is the
difference between them and what we have running
for office now? I am not saying we should change anything.
I am just asking What If?
