As of 9/11 2001, Isolationism has died.
Isolationism is the classic world view that we retract from global politics and build a wall around America. Those who believe in this philosophy have no argument any more. Clearly we cannot leave the rest of the world to solve its own problems. A proactive foreign policy is good and necessary. This is just some of my thoughts following super Tuesday.
Cheers

Primary Problems
Hello Once Again
After the results of super tuesday I have a few thoughts on the election
It is clear that we do not want the third Bush Presidency
That is however what we would get if Mitt Romney were given the Republican nomination. This man thinks he can be Mr negative and expect to win. Throughout the entire campaign he has been smearing his opponents. Romney is a demagogue. personally I would like to see John Mccain win the republican nomition. He is a better person than either Huckabee or Romney. happy voting folks I will see in the general election in the fall.
Sincerely
Seraph

The Teflon Candidate.
Hi Readers
On this super Tuesday 2008 I would like to share my thoughts about the presidential race. I consider Hilary R. Clinton Senator from New York to be the teflon candidate. Nothing no matter how negative will ever stick to this women. The media treats her with kit gloves. They will print bad things about her opponents. But they will never print anything negative about Hilary. This website will be the exceptions. We will find and expose chinks in the armor of HC and we will exploit them. Personally I hope Barack Obama wins the democratic nomination. At least he is honest. Plus it would be a much more interesting election come the fall if we had Obama V John McCain. happy voting folks

Hello Again from Paradise1
Hi Folks, Seraph here in light of the coming election I have some additional thoughts on the American political process.
I must concur with MIT Professor Daren Acemoglu who said we need to address institutional deficiencies within the electoral process. The first major problem I see is the electoral college. We should abolish this archaic nineteenth century institution and make our executives popularly elected similar to the way they are in France and Britain. The electoral college is clearly what made Florida just such a debacle in 2000. I know this won't happen in the short term but this is just some food for thought for the future.
Have Fun Voting.

Power and Perception in the New Millenium
Hello Folks from Paradise!
These are just some thoughts on the world today
We live in both exciting and dangerous times to be sure. America is the lone super power and for the forseeable future the only true world power. If India and China become world powers it will take them the better part of a Century to do so. I still am not convinced that China is the next power. They have an unstable political situation that could easily deteriorate if it continues to go unaddressed. The PLA (Pople's Liberation Army) is a 120 million soldiers strong and its conscripts are paid four dollars a week. Who lives on that kind of money? Plus there are tens of millions of Chinese who China's economic boom is not touching at all. That is a potentially devastating combination for the Communist party. Revolution in China will come when the PLA's generals get the poor on their side and the and chuck out the Communist Party. For those reasons I am not sold on the Chinese Super Power idea. Happy new years to all of you.

Resident Insanity!
Hi once again from Paradise,
I have just a few thoughts about Hilary Clinton's bid to become the next President.
First off, the woman is insane. At a stump speech she gave at the Rotary Club of Las Vegas Nevada Hilary Clinton made a campaign promise to chuck out all undocumented immigrants from this country. Earth to HC that at least ten million people. Also the American armed forces are forbidden to operate within the United States for Military operations so that idea is infeasible from that stand point. Also you would destroy the American economy in the process. Lets face it the media is afraid of Hilary Clinton. None one out there will ever say anything negative about her. This is an absolute tragic irony. If a conservative politician had said those words he would be crucified. I do not want the people to forget this bit of resident insanity when they go out and vote. Peace and Love folks.

The Sad State of Science Fiction Today
To the readers of my blog I am a huge science fiction buff, but even I see disturbing trends regarding the literature of the imagination
Fewer, and Fewer works of visionary genius are being produced these days. Back in the day Science fiction had legitimate visionarys. The genre had writers like HG Wells, Jules Verne, Phillip K Dick, Isaac Asimov, Bob Heinlein and Arthur C Clarke. Sadly most of the writers on this list are dead. Most moder writers are writing what I call Shit Lit. These are utterly unimaginative watered down creations. Mostly they are writing either mediocre Media tie in products things like Star Wars or Star Trek related stories. Or modern writers are writing voluminous bad but utterly unoriginal fantasy novels. With the exception of Harry Potter most of modern fantasy is just recycling the Lord of the Rings in various ways. It is not original please refrain from writing it. There are a few visionaries still left in science fiction but sadly they are in the minority. These would include writers like Ray Bradbury. But the later, being Bradbury is an acknowledged master storyteller. He is more the exception than the rule. This is just some food for thought concerning the literature I cherish.
