    Our leader

    Re the electable Obama: I knew he was not the progressive leader I want. If he were, the American electorate would never vote for him.

    My constant maxim is the observation by Einstein that all things have changed except our way of thinking, and thus, we rush headlong to disaster.

    This long time paradigm change observer of the staus-quo has one thought, and hope. If we survive, cough-gasp-b-r-r-r until my year old granddaughter reaches maturity, perhaps we will have achieved critical mass--and moved into productive change.
