  • What Obama's victory means to me is the tsunami reaching land. The mind shift has been predicted for some time. I've seen the water rising for the past year. You might wonder why the pundits missed the shift in consciousness, not just top down but also bottom up government, after thousands of years of trying to get government by the people; why they missed the economic crises or all the breakthroughs in every possible field and discpline, and the doubling of information every few years. What happened to journalism? Palin was a jounalism major. Need I say more? I don't thimk Palin is dumb, just our schools, professors and intellectual idiots, though not all of them. Find the awake, and let them speak. If you're having a problem yourself, you might look up cognitive therapy, emotional intelligence and intuition. That should do it. I won't bother you with looking up a progressive philosophy of linguistics, although I won't stop you.

    Thanks for the editing. It's pretty cool having your own editor. I sure could use it, as I have no friends who can read.
