What is the most difficult thing for you to believe?

I can’t believe McCain or Obama will most likely end up being the next US president. We can’t do better than them? We can’t?! I’ve been trying my best for two years to thwart this disaster with my own candidacy. However, it seems no one was terribly interested in what I had to offer: I’m the only candidate to offer a written contract in exchange for votes. My contract is very specific and details exactly what I’d do if elected (all 47 points are on my Gaia blog). And it mandates my loss of office if I don’t deliver. But it seems I wasn’t flashy enough. People want either a charismatic unknown (really, no one knows who Barack Obama is) or a crusty, feisty old POW who’s joined at the hip with Bush. I don’t know – to my way of thinking, the US derived a great deal of its strength from well-executed business contracts between persons of integrity. So I tried to extend the concept of the business contract to the political realm. Made sense to me. Maybe we’ve lost our way, though, in terms of (at least) our general business integrity. That might explain a great deal about what’s (really) wrong on Wall Street. Oh well, I’m still in this race till the end. However, should Obama or McCain win, all I have to say is: Rots of ruck.
