What do Icons represent in contemporary America? OR Some shit is cools, but otherwise it still sucks.
I like the fact that Bryan Clay, our Afro-Asian American athlete conquered the decathlon today in Beijing. He physically represents the mix of America: an indistinguishable combination of genes from Earth’s multiple continents.
Joseph Biden as VP cements certain fears in me. He’s the Dem insider that represents Obama’s move into the interior political deposit envelope of Washington. I dislike this choice. I’ve heard mock and serious propositions that the man may be assassinated (lynched) before he enters office. I personally believe our nation is beyond that, but having a guy who handed the keys to the war cash box as second in line concretes the notion (once again) that they are the power infrastructure that runs our country. I think we need to develop a democratic immunization to the herpes of wealthy gentry that occupies our nation’s power structure.
Rome and Greece could not escape a democracy devolving into dictatorship. Can we? I hope so.
