There are some who would like him to win because he mirror's their values, others, like a commenter above, would like him to win because it put's the country perhaps, maybe, actually not possible, road to revolution. <br />My take is that we can deal with 4 or so years of Mrs. Clinton and not come out the losers on the other side; in other words, maybe a bit like we are now. Maybe health care better, who knows. <br />With Trump, it's russian roulette with 3 chambers loaded, spun and fired 6 times. If you're real, real lucky, our brains won't decorate the wall behind. <br />Take care, TBShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-72791484741171398812016-10-19T16:23:05.263-07:002016-10-19T16:23:05.263-07:00Interesting point...and then, so is Bubba Muntzer&...Interesting point...and then, so is Bubba Muntzer's point that maybe we need less intelligence instead of more.

However, I cannot offer much of an opinion about your forthcoming election except to say Trump is not doing himself any favours with his behaviour.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-82121105640238287522016-10-18T16:43:41.569-07:002016-10-18T16:43:41.569-07:00Good review!

I think there's a small liberal arts college or a community college in your area that would love to have you teach a couple classes and impart some of the wisdom you've acquired.<br /><br /><br />Still, as for intelligence and the presidency. The US is involved in eight military conflicts at the moment and has destroyed much of the Middle East and killed, from Serbia up through today, between 1.5 and 2 million people. It could be we need less intelligence, not more.<br /><br />There's a long essay by CLR James called Every Cook Can Govern. It describes Greek democracy, which was very participatory, as was American democracy at one time, if you read deToqueville's account of it in the 1830s, Democracy In America. Things have evolved to where we think we need to leave our "democracy" in the hands of a professional political class, aided by a permanent class of experts. They've kept the nation intact and our standard of living fairly high, but the average American probably has little idea at what cost to other people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-73623696360303956342016-10-18T16:01:39.443-07:002016-10-18T16:01:39.443-07:00This history ties in well with what's going on...This history ties in well with what's going on today in the election.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-22091447249022334812016-10-18T14:03:23.702-07:002016-10-18T14:03:23.702-07:00The cartoon fits.

IF my husband who had a Top Secret Security Clearance had done what she did...he would have been court marshaled...and would still be in jail. Because she is a Clinton doesn't give her special rights. <br />I am not so much in favor of Trump either but he hasn't killed anyone. <br />For me it is the lesser of the evils. I guess I will be a deplorable. <br />I am truly afraid for our country with either of them in power.<br />I wish I could fast forward 100 years and read a history book.
