I was frustrated and depressed today. I guess I overestimated the population of NH. I thought they would blaze a new trail of hope....unifying at its best�ahh�..the despair.
I follow the elections very closely. It is gratifying and compelling in every nation"s social makeup. I come from the land of Gandhi and I have seen the worst and the best of men and women. I am seeing the same polity and polarization that once divided my country, India. It still does.
And now you are about to vote for a candidate whose husband Bill "moron" Clinton launched a hound like tirade against a candidate when they were losing and were going for a slew of attacks who showed the other cheek.
I was appalled. They were enacting the Bush "Cheney gravitas.
Then came the attack on the Fox channel interview by Clinton. Here she went off again saying that Martin Luther King Jr. and JFK were merely talkers and they just inspired(as if that is a trivial thing in itself) and she likened herself to Lyndon B Johnson and so she said she will act.
And then the slew of negative falsified emails . She is being Bush-lite.
America, in earnest �if you want a woman to be president-you should go for somebody like Golda Meir or Aung-San Soo Kyi of Burma�.a uniter �not a divider�and Hilary in all her power-hungry war-mongering glory is not any of that. I guess..America gets what they deserve.
I hope against hope that America turns a page and overcomes its beleaguering prejudices-HOPE---it"s a wonderful word..embrace it and fulfill it.
