Query for the Times

Will all the media attention, to the death of Osama Bin Laden, make him a Martyr among Western Jihadist sympathizers?

How many people in Islamic nations actually give a damn about the Jihadists and other suicidal idiots?  That is, aside from the fact that they are a clear and present danger to every civilized follower of The Prophet = those who want a peaceful and good life for themselves and their children; those who seek, by improving their environment, to improve the world; those who believe they are as responsible for the health and wellbeing of their neighbor, as their neighbor is for theirs.

In other words – those who are neither Jihadist nor Right-Wing Christian, nor American Republican Conservatives … all of whom practice a doctrine based upon The Most Harm to the Most People … in any misguided form they can utilize semantics to twist and justify.

Bin Laden is gone, reportedly, Afghanistan has only 100 of his followers –- 100 suicidal idiots devoted to the commission of random murder – how long will it take for them to be eradicated and the people allowed to get on with their lives?  How long before America decides that we are wiser to spend our money here, improving lives and creating a model for developing nations, rather than in those nations murdering its people?

2012 is an election year in America – if we see a move toward the Right, and victories for the Republicans, we declare open warfare on the peace-loving people of the developing world.  If we fail to bring our troops home, and fail to allow them to enter the civilian workforce where they can grow our economy, we declare that we wish the death of the American Dream.  WE DECLARE!

I have expressed and declared my position, so the responsibility is now solely upon YOU to declare yours!  The death of America – which will take two decades from the time you affirm, with your vote, and possibly your voice, your desire for this nation, this dream, to end.  Those who are now your children, those below the age of having a voice, and those who are, or will be, your Grandchildren, will hold you responsible for the world in which they shall find themselves.  With the decisions you make – to be silent or speak out, and in speaking make it clear that you at least have some miniscule amount of courage of conviction -- YOU will decide what that world shall be like.  Will it be a world of energy efficiency, free of dependence upon fossil fuels?  Or will it be a world of random mass murder and religious or social bigotry?

Will it be a world in which America Leads, or must learn Chinese and Arabic (so as to beg for money), while being dependant on food and products from foreign shores?  Will it be a world in which our hatred of immigrants results in a depletion of new ideas and minds with which to apply them?  Will it be, as the Right-Wing has demonstrated it wants, a world in which “only in America” refers to a hatred of science, and love of Creationism?  Will we speak of Divine Punishment as an explanation for our downfall?  Our why earthquakes and other natural disasters irradiated a quarter of our nation when they destroyed the nuclear power plants we insisted upon building -- and allowed to age to the point of deterioration – in the precise areas we knew to pose the highest risk to the most people?

We ( !YOU! ) are making the choice, as I write.

As you read this, YOU are making the choice.

My Bet as to what that choice is?

THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE!

and

A REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE IN 2012.
