Mr. Obama said it.... "They must think you are stupid." Stupid to believe that McCain/Palin are "change agents." Change is becoming this campaigns' ping pong ball and we are missing the point. Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Be it. Don't talk about it, don't pontificate about it. Be It. Action word. Demonstrative. Maybe Nike just drafted off that great statesman and made us all "Just do it."
Whatever, the call to action is now. Be it.
Jung said "Only that which changes, remains true." Truth -- unvarnished, well-vetted and precise.
My favorite quote is from The Princess Bride by William Goldman. In it, a street savvy young man hardened by the realities of the world, tells the princess..." Life is pain and anyone who tells you different is selling something."
Life is pain, hard, unfair and yet also achingly beautiful and transformative when we are walking toward truth.
When the Republicans had their convention and there were signs held high with the monikers...."G.I. John and Superwoman" I knew we were in trouble. They were selling a fantasy!
See, we are not stupid, we are humans, we can think and listen and learn. But if what we are taught is corrupt lies and if we are fed the "family truth" then we are not stupid, we are brainwashed. G.I. John and Superwoman take them away from being mortal humans and put them in to the comic book hero status, Teflon coated, impenetrable and as we are seeing today, in the case of Mrs. Palin, not even held accountable in an interview.
We are not stupid, but we are gullible, to fear, lies, misinformation and calculated deceit and that is what we are now up against and where we need to demonstrate the real change.

Wow, Jaime Lee Curtis, the voice of the people. I guess since she played a prostitute in trading places and was allegedly born a hermaphrodite, she can really identify with your typical American voter.
Bravo Benny!

240 do you have any cognitive capabilities to reason on your own at all without resorting to some imaginary code of conduct that youve been brainwashed to believe by other people? Why cant I attack the messanger? I attack you for claiming your independant ( because its a total farce). Should I only attack your "message"?
I made a joke about an absurd political comment by a washed up Hollywood actress, nothing more. I dont need to attack the messanger, the message stands on its own as moronic. I felt some comic relief was in order.

She wrote a post about the cognitive abilities of the voting public.
You made fun of her movie roles.
Brilliantly entertaining? Sure. But attacking the messenger instead of the message, yes.
