It's a lethargy and it has been, in part at least, inculcated by some quite unscrupulous types. There is so much distraction, deceit and manipulation today that it's become an artform (think Lee Atwater/Karl Rove) that works best at keeping the public cowed, confused and disengaged. Yet I remain convinced that solid, powerful political leadership can pull the public out of that mental quagmire.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-31683865224266592142010-07-14T17:15:06.403-07:002010-07-14T17:15:06.403-07:00Well, I've been active politically at the muni...Well, I've been active politically at the municipal level and I've rarely seen the better candidate win. The populist one that promises does seem to win. It is from that perspective that think that lofty goals will not win the day. <br /><br />You see, I do agree with what you'd like, but experience has shown that common sense rarely triumphs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-59711191000617052152010-07-14T10:05:25.297-07:002010-07-14T10:05:25.297-07:00The problem with Canadian voters is the fact that ...The problem with Canadian voters is the fact that they do NOT think of their country first. It is me first. If we only realize when a country is healthy and able to educated themselves without worry, is when we will thrive.

To accept it is to accept the inevitability of failure and I find that a bit premature. I share your pessimism but that still can't bring me to a nihilistic outlook. People, well led, can achieve great things. It's a leadership void that's dragging us down.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-37322632579021958342010-07-13T16:56:28.801-07:002010-07-13T16:56:28.801-07:00I don't think that the electorate cares about ...I don't think that the electorate cares about anything big. Sure you can introduce a big idea/change but what they care about is $. <br /><br />All politics are local and the Conservatives are good at that. <br />The electorate are stupid sheeple and to hope that they will rise above that is folly. You need a leader that will play upon that yet be able to transcend that once elected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-50040653617595175152010-07-13T15:08:44.946-07:002010-07-13T15:08:44.946-07:00The US will secure access to our water one way or ...The US will secure access to our water one way or another.
