More of the Same?

I've read articles about how President Obama is adopting or adapting several of W's more controversial stances, like holding enemy combatants indefinitely, state's secret, etc. But is the president actually holding on to those ideologies or does he recognize that sweeping changes can cause catastrophe. Look at the sweeping change that happened in Iraq. Look at the sweeping change that happened in Russia, Yugoslavia, South Africa. Whether the longview is good or bad by Western standards, sudden change almost certainly spells disaster for any social structure. Tantamount to a hurricane or tornado.

Peace!

SURPRISE!

I found out Thursday that a guy I work with is sending distasteful anti-Obama emails to another guy I work with. The recipient told me that some of them cross the line and he asked the sender to stop sending them. Now, for a little context, the recipient has shares with me all kinds of off color jokes and videos, so if he says they're over the line, then I believe it. It's like Karl Rove saying McCain went too far, or Satan saying Rove went too far. Most of them aren't about his policies, but about his skin color. (I say skin color because I don't believe in race and I'm trying not to use it anymore. It's a word of convenience.)

Anyway, now I look at the sender with totally new eyes. I'm wondering who else he sees as less than.

I almost wish I didn't know about his political views, but I'm glad, because now I can fuck with him and he won't know why.
