Obama's Laser

This morning's CBS News Headlines has featured that "Obama Lashes Back At Bush, McCain". However, the most appropriate headline would have been as follows:

Obama Laser Back At Bush, McCain.

Opportunistic Society

Slip (slip of tongue) has been considered a very revealing psychological phenomenon about a person's important unconscious belief and persona. The following quote is very telling indeed. President Bush's unconscious mind is honest, and appears to be revealing the true nature of our society.

"The public education system in America is one of the most important foundations of our democracy. After all, it is where children from all over America learn to be responsible citizens, and learn to have the skills necessary to take advantage of our fantastic opportunistic society".*

--George W. Bush
05/01/2002

In his Dry drunk like behavioral symptoms Mr. Bush some times reveals what he truly thinks of the United States of America as a society.

An Evolving Brain And Political Selection/Mutation Phenomenon

Briefly, brain has and continues to evolve through selection and mutation evolution. Brain is an evolving matter mass which experiences sense, converts sensory experience into perceptual meaningful domains, and amalgamates sensory and perceptual experiences into consciousness. The evolving brain mass is what it is: an evolving experiencing matter mass. This mass is evolving within the contextual mass of the universe. As the mass of the universe evolves (changes) so does the brain mass. Therefore,...... today's or this moment's conscious experiences based on current brain mass are not going to be exactly the same conscious experience again in the future, or for that matter in the next moment (future in shotest possible time). Each sensory, perceptual, and experiential consciousness in of itself is an evolving experience which is evolution (a differing proposition than traditional theoretical constructs). In short, evolution has a contextual mass, an evolving brain mass, and evolving brain mass's experience within the contextual mass.

Human brain as it has evolved has developed varied forms of skills and competence including language. Language is used in evolution experience including to communicate, to name, explain, conceptualize, engage in imagination, and in discourse about explained and unexplainable sensory, perceptual, and experiential consciousness. In evolution, individual and collectively the mass of individual experiences have converged into varied forms of cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor knowledge (knowing about varied phenomena) and of skills (know hows). All forms of experience, knowledge, and know hows are in of themselves part of evolution phenomenon.

Given the above premise, the political discourse and election process is in of itself an evolution phenomenon. The political discourse and election process have evolved as an evolution phenomenon. The candidates and electorate play a significant role in the selection/mutation evolutionary phenomenon, don't they?.

And the hope is that the brain that comes out of this process is not mutilated, deformed, ethnocentric, and xenophobic.

Naivete And Inexperience And Reckless And Lack of Judgment of John McCain

Senator McCain has been on this planet for the last 71 years. He has been on Foreign Relations Committee for a long time, yet he does not know the difference between Shia and Sunni. He does not know whether Shia or Sunni are being trained by Iran. He made reckless judgment in error in voting for Iraq war at the time when Senators like Bob Graham and like minded senators raised serious questions. Senator Barack Obama's judgment turn out to be superior in comparison with senator McCain's naivete and inexperience and reckless and lack of judgment.

To make conditions worse, senator McCain surrounds himself with lobbyist who support dictators and military junta rulers like in Myanmar, and in his naivete Mr. McCain believes if he does that... that helps building America's image around the world as an advocate of democracy and human rights. These are just few yet critical samples of senator McCain's naivete and inexperience and reckless and lack of judgement.

There are individuals who make mistakes and learn, and then there are those who exemplify their incompetence due to chronic naivete and inexperience and reckless and lack judgement. Any questions regarding Senator McCain's naivete and inexperience and reckless and lack judgment.

Socio-political Perceptions, Projections, And Prejudices

It's election year. It has been a long election year that really started last year. Well, no it really started a year before with congressional election. Just think of it, it had not stopped since the last presidential election.....or for that matter since supreme court appointed our president.

During a continuous spinning election cycle electoral socio-political perceptions become muddled with their self projections combined with their insecurities with which comes the fear that justifies everything to bearers of prejudicial human brain ----evolved or created does not matter--- including xenophobia along with technicolor dose of other varied prejudices such as race and gender just to name a few. It's a justified, in psychological terms a rationalized, and ending in political warfare arena.

In a broader spectrum the national and international political war fares of all kind turn into a competitive drama among competitors (friends and foes alike) to justify whose prejudices are superior. In the name of their socio-political justified prejudices humans continue to subjugate whomever they could, and collectively wage wars against each other...............And then we hear ethical, moral, and religious sermons of all kinds to justify our ill doing, aren't we smart?

Xenophobia

Xenophobia (irrational fear or hatred of others (foreigners) and religiosity baggage are dreadful diseases promulgated by our psycho-social and biological insecurities, and from time to time spread by individuals and groups to achieve their political, religious, and economic agendas to name a few.

During election year xenophobia and religiosity become tools to distract electorate from key issues such as education, tax, health, alternate energy and industry, and a robust inclusive foreign policy which promotes human rights and protects the planet earth from pollution. It is important that the candidates reveal themselves and explain their views. The candidates do some explaining during primaries and general election. The challenge lies with the electorate to sort out what is being said and meant. Equally it is important that the electorate do their self examining and explain themselves with personal self analysis or better with some professional help their xenophobia and religiosity baggage that they themselves may harbor. Should electorate fail to understand their affinity with xenophobia and religiosity then as a consequence most likely they will surround themselves with those who will use xenophobia and any other irrational fear and religiosity to achieve their political goals which may not be in electorate's self interest.

So....what's it going to be folks .... Are we going to be controlled and used by xenophobia mongers? Or are we going to understand the nature and the debilitating conditions of xenophobia and religiosity baggage and save our democracy (by the people, for the people..) from xenophobia mongers?.

A Passion Vs Passion of John Edwards

"How can anyone run for Democratic nominee for president and not have a universal health care plan? This is a huge, huge difference and I feel passionate about".

__ Hillary Clinton
Children's Hospital in Portland, Ore
May 9,2008

The devil lies in detail including the affordability and the mandatory imposition of a plan of which Mrs. Clinton is so passionate about. It seems that it is the plan she is passionate about not necessarily health care.

So far Mrs. Clinton's passion has been to win at all cost. Mrs. Clinton's passion has been winning a political war by 3 a.m calls and generating fears similar to Goldwater fear mongering. Mrs. Clinton's passions are varied. The worse of all her divisive political passion of playing race and gender cards of all shapes, colors and class. Mrs. Clinton could be a diva but she isn't, has potential which she is destroying by minutes, hours and days...

During this election period Mr. John Edwards was with real passion. If there is anyone whose passion, ideas and ideals needs to be recognized during Democratic nominee process should be of John Edwards passion to eliminate poverty from America, and for that matter even better democratic party and democratic candidates for all posts need to generate a passion to eradicate poverty from the planet earth.

There is a difference between political passion and the passion that matters.
