Does "power" always eventually trump "immoral", "obvious" and "vengeful"
It seems to me that no matter how simple-minded and immoral a President we have (Lt. AWOL for instance), we (the USA) will succeed because we have more power than anyone else in the world. Amazing isn't it? - no matter what sort of stumbling ignorant buffoonery this fake cowboy does, we will succeed anyway due to our "power". It's kind of funny almost - Dumbya has proven that even a complete utter idiot can run our country - and even though almost nothing is going right for him, we just keep plodding along like a giant rolling lead ball whose course can only be changed ever so slightly. Will there be a point when the momentum is sufficiently pointed in the wrong direction where we won't be able to get it rolling in the right direction without having it flatten everything in it's path for a period of time?

Just musing out loud here...

1. As a whole yes but a lot of elderly, children, and good get messed up
in the end. You may not see it now but in a few years it will have distroyed lives. Makes you wonder why we need a president though sometimes.

2. I can see the ball rolling off the path now, it just seems like the
majority have to see human lives destroyed before taking note. It's like the average American plans about as well as Dumbya did in Iraq and thinks that's OK. Somehow they are immune to the signs that somethings wrong - ie thousands of dead and destroyed lives...

Does Good always prevail against Evil?

5. Does good always prevail against evil? I believe so.
It sometimes takes evil playing it's trump card (fear) and eventually finding out the people get tired of being afraid and eventually realize they've been duped by the Devil again (in this case the Smirking Chimp).

it takes time and patience i guess, but I have to have faith that Good will prevail.
