With the midterm elections fast approaching, one would hope the Democrats (as well as progressive liberals!) would be canvassing their neighborhoods and working to get out the vote. After the last elections, the Democrats set up a website to counter Republican accusations and misunderstandings.
Recently a new application for Android phones was released called VoterMap (http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/news_and_weather/votermap_jxon.html). It provides anonymous political discussion throughout the country, even the globe. It is apparently dominated by right wing idealogues spewing Faux News Talking Points.

It was not so many decades ago that news organizations cared about human beings. The corporate media of today can no way be compared with the press of years gone by.

Last night the United States Senate authorized the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Fresno, California, wiping the city and its inhabitants off the map. The vote came up three times the and party with the majority of seats was unable to stop it. Meanwhile, the press kept the Senate’s debate over the issue so far on the back burner that few Americans even knew about it.

Today we have before us the opportunity to change the course of the nation. Over the past eight years so many dreadful things have happened - Guantanamo, the War(s), the economy, the Patriot Act, the respect of the rest of the world - where do we begin?

This is my first dairy, ever. I am new to the blogosphere, an old coot of 61 who has just about figured out the meaning of life. In a nutshell, we are on this earth to discover who we are. Ultimately we must decide if we are going to lean towards being selfish or selfless.
At the polar extremes of selfishness and selflessness we have people like Adolph Hitler and Mother Theresa. Most of us are in between the poles, but we tend to be oriented in one direction or the other. The self serving among us like to "look out for number one" while the selflessly oriented make it a priority to help others. Many in the middle of the spectrum exhibit both traits - they'll give a dollar to a homeless person but drive home aggressively later on. Eventually it dawns on the soul that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive (or more profitable to bolster ones income at the expense of the welfare of others), and over time our orientation becomes clear.
Our political classifications reflect this view.
