On Saturday morning, a Q&A brunch with Keith Ellison (MN-05) was held at my apartment building in Minneapolis. I had never gone to a function like this before, a function with a politician speaking to a group. There was only 25-30 people there and it was a crowd friendly to Keith. Prior to this, I had seen him speak on TV, and radio, and read things he has written. He already has had my vote, and is going to get it this year. I went to see how he is in person, and what he has to say in this setting. I am even more impressed with him, and what he had to say reassured me that my vote for him is a good one.

When I ask, "Is this the meaning of life?", I am not asking about individuals, but as human beings, as a society. Maybe I am asking too big a question, but I think it might be appropriate after watching and reading about the Republican National Convention.

What does the question mean?
Is it a decision between Romney and Obama for me? No.
Is it a decision between Obama and someone else, more than likely Green Party candidate Jill Stein? Yes.
Why is this decision so difficult?

Why is perfection not important? Because we are human, and to poorly quote an 80s song, "I am only human. Of flesh and blood I am made. Born to make mistakes". That being the case, no matter what system(s) we employ it will not work perfectly. Whether the system is education, infrastructure, health care, safety, etc. It will have flaws in it. It will have flaws because it will be designed by people, run by people, and it will be for people. Whatever system we employ, we can only hope to improve it with time and try to work towards helping the most people and provide the most benefits to society as a whole. Maybe this is the meaning of life to a certain extent. The goal of humans is to work towards providing systems that provide the most benefits to all, and progress the race as a whole.

Bush is back, and this time to give you his Strategies for Economic Growth, because we all know how well that went and we need to know, in detail, how he can help us.

This is my first submission. Some thoughts I put together on education and the value of government assistance to education, based on my personal experience.
