Super Bowl and Super Tuesday

While I have a soft place in my heart for the Pats, there is something about the underdog winning that also stirs excitement for me.

I think of the candidates today, Romney is my only hopeful. There are so many things wrong with Government these days... (not just ours in the US) that I sometimes wonder how many more years it will be before we have more World Wars or mass population changing events. Regarding the political parties, I just disagree with so many of the Democratic views... but then, I am not completely a right-winger either... Libertarian? ...sometimes... Maybe there is no right-way or wrong-way for our government. Maybe our current national state is all fate driven and regardless of how hard we try to instill competent leadership in the government, it is written in the stars and the cards for us to travel this self destructive path. Part of "God's Plan".... or Satan’s, who knows... but either way we have certain peril in our future until stabilization and balance with nature and resources has once again been achieved.

My wife is convinced that either the second coming or a comet will be changing our future between now and 2013. Self proclaimed Prophets, savants of the 1600's, or even the Mayan Calendar point to something.... but what it is? Sounds like the makings of a movie or book. Three parties survive Armageddon; the self sufficient survivalists (The Strong), Religious and principled (the Ant Farm), and the cannibalistic heathens that are willing to do anything for food or political power (the Rest). Who else would stand a chance in a global economic and energy meltdown? Even if you prepared for such an event, how long could you really hold out before the harsh new world overcame your preparations for disaster? A week, a month, or lets really stretch it and say a year?... Then what? Yep, back to the three remaining parties...

I think if I did survive, which would be my luck, I vote for ant farm. What ever the future holds, I would think that many would agree that things will not continue the way we are right now for much longer. Too much use and abuse of resources per/person... too much turmoil among the huddled masses. I sometimes find myself also wondering how many more years I will be able to just stand under a hot shower, or eat food grown naturally. The mass production of meat products today is just scary, and with genetic alteration of fruits and vegetables... who knows what effect that will have on us long term.

Speaking of long term effects... when are people going to start suing for radiation exposure due to proximity of radio emitting devices (cell phones, etc...). Maybe they really aren’t effecting our brains.. the cells on the sides of our head, and around our waists where we oft wear them. Maybe my hearing loss is completely due to loud music as a teen and just getting old. *shrugs* I wouldn't be surprised to have a renowned research group come forward in a big public release of information, reminiscent of the Tobacco industry smoking and cancer event.

Opp, conference call in 4 minutes.. gotta go!
