“schnarg” 3:09pm –

WHAT YOU WRITE* sounds TO ME more like the way some Germans felt in 1931-1932 about the leader who inspired them.

THAT’S NOT WHAT I WISH FOR AMERICA.

* “those of us who want CHANGE do not want somebody with experience, depth of character and understanding, hard-gained wisdom, or hard-nosed realism. The whole idea of CHANGE is antithetical to the “experience” motif. The CHANGE we demand necessitates electing a novice who is big on myriad, enormous ideas while short on even the most minimal ability to carry through with them, for the idea tends to get lost in the “carrying through” part, and the CHANGE comes up short every time. We want complete CHANGE, not cheap nickle and diming it with pragmatic micro-adjustments and adaptations.

Like Barry said, “Words have meanings.” And we intend to CHANGE the world, not with reliance any supposed “tried and true” method or truth, but with ideas and people, along with many, many words, that are entirely and completely alien from anything that resembles such stuff.”
