Corporate greed, personal greed, unreal expectation, unmitigated consumption, and narcissistic existence will ruin the west and rest of the world by proxy unless we the people wake up and begin the hard work of reconfiguring the political, economical and social system. The old format does not work, its time to reprogram!!! The three legs will have to be based on same principles and universal laws for it to work.

Do We Ever Learn From The Past?
Here we go again bunch of Republicans lined up to take over, they don't believe in science, no memory of free willy deficit spending of the two Bushes, one Reagan and Billy era that has piled on over $14 Trillion of dept for our children to deal with. The media whores are doing it again like they have done every 4 years since the peanut farmer Carter. Making it fun and exciting to debate whether global worming is biblical or how we are fucking ourselves. Can we take it from medicare, social security or tax the rich. They in the past thirty or so years talked about "JOBS" to come our nerves. The fucking real story with this sick economy is that there is no sustainable "JOB" to be had. Its like starting the physical therapy before fixing the fucking broken leg! The basic of the jobs are founded on barrowing from our future and not building on our present needs. You DO NOT engineer jobs!!
You can just create jobs without fixing the political, social and economical equation. Lets be clear this fucking mess we have is also not about some stupid corporations fight with people. The system is sick which has created the unreal expectation that we can be 5% of the world and continue to use over 20% of the world's resources.
I fucking give up!

Nation of Palestine
Lets stop this madness and let have Palestinians be recognized as a nation. US, EU and Russia are irrelevant as to aspiration of a people that have been lied to and manipulated for over 60 years. No more negotiations or discussions, the apartheid regime of Israel needs to either accept the basic human and nationalistic presents of Palestinians or be like Afrikaners. Its time to give Israel ultimatum to either leave the occupied Palestinian land or be sanctioned by UN members.
A viable Palestinian nation will top the Arab spring and enhance national security of US and Europeans nations. Iraq and Afghanistan shenanigans (aka revenge killings and oil rush) of Bush era can end, even though the unending pain of those (Afghans, Arabs, NATO, and Americans) that have been killed or injured will never end.

ARAB Spring - DOW Fall - OIL Winter - IMPERIAL Summer,
The problem is that we the people have been stupefied so much that nothing the elected have done since Reagan era is registering with us as fatally flawed. We borrowed and borrowed, continued with charging our lives with our national credit card. We were then sold on the notion that free market will save us all. Then we find free market is manipulated to protect "ICONS' of the economy, not so free market was it. The political/economical system now is essentially "Managed Market Economy" which means it will eventually fail like Communism if we continue living the "DREAM". It's time to demand for true market economy with basic "human rights" principles. Cut off the middleman and unwarranted profiteers. Let true free market be the driver. No EXCEPTIONS, no LOOPHOLES, no COMPLICATED TAX CODE, no CARBON EXCHANGE,......... Have clear laws that protects our global lives, health, planet, and human rights. That is the only role the government should have. Let right, left, ideals, and religion compete for audience without money behind them.

Arab Revival or Managed Project?
It is perhaps the organic Arab revival to overcome Colonial and Cold War manipulation along with people getting to the point now to demand prosperity and accountability from their leaders that is in works. Bur one thing s clear and that is there are lots of other external players of various size and means that are injecting themselves in the process. West, China, and Russia are all out there seeking an orderly (defined differently in various capitals) transition that does not disrupt OIL this extremely addictive product. The Israel factor in this environment is irrelevant and has no baring on the outcome. That is how it should be when you talk about a movement involving 500M people vs 6M Israelites.
It is clear that those players care less about Arabs or North African people and care more about their own survival and prosperity. We have seen how they have used human rights, freedom, and rule of law to further their objectives, even if at times the call is Genuine. Just few years ago they were calling the same people (by all account majority of the Arabs) Muslin extremists, terrorists, and violent people. The people of that region will be tossed around in the prevailing wind until they get their sails in order.
The movement will in my opinion pass the test and with lots of up and downs bring civil society based on Arab culture to the forefront. They will then be demanding a fair and equitable place at the global table. Until then we will witness pain, injustice, interference, manipulation, out right lies and deception locally and externally. The news media will be fed crap to report. Aljazira will try to Americanize the movement but there are so many sources of news that Arabs will quickly learn how to navigate through psych-ops, half baked news and real news. At the end they can quickly see if the change is producing results, that is "will they better off then or not". Same thing that actor from Hollywood asked Americans back in 1979 and became president.

US Budget Drama Its unbearable to see what US political system has de-evolved to. The fight over the budget on about $36B even though abortion and clean water act were involved when country is in such a deep doo doo makes rational reasonable people puke. But I guess we are running out of those people. The oil based economy, fiscal whoring, total waste of resources, drunkenness with consumption and lack of moral compass are the source of the issues but meanwhile politicians conduct politics like its 1970's. I don't think they realize cold war has ended and business as usual is no more. Iraq is still occupied - no war crimes trials yet Afghanistan is a mess with no end in sight Several hindered PEOPLE are illegally kept in Guantanamo Our friendly ARAB dictators are nice and keep buying our arms Israel continues to occupy Palestine Mexico is a mess South America is not America! Canadians don't like us

Media and Information Revolution
For over 20 years technology has continually enabled information and news to travel almost unimpeded from individuals to individuals. This of course had profoundly changed the developed world path forward but more importantly has sped developing and rest of the world arrival to influencing and imparting social, economical and political change. This process by no means will be nice and clean due compressed time lines for realizing change but non the less inevitable. Developing world will not necessarily follow a per-determined model devised in Washington DC, London or Paris, they will blaze their own trail. At times their local and national interests will be even be more divergent to developed world's interests. There will be lots of cased where Middle East, African South American people will ask why do we help them when there is nothing in it for us.
The days of massive arms sales to dictators and persuading them to follow our advisor' recommendations on social, economical and political discourse are numbered. The "rest of the world" is beginning to think for themselves and will demand equal presents at the table. No more building shit Air Bases, airports and highways that will not be used because some dick head king signs the contract. The west will have to now begin to earn every dollar they make over there.
