That's the first option of Unity, which isn't Unity at all, it's indoctrination. Big difference!

That doesn't mean I am a complete pessimistic asshole either...I actually see the potential ineptitude of Obama bringing about the real decentralized bottom up activism and tumult needed to restore our Republic through tax revolts, mass demonstrations, etc. that we saw in the 1930s and 1960s that made the power elite step up and take notice of the concerns of us regular 'rabble'. What happens when the false messiah can't deliver? It will be interesting...

I don't think he will deliver much of anything at all, except the one thing that is important, which is empowerment, as Verk said. It seems that we might have a President on our hands that actually WILL listen to the masses and enable change to occurr without riots and tax revolts. I don't know for sure, but it's just a future that I choose to see. If not, then count me in on the next Tea Party.
