Poor choices
For a while now I was considering Obama as the lesser evil of the two main candidates. I don’t like McCain’s idea of subjecting ourself interest to some national greatness and I was worrying about the implication of such philosophy. But apparently Obama shares the idea that we are the servants of the state:
Tomorrow, Obama heads to Colorado Springs to “lay out his comprehensive national service agenda, which will create new opportunities for Americans to serve and direct that service to our most pressing national challenges.”
I never understood the appeal of Kennedy’s famous statement: “ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country” and I’m very worried about the unanimous agreement between the major candidates of the individual as a servant of the state. Our choices never looked so gloomy before…
