I hope my comment on the tagboard to the left doesn't offend anyone. Wait, sure I do. It's true. While I am in the worst predicament a voting man could be in during an election year, I still gotta call it like I see it. I have been living through "change." I've seen my hometown change, my high school alma mater change, my band change and my mental state change. All of this "change" has been brought about not by intelligent redesign, not thoughtful debate and reconstruction, but by something as trivial as me wearing blue socks with sandals. I have seen this great "change" send our schools not only into academic distress, but trust me, by the end of this year, fiscal distress. This has to do with one thing, and one thing only. Ignorance...and when I say ignorance, I mean ...well, ignorance.
I have been lucky throughout the years to have heeded my grandfathers advice. "If you aren't the smartest guy for the job, at least be smart enough to hire the smartest guy for the job." So yeah, I have luckily hired, lured or Shanghai'd the best, brightest and most talented people to help with my world domination. Unfortunately, a lot like AIG and Lehman's, my school district has not. True, they did hire me... Geez... what a bunch of losers. They also hired the wrong administrators. Administrators who have neglected or ignored the fact that we have fallen into an academic quagmire. The "change" that has happened here is a microcosm of the big "change" that is happening elsewhere in the country. The "change" that I fear is coming is one of smug indemnity. Unfortunately we humans very rarely look into our own houses first. Hey, I think we left a child behind... No, that was just aunt Ludie.
So my comment to the left is just as it seems. I believe that Obama is not the perfect candidate for president. Not that McCain is either, but as my Live Space's buddy Rick's 14 year old daughter put it "No. I still think McCain is better. We don't know what we're getting with Obama".
