Sarah Palin

The media keep asking if Sarah Palin will run for the office of U.S.Presidency in 2012.A typical question about her is whether she is qualified or competent to be the Commander-in-Chief.

My opinion is this: Sarah Palin is not qualified or competent to be the U.S.President, but then compared to whom ? If we use George Bush as a standard for comparison, then many people, including Sarah Palin,should be able to do a better job than Bush. If we use Hillary Clinton for comparison, then Sarah Palin is way behind in knowledge, qualifications, experiences and competence.

The office of the U.S.Presidency is not an easy job.The person who holds this office cannot think,talk and act only in narrow,limited,parochial,personal,or local ways.The job is not just about protecting yourself, your family, your friends, your local community, your political party, your state, or even the whole America.It has to go beyond, as the world has already become a global village, in which all nations are inter-connected socially, culturally, economically, politically and in so many ways. China's rising is certain, but America's decline is not. These 2 great countries, plus others, must rise up and work together, for the benefit of Planet Earth and the whole humanity.

The problem with Sarah Palin is that she has moved out of the political box, and moved into the celebrity box. She has quit her job as Governor of Alaska and become a well-paid author, speaker, celebrity and sort-of diva. No doubt she is a pretty mama,but to be the U.S.President? For money and fame, she'll continue to have an easy ride, but for political power and prestige, I don't think it will be that easy for her to be a "come back kid". All said, Sarah Palin is not a stupid person, so no one should completely write her off.

I heard rumors that Dick Cheney would consider running for the office of U.S. Presidency in 2012. Oh No, please ! I would rather have Sarah Palin over Dick Cheney, wouldn't you ? Sorry Sarah, if you compete with Hillary for political office, I predict that you will lose !

Love and Peace to all, even to you Bush and Cheney ! To borrow a Christian saying " We hate your sins, but we love you the sinners!". Repent and stop torturing and killing people !!!

Infinite Time and Space

By all means look for the next door, but stop searching for the first or last door, and you will gain wisdom and peace.

There is no beginning and no end. Time and Space are the same piece of gum, however you chew it, which is infinite !

As Carl Sagan suggested, instead of believing in god or gods, why not save a step and accept that this universe has always existed.

God believers are like children watching a magic show, believing that something came from nothing and appeared from nowhere, which could not be the real truth. Something would not have come from nothing. Even the magician was also something, who could not have come from nothing.
