Obama Sparks Hope for the Future!

We all seem relieved, some even overjoyed, ecstatic, at this moment where the United States has truly lived up to its ideals. "Yes we can!" A statment of the belief that you can accomplish anything if you are willing to do the work necessary and the drive essential to steer the course it may have to take. Wherever you are, whether in North America, South America,Europe, Africa, Asia or Pacific nations, People felt the action of this election. So many people in the world had a reason to revel in the outcome. The hope that the United States would for once again be a leading nation that has the decision making power to treat the citizens of its country with urgency, care, dignity and humility; not just for wall street, the pundits, the upperclass, the richer societies, but for the county as a whole. Still, winter is coming and the times are not looking promising for the economic market ahead, but as they say, "if there's a will, there is way!" and I do believe that in winning the election, Barack knows how to invigorate people to get in touch with there desires and unravel positive wavelengths despite the overhang of misery and despair. This one's for America and there is no country happier at this moment. You can see the love cherished by its people, for the country that is the United States and is having the "ability to change" published in every newspaper, news shows, interview panel, guest show, political/economic/social magazine, in view, worldwide! The next thing is to put on the snowshoes to battle the elements of reality for the "climb is steep" and the cold is just beginning. Be with the man who recognizes the changes that must be universial in application and I will say it too, "Yes we can, yes we can!"

The rural adventures of a media breakdown

Did it really happen? How could we "trip" the fiber optics wire for a town that is home base for local businesses, shops and people; who've become so dependent on our outwards communication that our productivity almost stops in response to the accidental problem created.
Of course it wasn't that bad. Those that live in the rural areas, those places I call the last sector of modernization, can get by, but was the handling of it, a cause to realize how frail that system is? False news, rumors of national shutdowns, US election distorting, or problems resulting in a long repair time were all the stories that were quickly unveiled.
I was reminded of the massive power failure that happened when I lived in Toronto Ontario. There was worry, and definitely problems that were felt not only by businesses but by the people for whom transit failed, the streets were unlit, security was shut down. How did people deal with it? Some hung out in their local pub. Others dived into their personal actions. For some it was work, some it was play. They all had something non-electronic that they could and would find themselves doing things in differing ways. Now, if this rural episode had lasted longer to regain the communication needed, would we have no recourse of action to keep ourselves moving? Would we have gotten bitter with complaints and dissatisfaction at the "others" fault? I would say its healthier to remain somewhat humble about your place within society. Try to look for happiness within, regardless of changes or problems with modern communication, and then its a start to never be a slave to electronic media. We just "use" it.
