I started to write a post with the title 'Ahead of the Super Tuesday...' because of what I would call a low-key epiphany that dawned on me regarding the shape of things to come. But, time is always a spoiler taking me to places, keeping my hands full and keeping the world away from getting a glimpse of these important premonitions. Anyway, here I am....
Now that we are past the Super Tuesday, we all are witness to the fact that Mr. He Who cannot be named is amassing an almost unassailable momentum in One of two of the major parties' nomination battle in the USA. Yes, you heard me right! almost unassailable momentum!!! He is still far from that safe zone in terms of delegate count, but, boy! How amazingly he has adjusted his sail in the path of that 'wind of change'. Or, is it 'madness of change'!!!! I will let you decide.
This is probably one of those terrible times, when common people in their collective stupidity completely looses track. Now, many would argue somehow the people are always right in the end. Wrong! Fallacy!! Well, maybe most of the time. But, just like a game of chance, there comes once-in-a-generation moment, when people collectively make a blunder, price of which is dearer than a major earthquake. Examples are strewn all over history, I will not waste time by drawing parallels here. If you want, you can find easily. But, the funny part is politicians although generally divisive, bickering and prioritize self interest over all others have actually got sense of what terrible possibilities are afoot. Although generally more prone to making mistakes, politicians have actually got it right this time! Which can be seen in the more cautious way they are veering toward the crazy option or the slow pace of delegate count. But, the commoners? They are acting real cheap! As if they are bewitched like the kids of Hamelin! No amount of cautions, advice or lambasting is good enough to steer them from destruction. Like head strong kids, all advice to act otherwise are only fueling their speed downhill!
Someone can argue, who cares, let them face the consequence of their action. But, the problem is USA is the leader of the World. Whatever happens here impact the lives of other people, no matter whether they want it or not. Naturally the person who will lead this great nation (for at least 4 years) can cause irreversible changes to the lives of countless millions, with his or her action or inaction. So, the choice you are making or will make in primaries are not trivial decisions. Although some 'once-smart-doctors-now-politicians' think 4 years are a small enough time to do a test run on a political novice, but you should understand better. It is no time to play games. You still have time to reverse the trend, but only if you all collectively pull together; only if you decide to prove all skeptics like me wrong; and only if you decide to show that USA is the greatest nation on earth, because it has the greatest people on Earth!
