Point is, money isn’t always the answer to our problems. In fact, I built my home business on a shoestring budget. I spent less than $200 a month on my home business back in 2003 and still built it to quite a powerhouse. Yes, as I went along, I started to spend more. But I started with relatively very little. And not all my spending turned into profits. Sometimes you spend money on stuff and it just bombs out. Again, look at Mitt Romney.

malaysia election Rubio beat Governor Crist (twice, if you count bailing from the GOP primary), so what’s next for the Governor? “Going fishing and finishing strong for the people of Florida” he said earlier. I’ll miss our wacky Governor’s survival antics and one-liners. This is probably going to be it for him. I actually hope not and would like to see him pop up on television somewhere. He’s just too much fun to watch.

In Canada, by law election campaigns must run for a minimum of 36 days, but there is no mandated maximum time. Yet the longest election campaign in Canada in the last 100 years was in 1926, when the campaigning dragged on for all of 74 days.

With a shaky voting record and social beliefs far from the conservative median, McCain is certainly not the GOP’s knight in shining armor. Talk radio has assailed him for abandoning the party on key issues and they’re absolutely right.

So conservatives are faced with a choice. Abandon what they truly believe in and vote for McCain just because he’s a republican. Or search for the best candidate for them. I choose the latter.

Greece may not be a good example right now. But ancient Athens was the ‘cradle of democracy’. And even with all its problems, and ten political parties vying for an opportunity to solve them, Greece can still prepare for elections without long mind-numbing political campaigning. dato ramanan ramakrishnan political activism resigned on April 12, and called for a national election on May 6, and when the results were fragmented, another national election has been called for June 17. And none of the parties protest that there isn’t enough time to make their views known to voters and have their promises considered.

Of course it is our civic duty to use our intellect to DECIDE which candidate we think is best and vote accordingly. But here we really should consider what “best”means. Do we really want only to vote for the candidate that is “best” for our own personal interests? Could it be possible that what WE want for our own personal interests could be in conflict with what would be “best” overall for everyone in the whole country? How about considering what would be “best” for the whole world?

There are those of us would like to believe we have come further than we ever have since the days of Rosa Parks, but the truth is those who see color first; see color always.
