While parts of the world move forward profitably, the part of the world in which I live continues to argue and fight over small matters, facing higher unemployment and slow growth. Reminds me of the "house divided" speech by a former national leader:

I am dizzy with anticipation, holding my breath, waiting for someone to step forward and say we are neither Democrats nor Republicans but people of the same country who belong to the same species on the same planet. The time for pointing fingers is over. Time to make snap decisions and be willing to face the consequences. Leaders. Coaches. Mentors. Not squabbling political processors.
Imagine Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey joining together to say they're taking over the reins and driving this wagon, wiping away the mudslinging of Washington D.C. and moving us forward, joining forces with the rest of the planet instead of pushing everybody down to get ahead.
Oh well, time to wake up from that daydream and get back to work while trudging through all this donkey don't-doo flowing down the Potomac. Even my Mexican friends recognize the reticence of the leaders of this country to make progress. What if Central and South American countries formed their own EU (European Union, that is, or perhaps Estados Unidos II)?
