You can get to the moon in 2 seconds

You can get to the moon in 2 seconds. That is how long it takes light to
travel the distance. What we are seeing on the moon actually happened two
seconds ago.

Barack Obama changed his mind in less than the time it takes light to
travel between the earth and the moon. Much of what he promised in his
presidential campaign of change has not been changed; it has been a
continuation of George W Bushs policies.

The job of running the government is about doing what needs to be done to
keep Americans safe. Of course there have been mistakes and differences
but nothing resembling the extreme change he promised his LEFT wing
constituency. And they're pissed.

That makes me not a bit unhappy to see a left wing which has always been
unfairly critical of Israel now very unhappy with their Mesiah.

Has Obama Morphed Into George W Bush?

In Accuracy in Media, "The Unhappy Left",
(http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/the-unhappy-left/) Don writes on May
17, 2009, Obama's "backing of Bush policies has the left wondering what
happened to the man they helped elect." And referring to an article in
Politico, Don quotes:

"Barely four months into his presidency, Obama is confronting growing
dissatisfaction among members of his liberal base, who feel spurned by a
series of his early decisions on issues ranging from guns to torture to
immigration to gay rights... The list got longer last week as Obama
reversed his earlier decision to release photos of detainees abused in
U.S. military custody and announced plans to try some terror suspects
before military commissions - though on the campaign trail he railed
against earlier versions of the tribunals. A few, like MSNBC's Rachel
Maddow, have even hurled the left's ultimate epithet - suggesting that
Obama's turning into George W. Bush."

On a personal note, politics bores me. Neither side; that is, neither end
of the wing nut spectrum has been credible.  In politics, the truth is
elusive.

Howevever, politics and American presidents are of little consequence in
the overall scheme of things. We are a very young species, and humanoids
have only been around about 200,000 years, a relative very short time for
a species. And, we'll go the way others have gone in spite of what
presidents or prime ministers do about nations and markets.

What is amazing is how much we know and how short a time we have known it
and for that matter how much we do not know. We are also insignificant in
the overall scheme of things. A tiny speck of life with a unique
perception that we exist and our larger brains motivate us to sustain
ourselves long enough so life doesn't become extinquished before we can
pass on our individual blueprint.

Space-time is a relative movement which seems normal but relies on a
self-centered, anthropomorphic perception and while life is perception, it
is not reality.

We are a speck - merely space dust. Our sun is among hundreds of billions
of stars in an island universe which is perhaps one of billions of
universes, and galaxies; ours is called the Milky Way - about 3/5th of the
way from the black hole in the center of the galaxy and we inhabit and in
our little space, in our little corner of one universe we will stay lost.
It is unlikely we will suvive long enough to ever meet other life like us.

So what and why does any of this matter?
