People’s minds have become too tired to be reasoned with. Perception of attitude has yet again prevailed as the attractive attribute of leadership. To use a debate to promote winners and losers is to disband the critical awareness necessary to understand what is really happening. The one who can create rational is not as important as the one who creates direction. Also, the moderator must realize and demonstrate his power to both the candidates. This is why, the moderators need to be those of independent parties. Someone who is themselves empowered to take on the role of a president, or someone who has already taken the role of president. What people need to see is the bridging of ideas. A great leader will find ways to cross barriers of communication to discover unity. A common force is more powerful than a divided one. Yet we like to watch ego battles and determine winners. How lame. The real tests of a person’s character are their choices in life. The way they address the challenges that life throws in their way will give a demonstration of resolve. Ultimately, must our philosophical differences cause our common goal of a successful nation to fail? Republicans and Democrats, they have their own vested interests. That is what they should be honest about. The debate format must change - “who do you work for, and what do you support?” of course the answer would be the American People and American Values. But that is not the whole truth. The truth is these people are figure heads. They are not well versed in understanding anything more than what they have read, heard, and sometimes experienced. Life itself is so vast that no one man can ever understand every aspect of it. So we depend on support staff to clarify issues. This is where the candidate must be pressed to reveal – especially when they choose to hide behind a justification – “who do you owe favors to?” This is important because it will determine the next 4 years of presidency and maybe more. Their political platform is a transient parlor show – resulting as mostly fiction. Their perspective on various issues is a shadow formed by their dance in the spotlight. The tactic is always to promote the interests of their fellow man. Yet, which president could truly fulfill noble intentions, especially when aligned or affiliated with some commercial interests? Keep in mind, the system does not allow for moral regulation of commerce. Moreover, the allocation of resources has always been mismanaged. Think about the butchers from back in the day, they might save the best cut of meat for their friends and family. This kind of favoritism is ever-present in human nature. Globally, nepotism has survived all our advances. The reality of Chinese debt collectors is a necessary phenomenon to maintain Global economic relationships. Interdependence among nations is vital to sustain a global system. The regulation of national relationships will be the next step to coordinate global economy. They current repercussion of creating one value system for the entire world is the failure of the Euro. Different nations are in different developmental stages. Therefore their productivity will reflect the infrastructure of the nation. So what do you all think?
