No one wants to talk but him

I always hit first and negotiated later. I figured that way they would understand my way was the most profitable for them. Of course my Mother had quite a different view that incorporated words of congeniality, compromise, eye to eye contact that had a mouth beneath that was smiling, a tone that was neither harsh nor weak. She went with the adage, "You can catch more flies with honey, than vinegar." She was the Lady, I was the wart hog.

Of course that was as far from my way of doing things as it is for Bush or Chaney and the rest of the buddy gang making money hand-over-fist from this stupid war, that is killing your kids and grandkids, stopping the linage of your family right here right now, because nobody is talking with out the mindset of control. Some think we are there for the oil, some think we are retaliating with force from 911, some think we are showing the world our patriotism, strength and united pride. From the looks of things, looks like we are showing our ass more than anything else. Personally I think we are there for the ancient artifacts. I know nobody will understand what I mean but that's ok.

McCain and cronies ridiculed Obama because he wants to talk to the opposing sides, to gain insight, maybe find a quiet way to stop this testosterone insanity. Show the world we don't have to rule the whole damn thing all at once. Maybe with a little common sense, a few well chosen words from a mind that has the ability to know a couple of big words, and a bit of humility from an extended hand, Who knows? I think we all agree at this point..........we can use a little honey in the pot.
