I hope writing  doesn't disappear. To write well you must be both lucid  
and capable  of independent analysis. Creativity helps. You can't write  
anything  worth reading that is illogical unless you are Dr. Seuss.  
Help your  kids to join the Elite. Buy them books not video games.  
Teach them  to think like public schools once did.

If you can't read you can't  write. Unfortunately, the same folks that  
gave us Amtrak and the US  Post Office have been educating children  
(except their own) for  several generations now. We may Dance With The  
Stars but the Chinese  will reach them before we do.

We are about to inaugurate a mystery man.  The majority of the American  
public. George Soros and Warren Buffet  aside, 99.8% of Americans,  
voted for Obama because he was  charismatic, and especially because he  
was black. I don't mind a  black president, hell I wrote Dr. Walter  
Williams urging him to run.  I just want a leader with a clear grasp of  
economic fundamentals.  The last one was Reagan. I propose a  
Constitutional Amendment  stating that prior to running for high office  
all aspirants must  have met a payroll.

Newspapers are closing because the cost of  obtaining information has  
dropped precipitously with the advent of  the internet. Concurrently,  
society has fractured into multiple  clusters with divergent interests  
and beliefs. Newspapers broadcast  (broad-publish?).

The traditional TV networks will go next. By  extension, it becomes  
easy to see that the Nation State, based on an  industrial hierarchal  
society, is going the way of the feudal  fiefdom. Islamofascists are in  
ascendency, because they are not  defined by geography, but a belief  
system, odious as those beliefs  may be. The true response to Israel's  
invasion of Gaza (which I  fully defend) is not local Hamas opposition  
but global rioting and  looting as seen January 10 in cities across the  
globe.

To  glimpse the future that seems to be coming read Neal Stephenson's   
stuff. Example here... go ahead; Look inside.    uk
