Glass half full?!? If the latest free trade position, recently leaked, negotiated by the President's team doesn't wake up the rest of the liberals to realize that the choice in November is really between two mounds of jagged, shattered glass, then nothing will. It really doesn't matter who wins in November. All of the existing problems will continue to get worse - just maybe at somewhat different rates of speed.



Pain is a sobering thing, though. So the good news here is that the sooner we face-plant the nation onto the canyon floor, the sooner the national pain is spread widely enough to help a critical mass of the population to focus on our real problems.



Right now we have two parties subservient to the established wealth and power structure (one is in thrall of it while the other is terrified of it). Until someone rises to challenge that structure - or until something drastic from the bottom up shatters that structure - we all freefall together in slow-motion, regardless of who we vote for.
