I do think that Hillary will do a good job. No, she is not perfect at all, but she is serious and she knows what is at stake.
If Clinton isn't our next president I will be very surprised. I base this on the observation that we don't live in a Republic (let alone a democracy). We live in an oligarchy masquerading as a Constitutional Republic. It isn't who votes that counts, its who counts the votes... and who can count the votes, or re-count them if need be, when they're all just bits and bites in a data stream? We're given the President THEY (not we) need. If it also works out that this helps nurture the illusion of participatory politics, so much the better.
But I agree with Frank Zappa who once said,
Actually Mr Zappa had a lot of cool things to say. Since I quote him in my sigline, I might as well post a few more of his one liner's just for yucks. Most young people have never heard of him...
