    Clarifying epiphanies

    Barack GorbachevBarack Obama is extraordinarily intelligent and yes he probably is the best man to be president right now... but that probably wont make a bit of difference. It is the system and the ideology on which it rests that are in a blind alley. When the people of a huge and powerful country think that the solution to their problems is a leader, that makes me very nervous.

    The United States is in a systemic breakdown and people think that Obama is going to fix it. It reminds me about how people in the West viewed Gorbachev before the USSR collapsed. Not Lincoln, not Gandhi, not FDR: Gorbachev.

    Gorbachev was and is a very decent and intelligent man who just happened to be standing on the bridge when the Titanic went down.
