Time for a charismatic world leader to rise; if helped, this "experiment" might still be turned around.

Will have to get back in touch with the Obama camp; they might welcome a scientist/engineer who wants to create businesses/jobs (in northern CA to start, of course).

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

We don't need world leaders, we need good politicians who work for the best of their country and cooperate well with other countries.

I am also wary about the charismatic part - I would like good, decent and intelligent leaders.

Btw. according to my grand-father who was a socialist, Hitler was considered charismatic too and a terrific orator - and look what it got Germany and the world. So this is not something on the top of my list for what I expect from a good politician or leader.

True true.  But in America people have been dumbed down to such an extent that I am concerned that ONLY a charismatic leader will be listened to.  Along with being decent, intelligent, etc.

Will have to find where the food warehouses are in northern CA.  Those with access to food stores will have greater influence in a starving population.

Fran: Believe it or not, we're on the same side.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
