First of all, let me say that Obama - y'all deserve the right to compete for the brass ring like any other American. Best of luck . . . and I hope you don't get assassinated like JFK was. Nevertheless, simply out of a sense of civic duty (I get the same concern for my neighbors when I hear that a twister is comming) I feel I must warn people to prepare for the worst.

There could be quite a big puplic outcry if this man is assasinated and that (riots and stuff) could cause problems with normal society the same way any other natural disaster could. So therefore - start saving water. Save up some food, too because both food and water may not be as plentiful as they are right now . . . for a week or two. Start working out . . . aerobics are a very good idea and so is some bulk if you can swing it. Plan an escape route from your house that's easy for your family to follow (if you live in the city).

We have lots of water and food here in OUR mansion because we live near tornado alley. Oh - and make sure your medical kit is full. You know how it is when you're out of band-aids and you borrow from the emergency kit and then forget about it. Make sure everything you need is there and ready to use.

So be prepared. Stock up and (if possible) bulk up. Tell your neighbors to do the same. If we start treating every disaster (like a terrorist attack - remember that Iran has a nuclear program now) like a flood or an earthquake we won't be as shocked and surprised by them and we'll roll with the punches much more efficiently. Let's get going, now. It's really your civic duty.

Um, that's good advice for any situation , but that's awful to think (or rather assume) that Obama would be assassinated if elected President. God, that would be horrible! I'm not going to divulge my political beliefs on this thread (or anywhere), but I would feel terrible if any President were to be assassinated.

What we really need is a force field that repels bullets for every President making a speech. No President wants to be behind glass all the time - you loose the human touch. Sociologically and psychologically - the problem is that America is still very xenophobic and racist. To quote Jerry Garcia, "That's the nature of America - the big America" . . . which is true of course because the colonies started racist. People always love Lincoln and call the rebel (Confederate) flag racist . . . but the good old stars & stripes (regular American flag) was waving over the backs of slaves long before the Confederacy made its push for states rights . . . the South lost and the all-powerful Federal government we have today is the result.

Liberals (like Obama) need to get it together. They're constantly side-stepping because while they hate the idea of the Bush police state . . . they still hate, "Rednecks" . . . and the Deomocratic Party started as a party that just represented poor people - White Southern Democrats who didn't like Big Brother. Liberals hating THAT is a contradiction that is constantly blocking their efforts to give power to the people.

I don't want to see another President die . . . but I guarantee you that Obama would rather be a martyr than a coward. If you told him that you were pretty sure that he was going to be killed by some racist dummy he would go ahead and still become President. I love that about him.

I'm going to go ahead and keep exposing the truth behind racist concepts and I'm going to keep educating people about all of these concepts that we found out about during WWII. My belief is that every idea is a good one (even a racist idea) . . . it's just that humans often get an idea half right and don't go deep enough. As a Christian I believe Rome was like that and that's why they were the most brutal state in history. They should have listened to Christ and his spiritual warrior stuff.

The truth is always waiting if you go deeper. It's very Zen Buddhist and cool . . . the whole spiritual warrior thing . . . and believe me - savage brutal (racist) behavior has no place in the temple. It really disrupts the meditation.

Still - if people are going to over-react to Obama getting shot there will be consequences and reprocussions. Two wrongs don't make a right. We need to fix these sociological problems in our society . . . not just vent our frustrations in a ham-fisted way. In general - humans aren't paying enough attention to art and science . . . which is dumb because if you study history the art always tells you what a society is doing. It's like art is the newspaper and if you don't read it you are just ignorant of the current events. It's like being blind.

People can be dumb lol. Willing ignorance is a serious obstacle for us.

The point of my first post was just to tell people that we can predict what is going to happen this time. If we actually bend our ear to the facts we won't be surprised by the violent outburst and have a chance to deal with it logically.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If people would actually use their brains and prepare for disaster much trajedy could be averted . . . perhaps lives could be saved . . . and saving lives is what I do because I'm a health care professional.

So take 2 Buddhism books and call me in the morning, my child. Take a chill pill. Don't forget to purchase a candle as soon as possible as a meditation aid. Sometimes I'd rather administer thorazine to the general public - but phillosophy and meditation can help if people actually do it. Om mani padme hum . . .

Was there rioting after JFK was shot?

Iran's been given a deadline to stop their nuclear program or face international action. They have two weeks.

You're honestly saying it's not probable that there will be if Obama dies? That's just Loony Tunes - but I'm sure that many people agree with you.



. . . and yet most liberals think that Bush is dumb for not going after loose nukes in the Soviet Union. There could be tons of briefcases loaded with a surprise all destined for U.S. cities by now. Iran doesn't care if it gets shut down after its job is done.

I was asking a question, not stating an opinion.

There were no riots after JFK was shot, but the cases are not paralel. Obama is more like MLK to African Americans than he is like JFK . . . and we all know what happened when Martin Luther King was shot.
