Obama astray?

I have read and stuidied Marx but my position has nothing to do with Marx. It would be like saying that Lao Tze was a pre-marxist. Which would be an idiocy. As for my being pathetic and immoral… Please leave these things aside in favor of respect. I am moral (or immoral) in my own tormented way.

I think the issue is that he can't just sit by and watch. Kucinich also has this motivation. Not everyone feels content just watching the world crumble as they do nothing.

I highly doubt the system in Washington is impossible to fix. The US Constitution was written to provide means that if a large enough majority wanted it, any change in government necessary could be made to deal with issues at hand. While this has both it's pros and cons, it's pros highly outweigh the cons.

The largest problem is to get changes made is convincing people to stop pointing fingers about who's fault the problem is, and instead just deal with the issues at hand.

Personally, there is only one philosophy I take, and due to it's vagueness, all others I study to put in it's context. It is the simple original Christian philosophy of "love one another as yourself" that so many self-proclaimed Christians ignore in favor of the "eradicate evil" philosophy that dominates the world.

I only agree that the worst evil is made by professional or fanatical evil eradicators. From Bush to Benny Hynn and people of their stock.

Yes, it's high time people learn that no gun can kill evil. Evil is an idea, not a person.

I think this is the basis for most people in public-service oriented jobs. Even people who go learn CPR just for the sake of knowing it. Once the situation arises that could benefit from their skills, they feel better for having the knowledge and putting forth effort to make things better.

The leaders of our planet face a number of issues - it's hard to know if they're truely greater today than in the past. I get the impression that Obama wants to be president because it poses a challenge to solve these problems and that he genuinely wants to help.

Working with and within the true nature of things, action without action, is not the same as to "do nothing." Otherwise Lao Tse would never have opened his big piehole to start with.

Sitting back and doing nothing may work for you, or for someone else. But if everyone sits back then the world does crumble, commerce crumbles and then we all starve. Even so many people are just not content sitting back doing nothing and I think Obama is one of those people. He feels it his duty to try to create change. So that's what he is doing acting on his own priniciples much like you act, or write, about yours. We're all different. If we were all alike the world really would fall apart.
