Enough said about me, the world is moving

Enough said about me. There is this idea that shallow people complain a lot and tend to describe things as they see it, those who are mid-level in processing think only of people and their issues, and those of brilliance think of ideas, of criticism to the status quo or to concuct a plan towards the utopian world---the better life. It is a shame that I go on minding my life and dimensions of it. For now, let us say my preoccupation is my occupation.

That should do it for the cliche section.

Sure some of our better scholars, those with tenured experience on and off the field, say the Clash of Civilizations by Samuel Huntington is something to laugh at or give less academic credit---perhaps dismissing it somewhere between pure speculative work or some untoward vision of the world.

Ah but with the way the world is throwing itself into the abyss---the abyss not even Jeffrey Sachs can plainly put forward in his narration of world poverty, it seems to me that Huntington had a knack for correct prediction when he wrote the piece.

Why so? Look around. Digest, if you may, the bloodshed from chaos around. It may have crossed your mind that seemingly isolated conflicts can lead to regional friction due to misunderstanding and impatience. Add a bit of ideological stupidity and inhumane justification to a course of action, you have conflict on a grim note. Imagine, if you can, the United States and all her supposed allies thrown into a diplomatic trap of fighting a multi-front war against the North Korean axis, and the Arab world (who gladly consider themselves as one).

Then perhaps vex your faculties dear friends and put a suspicious China, always bearing a nationalist agenda more than a heart for multilateral treaty with the world ,being tossed into the mix. You have an unheard of alliance of China and the Arab world against the concept of Western supremacy, highly unlikely but remotely possible. If they're that driven to bring down a hegemon with good reason, it appears this is the avenue. Uh oh, didn't a man named Samuel Huntington write something resemblant of this model before? Can it happen? Maybe not in our lifetime, maybe when there's enough stagnation and uncertainty in the great bald eagle and there's capability on economic and military might for the red dragon.

Sure, it's all too realist. But the possibility of such goes beyond any fickle approach to international politics. Events as they happen are stronger proof than theories yet untested and subject to exceptions. Events, not theories, define history dear friends.

Just maybe.

Consider me a half-hearted fool for proposing a mode of leadership that is more center-right than anything else. Let me state my bias. I am for a strong leadership fused by military might and political will, complemented by a meritocratic bureaucracy. I am for rules and laws that equip this strong rule--somewhat authoritarian, yet still democratic. Singapore? Perhaps but something more. I am for a benevolent ruler who is able to lead a benevolent wing of leaders and is able to train a benevolent generation to pass the torch to. I am for the benevolent right. Now, am I subscribing to something as fancy and sheepish as divine right of rulers? I'm not. But you get me.

I am for a Kingdom of Heaven. Haha! Seriously, I am for my utopia. I think no one less than God himself can best be fit for perfect rule. Anything that can come close to the Kingdom of Heaven is my kind of utopia. A kingdom of conscience or nothing. One where a charismatic ruler is overseer of an egalitarian order...one of rules...one of proper and decent, let alone moral standards...one of liberal economic policies...one that fashions power in military might and internal cohesion...one that Alexander, Rome, to today's United States missed.

I know you have a barrage of points to use against my vision of the world. But hey, would you rather be content with World War 3 theories and clash of so-called civilizations hodge podge? I think not. You should not.

For now, my proposal is but part of a worldwide whisper in the wind. It's virtually impossible you may think.

But that is where the scholars and the dreamers diverge. And that perhaps is one of the reasons why a world bound to subjective decision-making, of postmodern lackluster, of freedom without responsibility can take you to a bitter end.

Call me conservative. Call me an idiot. But hey, I am an idiot with purpose.

Enough said about me, the world is moving. God bless.

HIT IT!

We are the very hurt you sold. And what's the worst you take from every heart you break? And like a blade you stain...

But I'll be holding on tonight. What's the worst thing I can say? Things are better if I stay. So long and goodnight. SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT.


To political traitors and backstabbing morons, you deserve to be strapped like ol' Bill Tuner.

To others...SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT!

DAMN. I wish our cars collide. I'd be feeling a bit better then.
