From the notebooks of HKO, some random observation of the political season.

I believe we tend to see each presidential term in an isolation that is distorting.

It is a myth that poverty causes terrorism, and that financial aid brings peace.

Why are the Democratic party leaders so unwilling to trust the voters in their own party?

A notable achievement built on myth does not lessen the reality of the achievement, nor does it make the myth true.

Hope is not a strategy and change is not a tactic. Just because a situation is not acceptable does not mean it can not be made worse. Principles matter.
