Sleepless thoughts

Someone recently asked me why I don’t like right wing politics? I thought it would be tough to articulate. I did try to answer – Right wing politics always try to negate an individual, it sums up your existence upon your past, it denies the value of your achievement, does not believe in your own destiny, power to create your own order, and respect you deserve for yourself, and not what your forefathers deserved. Now when I think, would my answer would have been same if I was born in an aristocratic family of Britain?

Brings me to my second thought – I am not supporting Christine O’Donell, my view is not different from the majority, but for the first time I liked her interview with Meredith Vieira. She talks about bruised egos for her defeat. I felt pity for her, and I liked the lines she used. Change the context, and the lines would still fit. Excuses they still would be, but I have always craved for formal occasions and formal lines. Check the interview on this link (video)

'Decision Points' seems to be an interesting book from the previews and the excerpts. Bush didn’t seem that erudite in his interview with Matt Lauer. It would still be insightful to read the book.

We all find so easy to accuse someone on the first pretext on the pattern that is evident on the first glance. Easiest things are mostly wrong – be the easiest conclusion, easiest analysis, easiest judgement, and easiest decision. Kanye West found it too easy to accuse Bush, and when he is himself getting accused, he knows how it feels? Some poetic justice.
