Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post

. . . writes about the Bush administration's attempt to keep track of all our internet search activity via the use of GOOGLE. It represents another personal intrusion, one I really resent because Google is a member of my family of friends now. I like Google . . . .it's as if the GOOG is a trusworthy old uncle who knows everything. When I want to know about KANT and --how do you spell it --Neizche? -- is that it? I just go to old GOOG and he tells me more than I can really digest, but by golly he's always there with the answers.

You'll note that my gender identification of Google is male? I guess I've never had an aunt who knew much about the world or at least anything that she would admit to knowing. Historically INFORMATION BELONGS TO THE MEN, or did until lately.

I'm a woman and I love the information that is available to me now on the web. No one there raises an eyebrow and asks me " what do you want to know that for?" . . . a form of male dominance.

I think many women are conflicted about the mistakes and errors and over-reaching of our president because he is a father,brother,uncle image as president, and we have always expected them to lead us.

Have you noticed Hillary lately? SHE says she's only trying to get re-elected to the Senate but she's very visible and very vocal . Are we ready for a woman in that job? Other countries have done it. Will the women here in the United States support a woman for president? I would. It's a question for GOOGLE.

WE DO HAVE A CANDIDATE . . . . and his name is . . . .

Today, January 16,2006 on C-Span I watched a speech in constitution hall, to the Liberty Coalition . The multi-level room was packed to the ceiling with enthusiastic supporters of political action and this time responsive to the speaker who was AL GORE.

. Well thy might be. He has improved his delivery, maybe even gotten his face lifted, but aside from his appearance his message was clear, well thought out, and applicable to both parties in that the final word at this time of confusion and danger to the separation of powers that rests within our constitution rests within a fourth power . . .THE PEOPLE

This speech was brilliantly conceived and delivered, made to appeal to EVERYONE, not just activist supporters of the LIBERTY COALITION in CONSTITUTION HALL. I dare to hope and believe in this individual's personal power to reach all of the people.

As a lifelong Democrat, concerned with the suggested lack of leadership of our party, I believe that we were right the first time. That we actually won that first truncated Florida vote which was taken from us at the last minute by the political action of the SUPREME COURT, a supposedly a-political body. That we DO have a candidate for the 2008 presidential elections and his name as
before is AL GORE.
