 Because this is a Presidential election year, I was thinking
about the dialogue from the movie, Master and Commander, The Far
Side of the World. Captain Jack Aubrey says, "The Lesser of
two weevils." What he says as a quip during the dinner
scene with
his officers becomes realistic choices on November 2nd.
Also, in
the TOFOG song, "What You Want Me To Forget," Russell
Crowe sings, "I voted for you last time, nothing changed in my
life."
How have our lives changed the last four
years? "Our" applies to those who own the economy,
the 9-5 worker, and the invisible.
The last four years saw "The Good, The Bad, and The
Ugly." That pretty much covers it. Whatever changes
came to be in our lives, at least we've discovered Russell Crowe and
Viggo
Mortensen as part of our movie entertainment and for sure there will
be predecessors to these actors for future generations. That's
the good news.
Back to politics--on November 3rd, who would have voted-in the one deciding "The lesser of two
weevils?" Yourself, the media, talk-shows, polls?
And as far as polls, how are polls set up? How many people are
asked and at what parts of the country?
How reliable are the
tabulations? (Somebody pitch a poll show idea to Michael
Moore).
As far as weevils, one of them is our need for fuel:
THE FUEL WEEVIL
Have you ever driven down a neighborhood and saw children
driving their electric powered cars? And next to them are their
parents’ gas powered SUVs?
It is clear the adult population has not fallen in love with the
electric car or any other type of alternatively powered mode of
transportation. That is why the "electric car" has been
handed down to the kids. Why? Because there is a higher chance of
profiting from this market.
Imagine, however, the child’s world, where these electric
powered cars will hopefully give happy, childhood memories of these toys,
and thus, the children will
grow up thinking how an electric car may be a good alternative to
their parents’ gas guzzlers. Will the electric car or any other
alternative fuel transport make a comeback in future generations?
Because of our dependence on oil and the companies that provide
the oil rigs and the like to any oil-rich country, the fuel weevil is
"drilled" to stay.
If we were in a war ship under the command of a "Captain Jack
Aubrey" we wouldn't have a choice. The Captain (if he's
not on vacation) will
decide the "Lesser of Two Weevils" as the enemy ship
glides parallel and is about to fire. Let's just hope the
captain can pronounce the command and not get
tongue-tied.
In this kind of ship, we don't have a choice. On
November 2nd, we do have a choice.
