What do we know?

Our lives and well-being depend heavily on our own belief and knowledge, but partially or rarely on other people. You may say you don’t agree because you are open-minded and respect other people more than anything. Really?

Frank Luntz, self-claimed all mighty communicator, says, “It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear.” For example W. Bush, one of the greatest or worst leaders in the world history depending on where you live, especially either Waco Texas or Athens Ohio, was known as “the African elephant” having the biggest ears among all self-breathing species, meaning that Bush paid seriously focused attention to his cabinet members’ suggestions without falling on deaf ears, but his ears were only open to few members who told him what he wanted to listen to.

His ears, although you might want to trash my opinion, resulted in sinking the majority of innocent and sweet U.S. citizens into the mire of economic hardships. We often hear that it is better to think before we act. Of course, it does not mean that the incumbent president is doing excellent job. What I am trying to say here is that Americans gotta do something to prevent this country from going south not only to save themselves but also to establish other global citizens’ better lives. As you know, when the USA sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. If this country fails to come back as the dominant super power, China or even India will gladly sneezes for it.

It’s been 10 years since 9/11. Leaders of this country can learn from the tragedy and I hope all families of the victims can now rest well.
