I finally realized Hilary does indeed have a vision for our future (and yes she can on this issue)

Even if no we cant, achieve much of anything else as her campaign would imply.

8. It still is as long as the NeoCon agenda continues, like the perpetual wars we continue fighting

and even a more robust Continuation of an even more forceful "Bush like" continuation we shall see under Clinton, complete with newer and larger ground wars to Include Iran and other, smaller coups with a Kissinger like signature.

you are jumping the gun, the NeoCon era will end when we see signs of a smaller rather than ever increasing military budget, as yet we have only seen rises in said budget.

The vision may even be inevitable at this point, short of a political revolution......

As I said to another poster

I miss her very, very much, I also missed her intelligence and insight which were far superior to my own (she had an IQ that was unusually high, well above 140 in fact). I also miss her talents of which she had many, but most of all I miss her soul and presense, which was so infused with her loving nature that everyone, even animals sensed it and were drawn to her.

7. The love should go to Kim Wilson My late wife and artist

She usually worked in multimedia rather than flat ink and pencil work, put was inspired to create this sketch after seeing in her artists (vision) or minds eye the future unfolding before us as The Neocons and Corporations that both prosper from and whose interests are protected by these illegal wars (usually for resources or coups to get at resources) and the way it was changing the world and people that would have to live in it's future.

She chose a Seussian method to better express the freedom of unity and diversity a happy world should look like, as you may not realize, the happy bipeds (not actually humans but according to her what the best of humanity looked like in her vision) was inspired by seeing such happiness and unity in diversity we witnessed together in counter culture festivals and gatherings we experienced together in our youth.

She knew even during the Iraq war, that this would continue on a bi-partisan basis and saw early on how money ran the show in the theater of absurdity we call politics.

I will share something that no one but myself knows about that drawing, when I asked her why there was no conveyor belt to expel the dead bodies produced by the Neocon strategy, she gave me a rather blunt but shocking answer, "The Neobobulator machine as she called it, ran on the bodies as fuel and was lubricated by the blood of the innocent, so all that was left of them was a grey mist that contaminated the future".

It was some time ago, but my recollection of those words are likely very precise as I was both shocked by the bluntness of her words (not her style at all) but was brought to tears by the realization was was correct.

I miss her very, very much, I also missed her intelligence and insight which were far superior to my own (she had an IQ that was unusually high, well above 140 in fact). I also miss her talents of which she had many, but most of al I miss her soul and presense, which was so infused with her loving nature that everyone, even animals sensed it and were drawn to her.
