Survival Of The Wisest Revisited

There were Obama Inauguration parties...all over Vancouver yesterday...not to mention
the rest of Canada and the world. At a dismal time in his country...and the world...
this man is a messenger of hope...willing to make strong and needed changes. I
remember reading somewhere...a few years ago...that our world had reached the time...
when it was now a question of..."survival of the wisest"...suggesting...among other things...that a might is right approach to dominating the rest of the world...was over. Among many affirmative aspects of what Obama has promised...were his remarks...touching on the need for a "wiser" way of approaching the problems of the world...rather than moving to flex millitary muscle...as...by and large...the only way available. Many things he said in his inaugural speech resonated with myself...and I'm sure...millions of others...specially in the area of leaving...outworn ideas and ways...behind. There is a hunger across the world...for new and enlightened ways...that affect us all positively. I remember...a long time ago...writing in a song...that "paranoia" was not the way...all around...and certainly...in world affairs. One of my hopes...is that this new day that has started in the affairs of the world...will take us far beyond the limitations of a paranoid approach to state craft...and living life...to a place within ourselves...where we can walk...under the sun of freedom....................................Quester.
