I too am tired of the he said she said BS...

Both canidates have been approved by their party's apparatus...meaning that they are made men in the system...these guys are not out to change the world, they are representatives of the status quo.. Go along get along, keep the wheels of geovernment and business turning...

They represent differnt philisophys of how to achieve the goal thats all. you can expect no surprises from them.

All systems fail sooner or later..usually after they become successfull and have more money and power than they know what to do with..so they start to squander it, forget the very virtues that made them great in the first place, begin to think they are entitiled to reap the benfits just because of who they are. The leadership also starts to squabble among themselves trying to divide the wealth up, while bieng so distracted that they forget that there are outside forces that are out to do them in...

I think the USA could fail...with another or series of big events from the Jihadys...our financial system is a house of cards..all based upon the full faith of the US government honoring the dollar....

I am more pessimistic about the long term viability of American Democracy...from looking at the history of other Democracys/ repblics we are about due for a change to amicable despot..hail Caesar...He will restore order so business can carry on as usual..."we get to keep or SUV's hurray...so what if we lose the abilty to vote..it all is a sham anyway..".
