Episode Three: At War With Ourselves
Wednesday, 15 October, 2008
Episode 3: At War With Ourselves Carlos Says... "Hi everyone, and welcome to this special edition of the Green podcast. We come to you tonight on this historic evening in the United States. With the final Presidential Debate now in the books, and the campaigns now gearing up for the all-important stretch run, we stand a mere 19 days from the end of the long and winding road to the White House. Though most engaged folks have made up their minds, there are still those who cannot bring themselves to make a final decision based on a series of looming legitimate and illegitimate factors. There is a war within some Americans with regard to electing the first Black President of the United States. More importantly, there has been much unwarranted fear and hate rhetoric at recent McCain-Palin rallies, mainly featuring attacks on Barrack Obama with regards to his religion and past personal associations. These actions expose a war within some amongst the far right that involves blinding cynicism and a lack of education with regards to who Barrack Obama is personally and what kind of Senator he has been, and President he would be. The end result is greater ideological divisions and a partisan war with ourselves taking place in our own country. We should be on the same team given the present world environment. We should demand the best, not only from our government and our leaders, but also of ourselves. The following track from our new album ‘Dysnomia Volume One” calls for us to bring attention to our inner wars in order to face the real world and take on the important challenges of our time."
