There are two powerful and opposing forces coursing across the planet right now. One is the youth movement that helped elect Obama. These are the globals, a generation that doesn't see what the hell we are getting our panties in a knot about when it comes to gay marriage, who hate the ignorance of the past eight years, and want a better world, transparency and probably universal health care and a kitten in every pot. Then there are the Putinista's, the United Russia Party's Young Guard. They are responsible for beating the hell out of protestors and screaming nationalistic slogans like "We believe in Russia," etc etc. And the Obamaists and the Putanista's will probably be heading on a collision course the next few years, as they get older and more powerful and as Putin seeks to return the USSR to it's former Evil Empire glory, but this time with better jewelry, flat screens and nicer cars. Woe is us. The only thing we can hope for is an even lower birth rate in the Soviet Union and the continued over consumption of vodka. And that Obama does all the repairing and sword silencing that Bush got so busy doing the past eight years. We'll see. But the Young Guards are as scary as the Obamaists are cuddly. Here we go again.
