But even in those situations it is more a matter of where does the future happen. Because communists take over means millions of the best leave for Hong Kong, Taiwan, USA, Canada etc... for a big expat community and make contributions outside and for other places. Many who remain are suppressed and opportunities are squandered. The difference between Tories and the coalition are not that big in the grand scheme of things. Especially as both are weak and would not be able to push through really tough legislation or changes.<BR/><BR/>Obama and the Democratic congress. We will see how much difference and changes happen. Still Republicans at the state governor level.brian wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541279438184352860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-9979147452654312862008-12-02T22:55:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:55:00.000-05:00@Sean: writing about politics is highly relevant -...@Sean: writing about politics is highly relevant -- particularly when it pertains to anti-progressive forces that are working to undermine the kind of present that is possible, and the future I'm sure you imagine.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003484633933455827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-29108423111523442052008-12-02T22:42:00.000-05:002008-12-02T22:42:00.000-05:00Dood, what happened to "transhumanist perspectives...Dood, what happened to "transhumanist perspectives on science, philosophy, ethics and the future of intelligent life"? <BR/>This blog was interesting when you talked about those things, but all these political rants about Obama, Palin, Canadian Conservatives, etc. are *extremely* ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Please consider renaming your blog or starting a second blog, these recent topics are hardly worthy of discussion for the +2 sigma blogosphere crowd to which I thought "Sentient Developments" belonged.Sean Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622195596387968961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-78685605548526448832008-12-02T18:13:00.000-05:002008-12-02T18:13:00.000-05:00"And for the 63% of Canadians who voted against th..."And for the 63% of Canadians who voted against the Conservative Party just 6 weeks ago, this is good news..."<BR/><BR/>Ya, what about the approximately 74% who voted against the Liberal party.... this is a coup if I ever saw one...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753820.post-48137567526675056412008-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:002008-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:00I am glad to see that action is being taken in thi...I am glad to see that action is being taken in this dark time for our economy.

Most of the reasons I love this country come from aspects of it that are inherently socialist, like our health care. I think taking the best ideas of the liberals and the NDP and leaving behind the stuff that most voters didn't agree with, like Dion's carbon tax,is awesome. the fact that they agreed on a plan in four days and are actually doing something about this recession is great proof that our parliamentary democracy can have more than two parties and we can actually have a united leftist party for a change!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
