Four years have passed since the last Presidential Election which was engulfed in the spirit of change: breaking away from the decades old chain we had put around our necks. But, has there really been any change? Or has everything gone down the drain the last four years? These questions will be very differently answered by both Republicans and Democrats to support their candidates' stance, regardless of whatever truth lies in the closet!
Politics is a ver difficult field of our social interactions, where our fate is decided yet not by us, rather by a group of people whom we trust, but can they really represent us? Compared to the times of George Washington, representatives have definitely become better at understanding our needs and demands although they are yet to truly see the world through our eyes. Both Obama and Romney are very different people yet somehow most of their views are actually similar; they have similar International Policies, Educational Policies and one of the only major difference is their tax policies which both reared their own to be the best and had lengthy debates which have been meaningless. Obama's Tax policies are similar to those of early 1990s policies and Romney's are to those of late 1980s. So why are the two of them so obsessed about their own policies being right because history has the answer but alas everyone seems to lazy to dig it out!
As of how things are standing now, Romney and Obama are going head to head and the polls show they are pretty close in their standing, so there is no clear winner, or is there? Our would-be leaders are very distracted to prove that one is the lesser evil compared to the other, but why should we settle for the lesser evil when we can have better options? The answer lies in the complex bureaucratic traditions of our election system which is too complex for ordinary people to explore as he is barely alive!
Obama and Romney could have made a difference if they had debated about issues which actually concerned the ordinary people of America. Education is the backbone of a country, yet our public education is worse than that of developing countries like India; we spend billions of dollars yet everything goes down the drain. We are also spending a huge portion of our yearly budget to kill people in the name of Democracy at the cost of our youth who are being psychologically devastated in the battle field. We are losing our gold mines in search of death mines, a dangerous game which Romney wants to expand with an addition of a billion dollars. And also there are the third party candidates whom the media is trying their best, with all their might and wit, to avoid and obscure them from the public's eyes!
So where do we stand? On a road to uncertain future; regardless who wins tomorrow's election, very little is going to change; hundreds of students will drop out of High School, hundreds would be looking for work, hundreds would be we fighting a losing war and unless we truly correct the problems in our society rather than patching with new short term policies and laws, this cycle of foolish pain would not stop but the reality is change come at the cost of pain and we Americans are not ready to accept it and unless we do, change will only be in dreams and nightmares!
