All the world’s countries have decided that
the Internet itself needs a government. Your country asks you to run for Prime
Minister of the ‘Net — do you accept? If so, what will your platform be?
No, I do not
accept. I wouldn’t want to be President
of the United States or Prime Minister of anything, much less the “Net.” I have the utmost respect for our country’s
leaders, even when I don’t always agree with how they lead because I believe it
is one of the toughest jobs in the world.
I think those who chose to run for these positions (for the most part)
have idealistic views of the world, dreams for its people, and a vision that
they can make things better. And like so
many of us, when we grow up and get a real taste of the tough world we live in
and discover disillusionment for the first time, our country’s leaders soon
find how difficult it is to bring their visions for a better world to
fruition. There are so many obstacles to
overcome and so much division among our leaders (especially today), it’s
unfortunate. It makes it almost
impossible to achieve our goals as a country. And as we continue to experience
the horror of daily mass shootings, drive-bys, and senseless violence in
America, I can’t help but wonder if we are beyond rescue. My glass half full side would like to say we
are on the extreme end of the pendulum. We have swung into some of the most
evil days of this world, and it’s time to begin swinging back into balance, to
better days. At least that’s the way I
have to live, believing in people, in God, in all the good there still is in
the world because if I don’t, then I’m letting go of hope and faith, and that
truly would be the end of the world in my book.
