In a speech on foreign policy in Los Angeles, McCain proposed one of the most radical ideas in history. He proposed to remove Russia from the Group of Industrial Nations and draw a line between China as well. He then wants to add India and Brazil. This will create a "cold war" like embargo but in an economic stance. This will add tension on the world market. Yet, does McCain realize that the difference between now and the original cold war is that Russia is now one of the largest producers of oil and China is growing 3 times faster than the United States? The stress this move would cause is insurmountable. The tension would leave the United States even more unstable economically. Perhaps WWIII won't be fought with guns and tanks but rather it would be fought with embargos, taxes, and forcing countries into economic depressions while stable ally countries will refuse to help for fear that they too will be drawn into a depression. Traditional economic policy is a death sentence. How can the United States possibly survive with an ever growing global economy? The government needs to include Russia and China to help stabilize the world's economy or more importantly ours. Or perhaps, everyone would rather see food stamps instead of dollar bills and third world streets instead of golden roads. What can we do? Vote!
Oh and read the next post about my general political ideas :D

The Unwritten Rules of Blogging until now
Dear Reader,
As many know, I am trying to beef up my entourage of readers and commenters. This blog is designated to you, who has not much blogging experience. This by no means makes me an expert, but there are some unwritten rules which perpetuate the world of blog.
Rule 1: IF YOU READ, YOU COMMENT!
My sister and I agree on this rule. It is nice to have comments regardless from whom it is given. We write to be read, and commenting allows us to know we are heard. Now you ask what do i comment?
Rule 2: A SMALL COMMENT IS WORTH MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE
A comment takes less than 3 minutes to do. We are not asking for a novel, but a small thought about the latest blog or possibly a comment about something related.
Rule 3: CONSISTENCY PLEASE
A consistent commenter allows the blogger to create a better relationship with the commenter, and the commenter also learns a different side of the blogger. I must admit that I think my sister and I have gotten closer through blogging.
Rule 4: IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU DONT HAVE A BLOG- JUST LEAVE A COMMENT
Blogging is semigeeky- so i don't blame anyone who doesn't want to dive into the world of blogs. However, it is fun to express your ideas and thoughts. Just leave a comment and say who you are :D
There's just a couple unwritten rules-
I love Comments!!
PS> I will be blogging more consistently and will probably steal an idea from my sister and have consistently themed blog posts.
