Jed's Inspirational Thought of the Day

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"

  -Eleanor Roosevelt


Oh, I look up to Ellie like no one else. She was a strong woman, a maverick of sorts (I'm not sure many people would ever have thought to call Eleanor a maverick, but it seems that term is just tossed around. if some hag out of Alaska who likes nothing but guns can be a maverick, then dammit, Ellie can too!).

But this got me to thinking. Maybe America's problem isn't JUST the economy or JUST the war or any combination of any problems which the presidential candidates are mentioning.

Maybe it's that we don't dream enough.

Americans get, on average, a lot less sleep than most places. We're busy working and making a living so we can earn money and buy things, but dammit America, what about dreams?! You think our job market is bad, imagine what the American sand men are going through.

So what do I propose? Well why don't we have siestas like many South American and European countries do? Sure, they need them because it's too hot to work, but what about our dreams? They need our time too! And if we all dreamed more, maybe we could follow them, and guess what? Yeah, Ellie is right. The future would be in our hands.


I solved that problem fast. Maybe I should run for president. 
Hey McCain, my V.P. pick would beat yours!
