A quarter of a century

If Hillary Clinton goes on to win the election this coming November and remains in power pending some unforeseeable circumstance through 2013, that will mean that 2 families will have held the highest seat of power in our government for 24 consecutive years, beginning with G.H.W. Bush in 1989. Anyone with half of a brain can recognize that fact with some simple arithmetic but what does this say about our nation on so many different levels of thought? I can spend the rest of my week analyzing that simple idea from every angle: culturally, socially, democratically, politically, economically and so on but I'll leave it up to you to contemplate this disturbing realization about the state of our nation.
