Sunday, June 1, 2008: Kathmandu, Nepal

Well here goes for the 2nd try.

It seems to me the Democratic meeting demonstrated one glaring issue, they do not want a woman, they want a man to be the nominee. And, so they have wiggled and waggled until they got what they wanted. It seems like the meeting yesterday to allocate the delegates from Michigan and Florida was all about who and how many to seat and they were not going to face the fact that they had denied Hillary the phychological edge in the campaing by booting out the Florida and Michigan delegates. It was a pretty round about way to let Hillary know that they got a lot of gender bias in the democratic party that they do not want to deal with. If Hillary knew or recognized it, she has not said a thing so far in the campaign. Mr. Obama is unwilling to recognize his own bias too. So for Hillary, this is a gruelling campaign; and she has to keep from most of her female supporters some of the real inside stuff. It is quite apparent now that this gender bias was out and played a big influence in the decisions yesterday.

Now, I think the Democrats have all but lost the election come November because of the way they treated some of the people yesterday at the meeting.

I said this in the last blog, that I am almost through with this Kathmandu visit and am off to SE Asia, Cambodia in particular. I am going to check out things in Thailand too to see how things are going with the Myanmar Relief. The Military Junta treats the Burmese terribly; somebody should stop this. This Gov't. actually believes that their function is to keep the populace at bay so they can do what ever they please. They are not really a legitimate government at all, they are a self-appointed junta that represents only themselves and not the country of Myanmar at all. How can this be?

These are my thoughts for today.
