Jesus prevailed…

...and inspired everyone as Daschle withdrew his nomination yesterday to the post of Secretary of Health and Human Services! How did that happen; was it divine intervention? Not really, in my view, the “vox populi” triumphed through the power of the internet. For the past three days, all on-line newspaper articles inviting reader’s opinions were deluged with negative comments about Tom Daschle, not just because of his “fuzzy” views about taxes, but mostly because of his de facto lobbyist role and speaker with health industry companies, that among other sources netted him a juicy $5 million revenue in less than four years. The internet helped install Barack Obama in the White House but it’s a powerful tool that will keep on cutting both ways as a growing army of online citizens won’t tolerate major deviations from proper and ethical governance. Even Jesus today, realizes that the net is the new master! Now, remain watchful and ready at your keyboards…
