Clinton talks to young voters
The new, more accessible Hillary Clinton continued reaching out to young voters today with a web video showing her answering questions from youthful supporters in New Hampshire.
The video opens with glowing, happy talk praising Clinton, then shows her youth outreach coordinator asking questions from her MacBook to Clinton seated next to her on the campaign bus rolling through the Granite State.
To the first inquiry about the crisis in Darfur, Clinton says she supports a "no-fly zone" under which Sudanese planes would be shot down. Clinton then answers questions about college affordability and clean energy "green collar jobs," intercut with more testimonials for Clinton from young backers.
Clinton is seeking to draw young voters away from main rival Barack Obama, who in Iowa and New Hampshire fared better among them.



How many times does Hillary Clinton's campaign have to get caught planting questions before we realize that she answers planted questions?
Any question is a good question.
I think Hillary is doing the best she can to explain her positions and personal vision.
Since must of us have no clue how to solve world and domestic problems, it doesn't hurt to listen and learn.
Besides, Obama has answered planted questions too, wearing "Obama credentials" no less. The press reportedly huddled together at the event and decided it wasn't newsworthy. So maybe it shouldn't matter whose questions Hillary answers.

IN THE DEPTH OF THE UNKNOWN,
THERE ARE NECESSARY CONQUESTS
The well-known NASA scientist and author of popular scientific works, Professor Carl Sagan, together with his wife Linda, among other people, wrote the famous Space Message engraved on Pioneer 10 and meant for possible extraterrestrial civilizations which might be discovered — who knows? — somewhere in our Galaxy. Professor Sagan is a master of the art of using humor, and he is fond of allegories. That is why Lucien Bonnet wrote to himin the form of a parable on April 10, 1978.
Montreal, April 10, 1978
Dear Dr. Sagan:
It sometimes happens that a dreambecomes a reality. That’s the case today. Through Mr. Emil P. Ericksen, Economic Officer of the Consulate General of the United States of America in Montreal, I am in communication with the American scientist whose works and research I most admire.
I would like to address a simple message to Professor Carl Sagan and his wife, who feel, as the year 2000 approaches, that the time is ripe to make our presence known by sending signals to other possible intelligent beings in the Universe. The message, which is the result of my patient research, I formulate as follows:
"On the cosmic scale, as on the terrestrial scale, blackness is an integral part of color and light processes."
My purpose is to inform you of this particular subject and the reasons that have led me to carry out my research, in the context of the problems of the very small country, whose history is as tortured as its geography, where I was born and grew up: Haiti, whose name means "land of mountains". This country has been faced for years with the difficulties inherent to any collectivity confronted with a problem of identity. In Canada, where I live and to which I have become acclimatized, this subject still motivates my research, propels my efforts and explains the audacity of my words. In the particular context of a centuries-old conflict, where personal interest and racial origins confront each other, it is essential that we get to the bottom of things. At this point, it would be as well to point out that branch of energy physics, namely optics, where scientific taboos concerning color, darkness and light are furthered and maintained by trade secrets, patents and vested interests. A rational search for original, and even avant-garde, answers on a scientific and intellectual level would seem to be a necessary prerequisite to establishing a balanced situation.
Not being a "sientist", but rather, perhaps the most obscure of all obscure researchers of all obscure ages, I am asking a special favor from Professor Sagan. I would like him to agree to examine my modest results and the demonstration there of, backed up by photos and films. Needless to say, they may be freely used for any purposes deemed necessary to the success of my undertaking. On one film, I wanted to assemble in my own way the elements and conditions that I think are indispensable to the analysis and synthesis of colors. I amsubmitting four films called "color separations" and the color proofs to support this finding.
The sentences I quote below are yours. They are taken from an interview that you gave to a French magazine reporter:
"…after Apollo, scientists were discouraged. Do you know why they were disheartened? Because the sky above the Moon is black. That made them depressed. Do you think this is a joke? Not at all. Scientists are more fragile than they look. But the sky above Mars is rose-colored and that gave them hope."4
4 Delaprée, Catherine " L’homme clef de Viking: Et maintenant il faut tout revoir…",
(Le Point, August 16, 1976, pp. 48,49) [our translation]
I can see you and Mrs. Sagan smiling, seeming to say, "Roses live the life span of a rose, the space of one morning."
The solution to the enigma of Space is not a “one-morning” task. Its darkness of an extraordinary depth, always so secretive and so intriguing, bordering on despair and insanity, fear and disgust, hatred and damnation, a consequence of ignorance or indifference, jealously hides incredible resources that would be of benefit to science, perceived only by such advanced, and wise, researchers as Professor Sagan.
With all due respect to the biblical Genesis, which from generation to generation teaches those who wish to hear it their way that "God divided the light from the darkness" (Gen. 1:4), and with all due respect to Sir Isaac Newton, who showed us all the colors of the rainbow with his prism, but who left us in the dark about the greatest unknown of all times, darkness itself, I insist that darkness — "the black rose of space", arbitrarily denied as a positive value, always perceived negatively, discreet, hardly envious of the light which it absorbs, the better to conserve it — has passed for the absence of light, while in reality it is the extension of light.
Since the beginning of time, a harmonious and complementary state has existed between light and darkness, whose equivalent effects are carefully balanced at the cosmic level, making us think, as sages of all ages have suggested, like Lavoisier, that in this coherent universe, "nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed".
The question we ask ourselves most often is this: "What would our lives be without light?" All things being equal, and according to the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy, we might ask, "What would life be without darkness?" Whether we say "darkness is an absence of light" or "light is an absence of darkness", is this not a simple question of semantics?
Reconciling light with darkness is a simple message that any future human or extraterrestrial space traveler should be able to grasp without too much difficulty. In the interests of any advanced civilization, obtaining a workable combination of visible and invisible forms of matter or energy is a chance to surpass ourselves by extending our own limits.
The so-called luminous part of the Universe, be it ever so brilliant, so forceful, that it seems to eclipse all the rest, while left in the shadow of its over whelming radiance, cannot by itself constitute a whole. The latter is left to the perception and investigation of scientists—but again, we must have the courage to get to the bottom of things.
The bottom of things is often veiled by mentalities. Mentalities depend on the human brain. It is interesting to note that the thing we are most proud of, this wonderful human brain — physically, without our realizing it — has always functioned in utter darkness. Man’s skull constitutes, without a doubt, the best model of a dark room which has ever been conceived. On the optical as well as the psychological plane, one can easily imagine what roadblocks are likely to be encountered. When we wish to refer to the superior abilities of man, weuse the term "gray matter". Gray matter in a dark room, with or without a prism — what a delicate situation! Isn’t it where all the subtlety lies?
From the gray lunar soil of the Moon and in the concerted harmony of constructive forms, visible and invisible, of channeled light energy, the white rose and the black rose of the Cosmos and the possibility of roses in all color shades — enough to make the sky of Mars blush red — represent the true challenge of space and the spaceship in modern times. Inertia, spectral speed, speed equal to or higher than that of light, and the scientifically controlled reversibility of the phenomenon, what a new synthesis, but also what a liberation! To compare is not to prove, but the dark hidden side of the Moon, however mysterious it may be, is not a path of no return.
At the edge of light, there is darkness. At the edge of darkness, we can find light. Reconciling the "Children of Light" (I Thess. 5:5) — of the zenith, the rising sun and the setting sun — with the "Children of Darkness" (I Thess. 5:6) could perhaps one day become a question of scientific mentality.
“"And there was evening and there was morning…" (Gen. 1:5).
Could this, Professor, be one of the most harmonious aspects of the vital cycle of space?
Thank you for your attention to my letter.
Yours very truly,
Lucien Bonnet

PLEASE' SEE "Bill A Ri And There Was Light!"
End Nepotism in the White House.
Our youth believe in dreams and invest heavily in ideas/ideals because they lack the very things Hillary offers - realism and experience. The next president will not have two years to learn the intricacies of addressing and solving national and international problems. Not this time. Bush has done too much damage.
Obama is terrific, an extraordinary speaker, a role model, and much, much more. But he lacks national and international experience. Only a past president has that kind of experience. Conceding that Hillary doesn't have that experience, she nonetheless offers more than Obama in those areas. She offers first person exposure to international challenges and diplomacy and to resolutions of national concerns.
It matters. It really, really matters this time around.
It's time to end imperial politics here in the United States. How do you plan to put an end to this dynamic that is running rampant in America today?
She trashed the young people after she lost Iowa...now she is chasing them. Good luck!
In New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton answered dozens of questions at every appearance, often going into very intense detail on subjects that ranged from the state of the economy to the status of foster children. In contrast, Obama gave beautiful, poetic speeches but answered no questions and gave no detail about what he would do as president. We are not electing a Poet Laureate, we are electing a commander-in-chief who has the experience to get us out of this mess the Republicans have created! Grow up!
Even young voters remember the inaction and humiliation that the Clinton years brought to the Democratic Party. We can not afford to elect someone that wafts the stench of an impeached President at every news conference they speak at.
Good she starts focusing on young voters to not leave them to Mr GimmehopeObama.
The US need substance and not the empty words of Mr Obama. Young people should start to open their eyes and look through the empty facade of Mr Obama. And for the planted question remarks: Did you people realize that the whole figure of Mr Obama is planted? He can not represent any achievements for America. He is planted by big money donors and the Media who want to achieve another Republican win. Wake Up! Vote for Hillary.
Every politician is going to have planted questions in their audience its how politics run. What matters is who those politicians answered the throwed questions and how they respond to all questions even those planted, they still have a side on those issues. Doesn't matter what question is planted, its a reasonable question.
Nice site.
Thanks, webmaster.
