USA elections

France, lunch time

I just saw an interesting summary (too bad I can't download the article) in the last Science issue. It seems that scientists all over the USA are strongly supporting Obama. I am not in the USA, but I really hope he will win the elections! The fact that S. Palin is with McCain is a scary enough fact to not vote for McCain.

And every time I listen to this song (Black eyed peas), I think of how it is important that each of us gives its contribution. This is why who you vote can make a difference in some places (in Italy, I am not sure about that...). It will not save the world, but it can help to make the world a better place to live. This video has been shot in Africa, but in general I do believe that some people can just make a difference....this is the last part of the song and I do believe that it takes one and then one follows the other one and so on....

It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let's change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing



Below the lyrics of this song

One for all, one for all
It's all it's all for one
Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one

We don't want war- can't take no more
It's drastic time for sure
We need an antidote and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohammed
got a problem with Jehovah
We don't want war- imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think they'd view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still live in primitive today
Coz the peace in the destination of war can't be the way
There's no way, so people just be a woman, be a man
Realize that you can't change the
world by changing yourself
And understand that we're all just the same
So when I count to three let's change

Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What you're saying is the truth, but
really troubles me inside
I'd change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears

I don't know, y'all, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion
Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?
Why do we keep killing each other, what's the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonise together in this mission
Listen, I know it's really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilising all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I don't understand why it's never been done
So let's change on the count of one

It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let's change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing
