OVER OR BEGUN

IS GLEN CAMPBELL CORRECT WHEN HE ONCE CROONED, "IT’S OVER," OR "HAVE WE ONLY JUST BEGUN" AS ANOTHER SONG STATES? FOLLOWING THE RULE - OR RILE - OF POLITICS, REACTION NOT ACTION DETERMINED THE OUTCOME OF YESTERDAY'S MID-TERM ELECTION. VOTERS SAID THEY PREFERRED AN ADMINISTRATION THAT UNDERSPENDS AND ADEQUATELY GOVERNS. WILL THE NEGATIVE FEELINGS FOR BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES CREATE A NEW, THIRD PARTY AS SOME ANALYSTS HAVE PREDICTED OR WILL THE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE RE-INVENT THEMSELVES TO SERVE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE? WILL THE FUTURE BRIGHTEN? OF COURSE NOT. ALEXANDER POPE IN THE 18TH CENTURY MUSED THAT "PARTY IS THE MADNESS OF MANY FOR THE GAIN OF A FEW." HOW TRUE. ONCE AGAIN, POWER WILL NOW FLOW FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE INTO THE HANDS ONE GREEDY, SELF-INTERESTED GROUP THAT SEIZED IT FROM ANOTHER. LET THE GAMING BEGIN.
