The death of the politics
I want to speak about a person who could have done a wonderful work to reform the United States but he didn't. It's a very controversial person who gave me a lot of hope only to see how his project went down for, and this is important, not a political reason but a personal one. I'm talking, of course, of Bill Clinton.
During his term of office, he tried to reform the public health; but he couldn't as he had a lot of oposition in both the senate and the Congress. He also tried to improve the education and the economy, an obliterated economy as a result of the bad management of George Bush father during the Golf War and he looked forward to stop pollution. Althought he did a few internal reforms (that were thrown to the rubish during George W. Bush term), the best he did, in my opinion is the external politics. He tried to be not a world police but a dialogist. He didn't send troops where there were problems (or oil). Instead of that, he tried to get better relationships with the rest of the world in order to avoid further problems and wars.
But that was worthless. He tried to put the world in order but he couldn't, He didn't had the possibility, And for what? What was the reason for that he couldn't continue with his improvements? The reason of that is, according to me, the death of the politics and the beginning of the paparazzi Age. The arguments, the facts, the progress, the economy, the public services, the international relationsh; all of this are harmless weapons against the morbid fascination, the rumours. There's nothing to stop it, to make the people understand that even if the rumors are true (that they turned to be) it was an affair of Bill Clinton and Hillary. THAT WAS NOT A STATE PROBLEM, JUST A MATRIMONIAL ONE. But, there was nothing to do, The people wants rumors, not facts.
This is the story of how we could have had a better world if pollution and education were more important than personal bussiness. But we had bad luck. In the future, the electoral programmes will be all rumors of “bad things” the other people have done, and the serious press will become tabloid press. But this is the future that we, the humans, have chosen. I really want to be wrong, but the reality is this,
