Biden Says Country Witnessing ‘Remaking of Mitt Romney’ - ABC News

"Democrats and rival Republicans quickly pounced on Romney’s team last March when senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom suggested the campaign could reset itself “like an Etch A Sketch” in the general election. Romney, who was then a contender in the Republican primary contest, “walked back” his adviser’s comments, telling reporters that while the campaign may restructure itself “organizationally,” the issues he’d be running on would be exactly the same.”

"Vice President Joe Biden said in Ohio that the country might at last be witnessing the reconstruction of the Romney platform that his campaign hinted at last spring.
“His plans aren’t sketchy, they’re Etch A Sketchy. They’re like shaking that little tablet out there,” Biden said at the J. Babe Stearn Community Center Monday. “It’s under way guys. We are seeing the remaking of Mitt Romney right before our eyes.”

Snake oil anyone? Which Romney plaform would one get: the primary uber-conservative, or this centrist-softy that's now running? Nobody knows. What a crock of sauce.

I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
