Who is the next Grey Champion?
What about Hilary Rodham Clinton?
Now that she's entering politics for real, this is no longer idle speculation. Though her record is spotty up till now, after she's had some time in the Senate and run a few campaigns, her experience will have further smoothed over her rough edges. And she has the moral conviction, strength, charisma and knowledge to be a leader.
And this is a time when people are looking for a new kind of leader. A woman may fill the bill for many. Don't forget that whoever the champion(s) is/are, they probably won't appear in 2005. The Crisis will have developed for a while before the champion(s) appear(s).
"I'm not sure the 1960s legacies we live with today are positive, except those brought about by the Silent." said Michael.
Well, I think the Boomers helped with all of those; including the fact that a woman candidate is now a real possibility. Boomers participated in all the liberation movements and made them what they were, although they were not the original leaders of those movements. The 1960s legacies are not all positive, but part of the legacy is. I wouldn't want to go back to the days when we could not express who we are and be informal with each other, and when no-one in this country had any inkling of spirituality. When the only architecture around was small or large boxes made of glass and ticky-tacky. And when no-one had an inkling of the environmental costs of our industrial lifestyle, and when consumers had no rights.

Hillary will not be the grey champion. Her getting elected would be the institutionalization of globalist patheticness. We would have transgender bathrooms, it would be illegal to own firearms. Children would be playing barney the purple dinosaur games because anything cool would be banned. We would fight foreign wars to "bring freedom" rather than learning to coexist with other systems of government who may not value democracy. We would fight foreign wars like we did in kosovo which all it did was convince Bin Laden that americans were weaklings who could be defeated easily, hence 9/11.
