Re: am i the only one unsettled ?
[QUOTE=thesightless;642190] i know you are leaning to obama heavily, but is it -- obama good, or anything but the right again?[/QUOTE]
^it's both.
i'm not going to get into a side by side comparison on political issues with you because it's a waste of time. you can read, so can i. we know what's what.
but, i'll humor you on this bit you've been ranting about for a year now: let's go with what you're saying- that it's all bullshit, this election sucks, they both suck, neither of them are going to save the world, the whole system is a fraud and is fucked beyond belief and americans are grazers that will eat whatever you put in the oat bag.
let's just say that's the truth^
fuck it, then let's go with the magician thats going to sell the illusion the best to the public. hey, regardless of policy, obama gives americans, and the world, confidence, wether false or not. he can sell. the man is a born leader, and it's that IT that people follow. confidence is an amazing thing brother, and it's been missing big time in this country for 8 fucking years. set policy aside again, because that's not what we're talking about- Obama makes people feel good about America again, and i'm very excited to see what will happen when he's president. Call it a sociological experiment. We only need to get 3% of the population to have some renewed confidence. 3% critical mass is all it takes to change anything, it's fking science man. So..I'll take my chances with the new guy. I already know how the next 4 years would go if McCain is elected, and i'm bored. let's ratchet this country up a little bit.
most of my friends, some in this forum, peers, etc- we're 1%ers dude. the problem isn't the system, it's the general population. you keep waiting for this awesome guy to change everything, someone new coming out of the woodwork to blow us away with all these new ideas, a system changer, blah blah- its not going to happen. that guy is a 1%er. he can't get elected in a million years because that guy freaks your grandma out, and that guy doesn't want any part of politics anyway, he's already out getting his.
if you want to get even deeper on this, the real problem is natural selection. it's not working anymore. the dumbest people breed the most in this country. so this whole idea that it all sucks, everybody sucks, the system sucks- it does, but it's all we have, so manipulate it best you can.
Obama is the best right now. I'm stoked to see something different happen. It's really that simple for me.
That's taking your whoa is me this all sucks logic and using it. I happen to have pretty strong opinions on policy and how america should be governed as well, the constitution, laws, etc, but that's for another time.
Let's sweep the fucking leg!
