Day 2: The election debacle

Okay, so we know that the election is coming down to one of three people. However, I am not one too happy with my choices.

The last time we elected a president, look at what we got: Crap. Someone who was a failure before and remained a failure but on such a massive stage.

Now we have the lesser of evils, really. I don't trust McCain, Clinton or Obama all too much. These aren't the finest we could come up with in the political arena. No one sings of having virtue or the tenacity to lead the country.

Heck, why would any of them want to anyway? It's a tough job, Bush pointed out it was "hard work," and the inheriting of a divided people is only admirable, if not insane.

But fret not for what doesn't kill you on your doorstep is only slightly less painful. Reality is that you and I feel micro shocks of what goes on in politics. A little chiseling of our income here, a raising of fees there. Unfortunately some of us are affected in much bigger ways but, as long as it doesn't kill us on our collective doorsteps, why worry all that much?

I envy those too ignorant to be aware of the truths of our current situation. They go about their daily lives worrying about little else than what they are told to worry about. The president doesn't see fit to tell us to worry about really important things so I guess we can only worry about that which is arbitrary, like terrorists gaining a navy and coming over here in their non-existent aircraft and killing all of us. (Obviously I stopped being too scared about terrorists).

The sad fact is that, come election, I won't get to vote for who I would really like as president because, frankly, the greatest leaders aren't necessarily the most popular kids in school or the star athletes beyond. They don't act in movies or run Fortune 500 companies. Some of our greatest leaders, unfortunately, can be shouted down by political pundits and don't feel it is necessary to have to be scrutinized by a corporate media to do a good job. They just stick to their ethics and do a good job outside of the seedy world of politics.

So, come election day, vote for the lesser of two evils, whatever way you want to go. Just don't be ignorant about it, okay?
