Anyway cheers to another term of wastefulness. Good graces to all who will donate to worthlessness and severe backpedaling and amen to the white house.
Any update on these unconstitutional laws being passed?
true, it is a competition. but thats not really what im getting at. I stayed up over in rainy old england until 6am watching the election. The only thing that came from it for me was that it seemed too showy and a waste of good money. You dont need a huge stage with 300 plasma screens and confetti everywhere to announce a winner. Nor do you need two people sat in a studio reporting on it like its a sports type competition.
I guess it's just that america likes to be showy and extravagent, im just not used to it. Im sorry to have been a bit off topic. but im the worst type of person, (so ive been told), i dont vote because the way its determined is wrong imo. But hey, maybe things would be different if i lived in america and maybe i would vote, but in the uk, not a chance.
Also, surely you would agree that politics has become far too much about competing with other parties rather than actually focusing on the greater good of the country itself. I read just today that david cameron gave some speech on 'how the conservative need to beat labour'. Last time i checked, the idea isnt to beat the opposition by trying directly to beat them, but by putting forward the best ideas for a country.
Not for me im afraid, i love reading about politics, but my involvement stops there.
