I'll be taking a hiatus from SG when my account expires. It's been fun, all.

Now is the time to put yourself or others forward as a candidate to be the next curator of this group.

An election thread choosing between those candidates will follow. (i.e. This is the thread …

Canada Post has refused to deliver campaign mailers for the Sex Party, claiming they are pornographic.

Did anyone know previously that there was a sex party?

They only ran three candidates in the BC provincial election. I can't find anything about their candidates in this one.



I was also a little confused by that. I figured if they were bothering to send out material they must be running somebody somewhere.

I think I've come to like the candids on SG more than the sets themselves. I look forward to new candids everyday, and it's one of the things that keeps me coming to some SG's journals.

So I'm voting "Third Party".

Not because I want to "waste" my vote, but because I do not believe in the primary's policies. None of the "primary" care about the things I believe in. If you want to talk about a wasted vote; I think that a vote towards a candidate, because you are scared that the other one's going to win, is cowardice. If...

I am curious about the notion of electability and its relationship to American identity. How does a voter define someone as electable?

If you recall from my rantings in the 2004 election, morality was a major concern of the voters. Most people who voted for George W. Bush cited moral values as the most important issue of the campaign. I strongly argued that people evaluated...

Chance and time are intimately linked in our universe. Every day, chance occurrences take place that present us with new opportunities, challenges and perils. To make the best of them requires a knowledge of how to make decisions in sequence. Nowhere is this more true than in the realm of love.
