I mean, this is the guy who brought us the word "strategory" ...
America, this sucks.
We haven't really progressed much from ancient Greece.
Well, we have ostensibly outlawed slavery, and also ostensibly given everyone, regardless of sex or sexual identity, race, or financial status the right to vote. At the moment we don't execute people for impiety, although depending on today's outcome, that might change.
Also, you have to remember, that the United States technically isn't a democracy; it's a republic (although admittedly a democratic one). We don't, as citizens, make laws and decide on policy. We elect people to do it for us. One of the flaws of our system is that it's possible to elect crooks who don't represent the will of the people. I think the bigger problem, though, and this is a flaw in ANY system, is the converse: that politicans (and their propaganda machines) can convince the people that its will coincides with the politician's policy. That's what W has going on. ![]()
At least neither of our respective close relations messed anything up at the electoral college level though...
I'm glad I don't have any midwestern relatives...
solidarity.
that's all i can say.
