Seriously, I am really tired of the whole thing. I was thinking that if I didn't have to work today, I would drink every time I heard the word election. And I wouldn't even cheat by turning the tv onto any 24 hour news channels. I would have been wasted. If Facebook can promote it that much, it is pretty much out of control.
Don't get me wrong, I think democracy rocks and I think voting is important. I thought quite a bit about who and what I would vote for. I sent my absentee ballot in a while ago. However, I don't think we need to encourage the uneducated masses to vote. If they aren't willing to research how and when to vote, we can pretty much assume they won't research who or what to vote for. We don't need these people voting. That is why I am dreadfully sick of facebook, myspace, google, msn, starbucks, ben & jerry's, etc, etc, etc, pushing people to vote.
One more thing. I am also really weary of how political ads and pundits tend to paint a picture of apocalyptic doom if something does or does not pass, or if some person goes into office. Really? The Apocalypse will happen is ________ becomes president? Wow. That's pretty intense. I end up humming this little diddy that once got lodged in my brain. I shall share the lyrics.
The population has greatly decreased
And my chances have greatly increased
That I may get a chance to kiss your lips.
I thank the Lord each day for the Apocalypse.
