Decisions, Decisions.
2 hour naps are nice when you wake up at 5:30am and can't go back to sleep.
John Robb's Radio Weblog "This is a depressing situation. The SEC is AWOL, the DOJ has abdicated its responsibilities in favor of security, the courts are in confusion, our President is obsessed with war, our economy is teetering near the edge of oblivion, and our opposition parties are in disarray. This is not the end of the world, but it does mean that we are in a protracted low point for the US. We just need to wait this out. Nothing else to do. Unfortunately, that may take a decade. Hopefully less." , is how John Robb sums up the current state of affairs which Doc Searls said he agreed with.
Today I picked up a voters guide from church. Yes, I said it, "church". The guide to the candidates rated them on a number of issues but here are a couple:
Required filtering of internet pornagraphy on library computers, Opposes further government regulation of businesses.
When I started hearing those I just started to get a little vocal about some of those issues. Of course it's not all bad is it? "Supports freedom for private & home schools"
The guide doesn't have the peoples parties listed next to them but almost all of the entries have checks all throughout the 10 issues rated, or no checks at all.
Good to know how people will be making good unbiased decisions in a couple of days. Also nice to know that we've elected the moronic infrastructure that is hell-bent on running it into the ground flames burning. Let me just say that I don't know if the alternative would've been better.
