Nothing New

It is sad that the month of my birth always brings news of more idiotic people telling me what to do. This month, strangers are telling me who to vote for in this midterm election coming up on Tuesday. I am tired of the phone calls, the ads everywhere, and all the glossy publications sent to my home. Thanks for wasting my tax dollars to promote yourself you selfish bastards. What is even worse, is the brainless minions who follow these politicians blindly simply because they belong to a certain "party." Hmm donkey or elephant? Turd sandwich or giant douche? Doesn't sound like much of a choice. Did you forget what happened last time? Change and hope were chanted but nothing is new. Do you think these people actually care about you? They don't! They have their own agenda which is all about money and power. People have said to me, "Oh, well _____ is different. He/She actually wants to make a difference in the world and help people!" Uh huh sure. More like helping themselves.

Aren't you tired of strangers telling you what to do and making decisions for you? I stopped voting in 2004 after my first presidential election. I couldn't believe that people voted that retard from Texas back into office. How can that man have been chosen as the best and brightest in this country to lead us? I thought to myself what is the point of all this show? And that is exactly what it is, a giant money-making show to convince you that your voice is heard. Well, I have news for you. Your voice is not being heard, unless you can scream over the preteen girls crying out for Justin Bieber. Or maybe you should listen to the celebrities telling you what to do: "Buy these jeans and oh by the way, vote for ______." Yes, they know all about what's going on in this world. Or maybe you should look to the Bible about who to vote for.

If you have any kind of brain inside of your head, you would realize that this country is run by money and power. We have been lied to, people. The election and holiday seasons are great times to wake up and see what this world is really about. The hypocrisy is rampant. Get inside that brain of yours and try something new. Think for yourself!

P.S. If this post gets you upset or offends you, well my job is done.

P.S.S. Walorski and Donnelly, stop sending me your crap! I'm not voting for either of you losers. I will never be okay with strangers making decisions for me.

If I were president.....

With all the political propaganda going around these past several months, it has me thinking about how my campaign would be if I were running for president. Even though I never plan to run for any political office ever, I just thought it was fun to ponder. The views and interests of the candidates today are so vague, no one really knows where they stand on the issues. What is important to them? What are they going to fight for when in office? Anyway, here is my list of things I think are important and I would fight for when I become president.

~I would push for legislation for the government to provide higher education to all those who want to go. I think college should be free just like K-12 education. I see the importance of education and knowledge, and college loans probably distract a lot of people from pursuing higher education. I personally know it really blows to pay off student loans :(

~I would do everything in my power to further science including but not limited to the space program, the human genome project, as well as drug and other substance studies. I also would push for natural health products such as vitamins, etc. to be legislated because as of today companies can put whatever they want in pills and sell them for a profit without any accountability. I would also push for further exploration of "lost" areas on the planet such as deep sea, deserts, and even antartica.

~I would also push the importance of faith in people and things that have proven themselves in the past. We have trust and faith in the scientific principles of gravity and even our own sun rising and setting each day because they can be tested and the results can be repeated. Those are things worth putting faith in because they have proven themselves. That goes along with the importance of evidence to base my trust on. A healthy does of skepticism would be good for this country.

~And finally, but perhaps most importantly, I would fight for everyone's right to do whatever the hell they want. I would outlaw the Patriot Act as well as many other pieces of legislation that take away citizen's rights. There is nothing more important or worth saving and fighting for than a person's choice. Life, liberty, and happiness, right? I would support anyone's choice as long as it does not affect someone else's right to life, liberty, and happiness. I would also like to bring blatant honesty and sarcasm to public office, because we all know what a bunch of tight wads politicians can be. Also, I would try to encourage discourse and conversation about difficult issues because nothing will change if people don't talk about things and work together. Other than that, I would want my constituents to know that I love music, making creative things, and playing video games. I am married to my best friend, Greg.
