oh, i thought this was the thread to RUIN a country.
dammit.
in local news, there's an ad on the radio telling me that some of the people funding the democrat candidate for congress are democrats.
i shit you not.
also, a dude called in to the local "call in and either talk about shit you don't know, try to sell shit, try to buy shit, or possibly read a passage from the bible, but please stop stalking the host" show,
and,
i paraphrase but this is the gist, yeah,
he said that he was old,
and that he lived on a fixed income,
and those folks in washington refused to raise the cost of living,
so we should all vote republican this election.
now, we all have our own misguided loyalty to the republican, democrat, or set shit on fire and riot parties.
all three of them have consistently let all of us down in many, many ways.
and i really don't have a high expectation for humanity. i mean, if i order a hamburger, and reply to the inevitable question with "no, ma'am, no cheese. please.", and do not receive cheese on my hamburger,
then i go home,
i go to the garage,
i lift up the drop cloth from over the easel,
and i put one, singular, lonely mark of chalk into the: "totally didn't fuck up for once, maybe there IS hope for the future of humanity" column.
so,
i don't expect to hear anything reasonable about or from politics in any facet.
but, this left me more jaded.
