So I was watching some news program this afternoon, one of the TVs in the campus cafeteria is tuned to a news channel and I like getting a bit of an update while I eat. Alas, I don't remember the name of the program well enough to say what it was, but.

They were talking about the possibility of Al-Qaeda in the US, scary stuff, and the host mentioned that he'd been talking to his wife and she said she was losing hope, asked him to give her a bit of hope; and he passed this question on to the guy he was interviewing. The answer went something like:

"Well, I think the American people are the hope; they're more determined, they're more bloody-minded than [the administration?], and they know that a single American is worth more than any foreigner..."

What the FUCK?

I'm pretty centrist, and both sides disgust me at the moment. The Republicans are flailing and the Democrats are too busy blaming them for everything to produce anything like coherency, and the things they ARE coherent on are WRONG half the time. Don't even get me started.

Please, just make the primary system go away and bring back the smoke-filled rooms of the seventies. Then at least some of the worst effects of the polarization might abate.

We're supposed to be so great. Why do we suck so hard?

Well, when you compare us to the grand majority of large chunks of land with people on them, we are great. We're awesome, in fact. That's the really sad and scary part.

The world just needs to be better.

Your Roxas icon makes that comment somehow even sadder than it already is.

Dammit, Roxas. You and your emo.

FINE, FINE, happy Silver (who is NEVER happy) from POKEMON. IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE CHEERFUL THAN THIS.

Blah, dumb people. At least no one on your FL is likely to agree with the guy. IT IS A START.

INDEED. THAT IT IS.
