Politics and Fear, and the President

President Election Fear

John McMain vs Barack Obama Presidential Election

This was written on October 28, 2008, during the heart of the 2008 Presidential Election by a DailySkew friend named Dani. How prophetic was he?

Had enough politics yet?

There are millions glued to the tv waiting for the next big news. Like when the big storm is coming, many of us look at the weather report, as if it were going to change the outcome. Don’t get me wrung, it’s good to listen, but is that going to make a difference? Unless of course, you have not made up your mind yet, and you are waiting for someone to make it for you.

This may be an unfair question but, is your vote decided on what you hear on tv? I mean, do you really take what you hear as the main source of information to make your pick? I’m sure there are plenty who make little or no effort in trying to figure this out any other way. But, who’s got the time right?

I personally surprised as to the great enthusiasm so far in this elections. This is a good thing. On the other hand, I have talked to many friends of mine about politics and there seems to be an enormous amount of ignorance as well. Pair this two up and it scares me. I mean many people. I’m afraid, are clueless. Don’t get me wrung, I am not as informed as I would like to be either, but many people can’t back up their own position let along that of the candidates.

Are you under the understanding that once your hero is elected, positive changes are coming your way? If you do, I like to tell you that I have been thinking about you the last few days and I have a question for you. Assuming your candidate wins, come January and you wake up in the morning, What is the first thing you are going to do? I mean, what is in your to-do list under your new president? That’s right, you don’t have a to-do list. My suggestion to you, don’t wait for him. Come out of fantasy land. What ever you are going to do then, start now. Waiting for him to put money in your pocket may turn out to be a big illusion.

    This time around I realized that the raccoon was free from suffering now. It's a shame its life had to end like that- it was blameless; humans built roads in the middle of his ancestor's forest. Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]
