vote in your own self-interest. which president is likely to do the least damage?

ah, the epitome of voting for the lesser of two evils, which guarantees only the speed of one's descent into chaos and hell. when do we get the option of the greater of two goods? at what point did this universe decide to only offer evil? it sickens me to think of continuing in that vein. the system itself is a fraudulent juggernaut rolling off a cliff exactly because we have continued to choose from evil, lesser or no, every four years. why, if politicians truly are inherently undeserving of trust, would i vote for one and hand over my power and trust to them?

"so if you cannot get everything you ever wanted in a politician immediately you will refuse to participate? doesn't a step in the right direction - at least - hold any appeal for you?"

friend johnasmodeus, i've never gotten half of what i've desired from any politician. they take money from us, but they don't work for us. as for right directions, as i pointed out before, what change of direction can there be if one is always but choosing from the lesser of two vehicles going the wrong way?

vote for obama because mccain is a war-monger. gee, are we still falling for media messaging? i mean c'mon, people aren't figuring mccain as a serious hawk except that the media keeps telling them so. whoever gets elected is having a loaded gun with the safety off pointed at innocent people handed to them. all the teenage kids aren't going to give the bb gun to the kid who's going to put it safely away. they are willing to hand it to obama. do you think that means he'll put it away? hmmm...

change. ha.

as for not participating, there is no thought that goes unheeded from this plane. we are all participatory as we are all infinitely interconnected. my heart and will are extremely involved in this presidential race, and any steps in the "right" direction are extremely appealing. and in positive consciousness of seeing the beastly machine for what it is, i work to cast my vote as hundredth monkey in favor of a truly new direction, in favor of the greater and greatest of all goods, by not casting a vote in favor of the lesser of anything.

i cast my vote for all of us, that we become self-determinant and discerning. that we refuse product loyalty from dish-soaps to democracy. that we begin to effect the necessary change in our hearts and wills. and if obama's the dude, then he'll shine because we overwhelm him with our light.

they don't do a damn thing that we haven't allowed or willed already. it is time for that old song and dance to go bye-bye!
