LISTS!!!!!
I was reading some of my old posts, based on the theory that the only thing worth reading is stuff I wrote myself. And guess what, I was right! Any ways I noticed some things, like I use to have a whole lot more poetry. And Lists. But there is still a consistant amount of yelling.
It brings back the memories. With things changing, I thought you might appreciate, a List.
Lists I enjoy
-Top 10 Gregorian Chants
-100 Ways to Use Cheese
-1,347,569 Pratical Uses for Baking Soda
-he Mysterious List of Myster
-7 Reasons Jesus is not a Socialist
-10 Reasons Shron is always wrong... or 17, if you count the... you know
-The Impossilbe List of Pi Number of Reasons this List is Impossible
-The Necro-list-acron (Otherwise known as WWoN(WWoS?)'s shopping list; made out of human skin, if you read even the first few items, it will drive you made. example: item #23- Fat Free Yogurt that has does not obey the laws of Euclidean Geometry)
-A list of reasons that last list is just awesome
Anyways, in conclusion, I rock.
This is longer then usual, still no pictures
WWoN, or maybe its more accurate now to call her WWoS, told me to write about the election.
And indeed it was a momentous election in Nunavet. Oh, wait, she meant the other one.
So we have a really screwed up view of democracy, I realized. And I am sure you have heard some version of this rant before. But we do. Let me tell you why. The people who shape Conservative and Liberal ideas, dont really believe in democracy. I know what your thinking "Well your half right, but when it comes to My Guys you out of the freaking ball park. My Guys represent truth and democracy and indeed, good. The other guys have sold their souls to socialism and or corporate interests. Indeed, that you might suggest there is some moral equality between what is obviously the angelic ideology I support and the satanic rite that is the otherside of the sense, sickens me. I hope you are eaten by those conservative and or liberal running dogs and or tax and spenders that you are so obviously supporting. Good day sir." And of course, you will probably keep on going. If I were to say things like "Barack Obama isnt a socialist" or "John Macain was not a carbon copy of Bush", you would probably throw up a little in your mouth.
Then you might be confused; How does supporting who is right mean I am not supporting democracy?
Well, think about what you thoughts about democracy when you guy looses? And what where your thoughts when your guys win? If your thoughts where 'today, Democracy has failed' and 'Today we finally have democracy', then you dont believe in Democracy. You believe in, you know, whatever you believe in, and democracy is a tool to get to whatever you believe in. And I am sure that if an Absolute dictator arose that agreed with you %100 about everything, you would feel pretty good about it. Finally, you might say, we have taken power away from those stupid jerks.
Heres a thought. Democracy hasnt failed if your guy doesnt win. You want to know when democracy actually failed, take a look at German history. Democracy has failed when the power to change government has been removed from the people.
Ah, you say, corperate-lobbyist-feminist interests have taken over government. The poeple, you say, are no longer really in charge. I am calling BS on that. The only reason Corperations and Lobbyist have influence on government, is because we, the electorate, tolerate it. Barack Obama isnt going to change a damn thing, unless the electorate changes. I have no problem with Political parties, politicians, and Liberals and Conservatives. What I have a problem with is the electorate. If the country sucks, its because of its voters; so yes, I am blaming you, all, for the problems of the world. Maybe Americans especially, but we have our own issues up here. And as charismatic as Barack Obama is, as historic an election it has been, I will be honest, I have my doubts. Its not that I think Obama isnt sincere, its that I think the people, the electorate, may not be. If we want change, we have to start with ourselves.
That was too much deepness. You know what, maybe we shouldnt have democracies. Being a King, I have always been more partial to Absolute Monarcies. We could make Barack Emperor of America, and William Shatner the King of Canada. Unless of course, you want me to take over. AND YE, I WOULD BE A TERRIBLE FORCE, THAT GIVETH THE CHEESE, AND TAKETH THE CHEESE AWAY.
That feels better. Blame WWoN(WWoS?)
ps: the Quebec election is coming up for all those people who just cant get enough of politics. Its so much cooler then nunavets elections. I mean seriously, whats the fun in 'consensus' politics. Next time I should totally rant about how stupid it is for Americans to hate the french, but you probably hate the french anyways. Well on the behalf of my french half, bite me.
