interesting myths indeed.
"The evil you know is better than the evil you don't."
Very good point, i hadnt considered this, however, i still feel as though Bush has done this country far worse then anyone has done before.
I woudl prefer not to allow him to do it again. I dont want any more people to die, americans and iraqis (i beleive its iraqi's i cant remember, got a late night brain fart), then those that already have died because of his agenda (the WMD lie). Kerry could potentially do the same, but i'd rather take the 50/50 chance of it happening, as opposed of the chance of Bush doing it again.
And the patriotic act is by far, above and beyond the level of evil then i woudl have ever expected. its like were in a democracy with little hidden communist backdoors. If he remains in power, how many more little backdoors will he make?
Additionally i think the threat of draft is not likely. If it were instated by either as president, Americans would not stand for it, and i think the goverment knows this. They may mind control us with the media, but they know we wont tolerate a draft.
I do understand that i have no taken into consideration the littler issues, like their policies in other manners, but i feel the ones mentioned are far to important to me as an american, to want to live in a country that supports those actions.
I know there is alot to be appreciative for in america, quite a lot actually, but they come at quite a price, for me at least. I greatly dislike the extent of the media mind control machine here in america. Its nothing new, but its getting to a point where companies can blatently cram fear into people about random health conditions to boost their product sales. And they can yell at you every day about supposed 'color coded' threat levels to keep you in a state of suspense and fear, and drive you to spend more and more money in the defense industry. And these are warnings issued by the government, goes to show how much our country is controlled by corporations and not a democracy. It seems the more people we bomb, the more people get mad and send us threats and the more money we make out of it. I think when Bush bombed baghdad he pissed off alot of middle easterns.
I understand this system works and affords us the luxuries we have, but it feels like the goverment is doing a "google". Google is still the coolest, easiest to use, most powerful, versatile, and imageless ads service out there. but how long until it starts changing, bit by bit, slowly. It seems they've started the process already by expanding into lots of areas. I foresee google becoming a large part , maybe even some of its software being bundled with windows, and then slowly changing over to an annoying paid service in the future. This is how it feels with the addition of the patriot act, pretty soon theres going to be all sorts of fun little backdoor rules, or so it seems.
But i digress. So yeah, Kerry has no real strong points about him, but i woudl rather not allow bush to repeat what he did with the americans and iraqis that have died already.
I was thinking of throwing my vote away and voting for nadar, but nah. Im sure we'll have another 10 or so elections to get a shot at voting for him (when he's 102).
No flame intended, these are merely my views. However, despite my opinions, i foresee Bush winning. Would be amusing if it were a counting error from florida again heh. Far too few people seem to be aware of the percentage of gun toting iraqis (the ones who were more justifyably our target) to simple innocent civilian mothers and children that were bombed in Baghdad, or the simple total amount of people killed in those bombings.
