Better Use of the SimVac?

Meh. Our form of democracy doesn't really do what it's supposed to. Country is generally too large of a level of social organization to do anything really useful except get on people's nerves. Decentralization actually works surprisingly well. Just ask ants. They've taken over the world without anything resembling a leader. Even the queen is much more like the germ cells of a single organism than any sort of administrator.

I know,, it's the only sensible thing to do, but I still feel cheated! It's the empty promises at election time that really get to me!
They get to you only if you believe them. It's the same deal with EA hypemongering. I don't believe a word of that shit, so it doesn't bother me when they don't deliver. I just go, "Meh, they always lie anyway."

I vote, though it doesn't make a difference. American politics are fubar. I vote for candidates I know can't win. And also know that even if voting main party, my vote doesn't really count. The elector votes. He is Supposed to vote in the interest of his constituency, but is not Required to. In this digital age why can't we have a true democracy? Or, at the Very least, aim for something closer to the republic that we claim we are.
Bush is an idiot. I would be very amused at the ridiculous things he says and does, if he were anyone other than the president. I am ashamed to belong to a country that would elect him, not once but twice.
"I want it to be said that the Bush administration was a results-oriented administration, because I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be - a more literate country and a hopefuller country." -George W. Bush, Jan. 2001
How can I not be proud of this guy?
The whole thing makes me worry....

Pssh. Snow is good. In a few years when global warming causes everything down south to BURST INTO FLAMES from the sheer heat, up here it'll still be quite tolerable. THEN who's going to be laughing, hrm?!? Besides, what's the value in going out in short sleeves? You can be just as comfy going out in FULL BODY ARMOR, when it's cold, and be better protected, too. You should ALWAYS wear body armor!

That sounds like something my son would say....

And if you're a girl, body armor is sexy when paired with a gun and a lead pipe that goes KRONG! ;) Even girls should ALWAYS WEAR BODY ARMOR.
