We have an upcoming election for governor coming up in Maryland and the incumbent is the obvious best choice in my mind, but politicians in general seem to have their collective heads up their asses. Almost all of them went to help the education process by spending us into the poor house. Plus I hear a fair amount of women who are voting for a candidate because a candidate is good looking. Is this the same feminist group that wants me to respect their intellect?
Also it is amazing how the entire media and "leadership" ignore the confluence of problems that I see forthcoming which are going to hit the country like a brick in the head. We have the end of cheap oil (it's only going to go up long term), the influx of illegal immigration (if you think we just hit 300,000,000 million in this country today you didn't count everyone), the aging baby boomers (who will cause two big impacts, a strain on the health care system and a withdraw of money from the stock market), an overwhelming national debt, a rapidly growing population, an infrastructure that is in huge need of maintenance and upkeep; and the globalization of the economy.
Personally I see a world wide economic downturn in the near term future. Eventually we may get to that Star Trek or Legion of Super Hero type universe, but it is going to be a bumpy damn ride in getting there.

ReplyDeleteYou must have missed the "We're not all one Giant Hive Vagina" memo.
Some women are intelligent, some are shallow. Just like men.
Ragnell - I know, it was a rant, but it is just disappointing as the example in my mind is a woman who is very bright and otherwise thoughtful and it is frustrationg that when it was coming to the election of the governor that all she could say why she was voting for the guy was he's hot.
ReplyDeleteFor a rant I use extremely broad brush strokes.
You know, a lot of guys do stuff like that too - make a choice about, say, who to hire based on how attractive the girl applying is as opposed to their qualifications.
ReplyDeletePolitics suck ass. I want to live in the Federation of Planets now.
