Those who know me well know that I truly enjoy politics for the entertainment value alone. This election year in particular has sparked my interest more than any other.
Some political rants:
- Please stop blaming the state of the economy on President Bush. If you blame him for the bad, I’ll have to thank him for the boom of Web 2.0, and we all know the government had nothing to do with it.
- File under future reference: In the case you elect war mongering idiots, blame yourself then don’t reelect them. Remember the fool me twice quote? It applies.
- It would be nice if the government didn’t want to be involved in monitoring our personal lives or increasing our taxes. It would also be nice if they realized that there are people in this country who need help and that those people can’t afford lobbyists. Neither of the two major parties does either well.
- Is there someone out there willing to run for office who actually understand technology and the important issues at stake regarding the future of information distribution? Is there even an assistant, aide, or secretary who has a twenty-something kid who can explain some of this stuff to someone important? Remember “knowledge is power“. It would be nice if the government had some.
- Hillary just referred to the “YouTubes” in a televised debate with Barack Obama. Look people there are no “tubes”. The Internet is not Raging Waters.
- A fence across the border with Mexico is a stupid idea. It will cost a fortune, be completely mismanaged, and not work. America is not China attempting to protect itself from the Mongol horde. In Boston they couldn’t even dig a hole correctly. It is inconceivable that a fence would do anything other than cost this country money that we don’t really have.
There. My political rants are complete. That wasn’t too bad, was it?
