| So what? You work for a candidate? Want a high five? Barack Obama has the right idea, but he won't do fuck all. He is essentially a centrist, and all of his 'radical' ideas are almost conservative by, say, European, Scandinavian or Canadian standards. John McCain is a loose cannon with detrimental economic policies and apocalyptic war strategies. By 2000, 2004 standards, John McCain will most certainly win. Diebold has given the election to George Bush twice, and there's no indication that the buck will stop there.
As for me? No, I'm not a US citizen. I'm Canadian. I thought you might be welcome to some outside opinion, but obviously you've learned NOTHING in the past 8 years. Your country's actions affect the entire world, you therefore have no right to call me irrelevant because of my geographic position. I am trying to do something good for the US, and for the world. I'm a member of Amnesty International, and I've been trying to campaign my government for several important changes in policy. As for America? I don't know what to do. You are a rogue cannon, and I feel as helpless as the rest of the world does. You wonder why terrorist hijack planes to slam into your buildings and kill your civilians? They're as frustrated as the rest of the world and insistent on policy change. Admittedly, the way in which they attempt to stop you are disastrous and evil, but I refuse to see how America has so been so blind to the cause and have focused to obsessively with effect. |
