flamingswordHmmm. Doug is right. Politics *would* be more fun to watch if it were done in WWF style. All the posturing and the power suits and the buzzwords would fit perfectly well into an arena with screaming fans and large belt buckles.
It makes sense that what appeals to one demographic isn't so different from what appeals to another, in kind if not in style.
Are stylistic differences so important? I wonder. Most differences between our lovely presidential candidates only go as deep as the subtle shading differences in red power ties and pleasantly inconsequential words on a teleprompter. They try not to look like clones, and they don't succeed. Most people who vote still pretend that the only options are the two on the screen, the two printed neatly on the ballot.
I'm seriously considering writing in either Cthulhu or Ralph Nader for president on my ballot, as I am bored and depressed with the multimillion dollar pageant for votes.
Most people are so biased against aggression that they only fear and respect the wrath of the greater men.
I am not a wrathful person. Maybe someday people will learn to fear my boredom.
