I am a radical. I dont believe their is a single difference between Dems and Repubs. I voted for Nader in 2004 and will vote for him this year, but even if he personally called me up and asked me to work on his campaign I would refuse to. Our generation seems to be more smitten with a political candidate than in any time in history and all the rockers love him as well, but I dont give a hoot about him personally.
In 2006 I turned my back on 6 years of heavy duty acitivsm and emmersing myself in everything political. I have spent the last year and a half immersing myself in all things personal.
Tonight I plan on watching The Daily Show for the first time in a long time.
I have no qualms whatsoever, that in the most important election of my lfietime, I have no interest whatsoever in any of it, and that I will be recieving all my news, ALL my news, from The Onion and The daily Show.
The world has gone gaga for Obama and Election 08. I havent. And I dont plan to change. It doesnt interest me in the least.
The biggest hoot yet, was when I was channel surfing. Cnn was saying, "obama is just introducing himself now to the american people". What the hell was the last 15 months? I know more about Hil and Obama than I ever care to know about anyone. Another great snippet of wisdom was "american voters now must decide which candidate is telling the truth and will deliver". As if its a given either of them will deliver. Politicans lie. Its a dictionary definiton. So to expect obama or mccain to be different is almost saccreligious.
I have never been as radical, but I have never been as cynical as I am now.

a time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
Sorry, I'm in a goofy mood. Hope that cynicism clears up for ya, though
