I like Marx towards the end, when he started incorporating more capitalistic ideas into things.

We just had an election here, with highly unusual results. We won't know for days who can form a government.

The Green party captured 12% of the popular vote, which is a lot, and they'll hold the balance of power in Parliament.

Very interesting times.

Ours is in two months and two weeks. It'll be interesting, what with this "Ground Zero Mosque" BS that Newt and Palin have been making a mountain out of an anthill about.

Oh gods Palin.


She scares the crap out of me.



Seriously, like, I'd probably attempt to flee the country if she became president.

She doesn't have what it takes to make it, so I would say it's a non-issue.

Sarah Palin won't accomplish anything (and I'll try to refrain from my anti-Palin rant) unless she focuses on the economy. Right now, she doesn't have a clue what to do with jobs, and is only relevant as a public speaker who wants to see social change in the US.

As for the mosque issue, wow. Just wow. I believe the media has helped blow this up into a ridiculous issue that has nothing to do with Americans. The politicians  are using this for political gain to appeal to disenfranchised voters, and opponents of this mosque are subconsciously associating moderate Islam with terrorism; by not allowing freedom of religion to occur (on private property nonetheless), the country continues to split apart. And bad economic times + racial conflict = rise in racism.

The lack of responsibility or accountability within the media coupled with 24-hour news... and the idea that ratings > quality unbiased reporting... has caused a complete crash in our social structure in this country.

America is fucking failcascading... as soon as I have the money I'm moving.

Yes. Closer to the Australian Labor and Greens then anything.
Which sounds just about right to me.

Tony Abbott. Do not want. ;)

I'm with Jianni, if Abbot ends up becoming Prime Minister, you might wanna think about somewhere else.

He doesn't like boat people. You'll probably end up interned in a camp in the desert or something.

Also, A-cup breasts are banned, the trees are full of dropbears and the nooks and crannys are filled with giant poisonous creatures.

However it is we're doing it this week.

Yeah those were the two biggest issues for my voting this time. No-one else really seemed to understand why I thought manditory internet filtering was such a big deal.

Maybe it's because I'm a gamer or something. Sigh.
