Since it's politics, it's here!

Anyone going from Texas Tech? It's in South Carolina this year and should be fun. Texas College Dems rented a van and we're heading up there tomorrow afternoon.

Just wanted to see if anyone would be there.

The only electoral choice you have in the American "democratic" system is the illusion of choice. Candidates preach the same spinned ambiguous policy for America, claiming that they will bring about prosperity and hope to a nation in its twilight. America is enslaved by the power of the sound byte laced with fear and naive lies. As long as the American two party system is manipulated by third party interests and lobbyists, power will be out of the hands of the American people. That being said, while unions to offer certain benefits to employees such as better wages and working conditions, they also tend to become huge corrupt bureaucracies.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
