all you guys are talking about politics and for some reason that is the furthest worry in my life. well maybe not, but its definatly not tops. i can still go to sleep at night not cursing at this country. i truly belive that 90% of the evils that went on and are going to go on now with W would have happened with kerry. its the same people throwing money at government thats one thing thats never going to change.
justin's right they are all corrupted. in a sense we all are too. we are all driven by our own personal needs, goals, desires.......etc. its just elevated to a much grander scale. none of this should suprise you. i'm not even the least bit shocked about the re-election. there are hundreds of thousands of people who voted for W because they think he's more christian than kerry and they allways think the Dems are out to ban their guns. plain and simple. some people think that they will be better proctected with W. (he is quite a wreckless defense spender so they might be right), but i'm sure kerry would stop at nothing to protect also. it just never crosses the mind of the factory worker in the ford plan in Iowa who gets off his shift, works on his truck, pounds a few beers, eats a dinner his wife made for him, and gets drunk in front of the TV.
its odd to talk with the indian guys in the department. amit (my labmate) said, "the american dream starts at 4 with a beer and ends at 10 in bed with a fuck." of course he's making a huge generalization about the population but i assure him that for some people that certianly is the case. i also remind him that he and the other foreign guys in the dept are the most educated from their respected countries and that you have to compare apples to apples.
the us culture is in trouble. there is a huge block of land where the population is sparse (the middle). its not a very attractive place to live atleast from our northeast point of view. the people out there live differently. call it Kid Rock culture. dirty red necks and love it. and giving the election to them is the most dangerous part of the process. the people have to change, you cant change the people. think about trying to convince your dad about some shit. subborn old bastard...... just kidding but the people dont want to change. people like us would have to move there and spread our views. jesse is right, we can sit high on our perch of the mountian of money in the northeast and throw insults all day at the midwest and nothing will happen.
i made my own little map thinking that if the smartest states, (based on a list from the netscape homepage), voted dem then how many would it take. it turns out that the top 29 smartest states whould have to vote dem. ranking low on the list are florida, california and texas all heavy hitting states. it was kinda dissapointing but then i thought about it for a few minutes. the smart are an elite few and it makes sense that CT MA VT NJ NY are all very high ranking smart states but dont carry much voting power, with the exception of NY. now please keep in mind that there are smart people in cali but their intellegence is drowned by.... well probably the mexicans. i hate to say it but thats what this rich white boy thinks. now they voted dem, but according to the list i had they are ranked 43rd. again, i'd like to say that i dont know how the states were ranked.
so doobies. it boils down to education. now are you going to settle your family down in arkansas and give your offspring a second rate education just because you want to spread knowledge? i wouldnt. so i'll probably sit ontop of the mountian of money and education power in the northeast and bitch. thats all i got to say about politics.

this post started at about 9 its around 12 now. i've been slowly drinking a 4 pack of guinness, doing some work and writing bits and peices of this post.
i picked up one of my journals last night and decided to write. before i wrote anything i read my previous rants. mostly involving girl crap, kelly crap to be more specific. it seems that from as far back as may i've been toying the idea that kelly wasnt the right girl for me. it struck me that not everyone knows i'm not dating her anymore so i guess i'll say it here. looney asked me this weekend how she was, he didnt know, and how could he have, i really havent said much to anyone.
so my journals seem to be pretty valuable at times. they dont really document events or things like that and entries are random at best. they are more like a flood of thoughts and feelings. i'd suggest keeping one so that when certian situations arise you can go back and remember what you felt or how you reacted and try to do things better.
well my last gunness is almost up and i got a few equations to work out. later
