Survival

This page was created before the attack on America by the terrorist conspiracy. The attack changes many things. For one thing, Bush has proven himself an able leader and partisan politics are just so irrelevant. Go to The (un)Holy War on Sanity for current stuff.



Politics (yuck!)

Why are politics yucky? Come on! Isn't that obvious? First off, all successful politicians suck. Politics is an exercise in choosing the lesser evil, never the greater good. Secondly, politics is basically boring. Government is boring. Ideally, there shouldn't need to be any. If people were adults instead of idiot children, they could live without government. But we have government because people are assholes who need to be kept in line. That's an unpleasant truth but it isn't really fun or interesting. I would rather think about nearly anything else besides politics but the laws and polities of these, um, people, impinge upon my life so I have to give it some thought from time to time.

I'm a liberal democrat. I would be a lot left of that if practical necessity didn't dictate the need to support candidates that can realistically win. I hated it when the nation went all stupid on Clinton just because of something that happened between two consenting adults. And these Naderites make me ralph.
