"When she blows up, she'll scatter 'cross the hills..."

Okay! November 5th... and we have a President Elect, Obama. Congrats to the American public for sanctioning and supporting that heinous institution, The Two Party System. Not saying I have a problem with Obama or McCain (not one, several... but that is beside the point), but when it comes down to choosing between two not-so-great choices, I think we may have a problem.

Why not check out Ron Paul or Ralph Nader on their stances concerning how the country should be run. We should try to move away from That Two Party System (where both sides are backed my major slimy corporations and shady conglomorates) and move toward a better way to run our country. Just because Obama (and McCain, sure, why not) had the most support (read: cash, money, moola, dinero, whichever bogus moniker you wish to bestow upon it), I ask why should we succumb to a farcical popularity contest.

I know, I know. 'Money doesn't buy happiness, but it is sure great to have some!'.

Well, hats of to Obama for winning, a dubious honor. I sure wouldn't want to suddenly find myself in the situation of fixing EVERY DAMN THING THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY. That is way too much of the world on your shoulders, Atlas. I do realize that with our Checks and Balances system, the President has about as much influence on what goes on in our country as a flea has on the giant dog it inhabits, but poor Mr. President. He has to deal with all those ignorant fools who believe the President can drastically CHANGE THINGS that are wrong... and so, a few years down the road, when America realizes nothing significant has been done to FIX ______ (insert gripe here), poor Mr. President will be, if not the greatest, at least most popular, Scapegoat in the world.

Yay for America. I bet the Fouding Father's are spining (and vomiting) in their graves.

Wait a moment! Before you start calling me down as a racist, this rant has nothing to do with color, race, sex, what-have-you. I am in no way racist. I love Everyone, and give respect to those who deserve it. So please, before you start thinking I am just saying this because *gasp* we finally have someone other than an old white dude as our Commander in Chief, please recant that thought. I feel sorry for all of our Presidents. Because, Atlas, the world is too large.

I do secretly hope Obama can turn things around, just to have proof that fairy-tales do come true.
