A scary thought for Halloween.

Think about the last election.  One party fielded the oldest man ever to run for president, whose cancer is in remission.  His running mate was someone with such radically right-wing beliefs that she refused to reveal what magazines she read.

What's scary is that many people took them for serious candidates.  Fortunately, the powers in control of these things gave us a reasonable option.

Politics in America is fucked up because we live in a world of lies.  I do believe people can make good decisions if they are well informed.  That is why the people who run things spend a lot of money to keep us deluded.

Here's a clue.  If you have strong emotional reasons for choosing one candidate or the other, please don't vote.  You've been duped, fooled, manipulated, and I don't care how many catch phrases you have absorbed to justify your feelings.  If you vote your gut you are failing in your duty as a responsible adult to make an informed choice.  Just fume at home, throw things at the TV, shake your fist at the sky.

This isn't some game.
