Paradox: A Black President In The White House
One thing clear up-front. I have no problem with black people. With no race actually. Not even with gay as long as they don't gain gayn interest in me :)
I'm watching the presidential shift in the USA and one thing comes to my mind: LORDI! In 2006 the Eurovision song contest was won by a band of rockers from Finland that won just because they appealed a large category of people that never had representation there. Heavy metal crazy-ass rockers! And the rockers voted, oh shit they voted! And they won! For their music ... no. Just because they represented a niche which no one else appealed to.
I look at Barack Hussein Obama (as in Saddam Hussein) and I see a winner who did the same thing. Found his niche and appealed to it. And people bought it. He appealed to all those who were / felt different. And he won! I won't discuss whether he will be a good president or not. Whoever is naive enough to think that the President rules the USA and Presidents are elected democratically (and anyone can get President) still has a shitload of homework to do and needs proper grounding. Maybe people did vote for him ... after brainwashed / manipulated.
Choice between two is no choice. Especially if the other one has been preceded by George War Bush. Yet, I do think/hope that maybe he'll act smarter the GWB. Do learn from me that nothing has changed. Except the skin color and popular support ... for now!
Same war for oil, same fake anti-terrorist struggle, same world domination / policing ideas ... same ol' shit!
PS: Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
right or left they are both still way right of the line. Its all slow steps towards a positive though, and I do think niche voters brought obama to where he is. it doesn’t mean much for true liberals and is quite a token gesture but hell, even a little movement left is a good thing.
lucky he doesnt have absolute power eh? I would say his part power will inevitably part corrupt him. regardless of the type / colour man he is.
300 years time, hopefully this will be seen as an early step along a good path.
Make love not war :)
p.s. do you do quite well off the hostgator ad? Was thinking of doing similar.
Believe it or not most visitors already have hosting :)
The ad has been up for a few days and traffic here is (very) poor, so nothing spectacular.
Still working to divert 500+ daily on tellinya.com here.
Then I will see how it goes and I’ll update you.
PS: I have to write a review about HG to convince people but I don’t have the time right now as it’s not short.
spellcheck?
If I would spellcheck I would mingle too well with the native English speakers or those that pay attention to such details.
I gotta sound a bit dumb so people can figure out I’m foreign :)
The evolved human brain is built to fix spelling mistakes almost without noticing them. That’s how knock-offs pass as real stuff.
PS: … and I’m sorry for probably slaughtering your language and / or political beliefs.
You’re right, but he was still a better candidate then McCain regardless. And I find the “(as in Saddam Hussein)” really pathetic.
I find it a fun coincidence. A twist of fate :)
His ‘niche’ was change… believe it or not. Not all Americans are
war mongering gun toting hypocrites.
I know … but the leaders get elected somehow.
Btw … I like his first decisions. Hope he can get through with them and won’t be blocked by ‘the others’.
