Political parties suck.
When I was in Canada I voted for the Conservative Party. I am sure people wanted to pour cold water over me or something, but I just didn't think Stephen Harper was all bad.
Now that I am living in Australia, I get quite irritated by John Howard, who's a liberal (but that's just Australian for "conservative" in party politics). Anyway, John Howard is getting replaced.
I find the notion of aligning yourself with a party to be totally irrational... There is not one person I know, with whom I totally agree, no matter what "party" he or she belongs to, and whether that "party" is left, right, or centre leaning. Given this, how can I totally agree with a certain party? Whatever happened to thinking for myself on an issue-by-issue basis?
Why do I feel like cartoons like South Park present sad but invariable truths sometimes? (re: the Giant Douche v Turd Sandwich episode). Perhaps this is only reflective of what I feel at the moment, which is cynicism. Does everyone get like this when they realize their "play-years" are behind them? (For me this is approaching 30) The cynicism may further be reflective of a change of my love for Peanuts. I still love the strip, but whereas I loved it for its cuteness when I was younger, I now love it for its darkness. Is this why I think political parties suck?

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
no no... you think political parties suck because they *do* suck. that's all. =)
true... but parties may be a byproduct of democracy. So perhaps, it is people in parties who suck, but then, the "suckiness" would spread too far!
Possibly it's politics that sucks.
(Hey Jessica, how's it going?)
