End of an era

So tomorrow is election day. This can only mean one thing....I am extremely over campaign commercials, tweets trashing the opponent, and skewed newscasts swearing the candidate loved by the financial investor of that particular news channel is winning.

Of course, I did my own research. In doing so, I found out some funny/scary/crazy facts. The state I live in has a gal running for Governor whose party affiliation is The United States Marijuana Party. Their policies? You guessed it. To legalize the possession/use/distribution of good ole mary jane. While other politicians focused on the economy, healthcare, and renewable energy, her policies were simply, "25 Reasons Why Marijuana Should Be Legalized." I kid you not. I was shocked. I guess I don't care all that much about things like this because there is no way on God's green earth that MJ will ever be legal, but also that someone would devote so much time/energy/money to the freeing of MJ.

In scarier news, there's also a gal candidate running for Pres (no way she will ever get elected anyway but...) whose party affiliation is the Socialist/Liberation Party. Socialist. How is a Socialist even allowed to run for Pres of our democratic, constitution-based, free country? I mean, just ponder that.

All this to say, this election is going to determine the fate of America I think. The world is changing more and more everyday and America is always on the forefront of those changes. I guess I always thought that America would be a country of freedom, but it is very clear that we are headed towards our own demise.

It's been easy because people are willing to be led, blind folded, to the toilet for their own swirlies, all the while hearing the sound of flushing toilets and screaming nerds.

As I write, President Obama is delivering a "Vote for Me" speech during the half time of Monday Night Football. All the words are the same...change, hope, etc. Except nothing has changed and people have even less hope than they did 4 years ago.

Anyways, I promised myself I wouldn't get carried away with this post.

I will end to say this...
