I voted today. I voted for Golisano for governor, despite the fact that I don't think he'll win. That said, I do NOT want Carl McCall for governor because he said (and never denied it) that upstate new york gets too much money for education. Ex-squeeze me? Me no think so! I strongly suspect Pataki will win and that's OK.
It's amazing how many people out there even in Internet-land couldn't be bothered to vote today. The thought is, honestly, mind boggling. This is the one say we common people have in politics, to vote in the ones we like and vote out those we don't like. So many of us get angry at the state of the US today, with Bush screaming for war in Iraq and an economy that's still a bit too rocky and with big business still run by a bunch of unethical fucktards.. and they can't be bothered to exercise the one right they have to define public policy?
It's really sad to me how much apathy there is.
Yeah, many of the politics are crooks and, even in our governatorial races, none of them seem to be GOOD men, but that doesn't mean that they're all equally bad.
So.. anyways... I voted. I hope that I'm not too unhappy with the results when they finally come in.
I got the new Terry Pratchett Book "Night Watch". I'm happy about this. I love Terry Pratchett. He's my favorite author :D
Not much else, so I'll end with.. a quiz!
Congratulations, you're New York City, the Big Apple.
What US city are you? Take the quiz by Girlwithagun.
Overwhelming to visitors, this bustling city can seem hard and imposing. With so much going on, there is an axiom that if you visit NY for a day you will see most of what you want; for a week, some of what you want; and if you live there, you will see none of it. It is a city made by people, changed in some small way by everyone who passes through it. Despite what anyone may have ever said about it, New York has shown a tremendous spirit. At their heart, New Yorkers are symbolic of the American Spirit, and have become the poster children for defiance in the face of adversity.
