At some point one realizes the universality of futility. One realizes that the other guy, the one you can't possibly agree with, holds to his convictions with the same fervor that you hold to yours. Namely, that the guy you are rooting for is simply a better fit than the one you are rooting against. This is all well and good. We don't agree. Sure. And we have these irrational scenarios constructed out of the most rational architecture our imagination can offer that tell us the alternative is just too terrible, too terrible!But really. Really. Can Barak Obama change the world? Can he possibly be that agent of fundamental difference we are really looking for? I would readily posit not. The pollution stands, and we are neck high in it. Noise pollution, light pollution, ocean pollution, air pollution, moral pollution, economic pollution, logic pollution, religious pollution, pollution pollution. These are our just excrimental ends. Our final shit laden fulfillment. You can't stop yourself from crapping any more than politicians can stop themselves qualifying. And if they aren't qualifying, they really are scary and that little terrifying structure in that cranium of yours is one hundred percent the real deal. And watch out for the constipation.

there's the whole thing with changing the world. and then there's the smaller bite: that to many a people, he will be a healing hand. Just seeing him up there will have a healing effect. It could make people self-righteous. It could make people do a lot of shit-talking. But I think it will have a positive healing effect. And that is a good thing. period.
All the living biomass is in for a definite change. The carrying capacity of most ecosystems will drop. Life will adjust with decreased diversity and populations. What can you do? It has little to do with voting. YOu just brace yourself and keep kettles of vodka in the garage.
mmm. beer.
