wow, scathing indictments on politics by Hodgie and Zac. The matter-of-factness in both of your excellent points is scary though. As many of you know, I am not a staunch supporter of democracy - in fact Plato's "Allegory of the Ship" even came up in conversation tonight.
I must say, however, this acceptance of bullshit-politics, especially playing the game state-by-state (obviously, Obama did not mention this policy when he visited Google in November...) is sickening. For the sake of his pride, I hope he believes it is a good policy. Otherwise, how can we stand behind a "leader" who lies to get elected? Isn't that what we're trying to get rid of? Is lying about policies that much different than lying about WMD? Of course many more died in the latter, but Obama is depriving us of our sense of pride....
