If you want to see people acting like complete idiots, check out either, or both, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Watch a couple of minutes and stomach a speech or two and you come to one conclusion: Aliens not only will not make contact with us but absolutely refuse to do so. I would not be surprised to learn that this planet is under some sort of extra-terrestial quarantine.
I saw a little bit of the both and concluded it was a waste of time. The DNC is about three hours away in Charlotte, NC so that catches a little more of the local coverage and I found it ironic that the Democrats decry "corporate greed" (rightfully so...) but had planned on having their candidate's nomination in Bank of America Stadium. In fact, having their convention in Wall Street South seems a little hypocritical.
On the other side, Mitt Romney is shouting about "fair share" of taxes when he is clearly a creature of Wall Street.
It would be great to see George Washington or Teddy Roosevelt return but it does not look like that is happening this time around.
Sometimes you feel like you should flip a coin in the voting booth. When you look at an out of control government spending money like a fleet of drunken sailors, crippling unemployment, constant trial ballons about higher taxes, and increasing poverty, it is clearly time to change course.
Unfortunately, voting for the other guy has the same feel you have when you throw a Hail Mary pass....
