Election Day

i voted!
yes, it's that important, especially for women. watch the movie Iron Jawed Angels if you get the chance. awesome.
yes, i've decided no more caps unless i'm making a point or need them for other reasons. the shift key takes too much effort. this does not mean, however, that my posts are going to become ill-formed, grammar-deprived, run-on sentences. just taking a page from e.e. cummings. :)
i'm in chat as i type listening to and participating in the banter about the election. feeling somewhat sorry for our foreign chatters...this must bore them to tears LOL. although one astute aussie chatter did mention it is important for her to pay attention to US politics as their leader and ours are generally allies. cheers, friend!
now i've gone invisible in chat and can't get back in...fucking yahoo. i know it's a free service but for fuck's sake, people, get your shit together already.
so i guess i'll continue my diatribe in here about the electoral system. in a word, WTF?!?! millions and millions of people vote and in the end it doesn't mean snakeshit in the presidential election? how absurd. this country SERIOUSLY needs to catch up some old ways of thinking. that and term limits. for the love of pete, if the prez is doing a good job, and we keep reELECTING him (see, it's a democracy) then why can't he be there for 50 years if we want? insane.
while we're on the subject of political things, i'll just take this opportunity to mention that i do NOT think the requirement of being born in the USA should be changed for the presidential nomination. okok, considering what some immigrants go through perhaps they have a better love of this country than some americans do. but i have serious doubts that should push come to shove and our german president has to nuke germany, he'll be able to do it. what if he's still got family there, some deep ties to his motherland, or some property he owns or someshit...no thanks. gubernatorial candidates are one thing, presidential quite another.
still can't get back into chat. yeehaw.
wrapping this up. more later...
