catscradle Oct. 18th, 2004 02:49 pm)These bastard students keep calling the damn office and I have no time to read up on candidates and issues for the election. Hey, it's not like it's slacking if it's for the good of the country, is it?
I'm trying to find out if there are legitimate third party candidates in Colorado, but it's starting to look extemely bi-partisan here. There are some third party people running, but so far they either want to make the bible an important part of my daily life or they're write-ins with no information on them other than their name. There's a Libertarian I might vote for Senate by default because he's the only non-slacker that supplied the constituents with some info. That and both the republican and democrat cadidates make my skin crawl. It's very frustrating.
And there are a few amendments here I'm still trying to figure out if a yes vote means no or a no vote means yes. I swear Wittgenstein's Tractatus is easier to read. There's one amendment TV ad I love for renewable energy where all these windmills and the will of God resolve all our energy problems. I call it the Don Quixote Act. The amendment basically hands over a blank check to the electric companies on a hope that the money gets used for solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectricity, and hydrogen fuel cells as a source for energy. With no way to ensure that's what the money will get used for. Yeah, electric companies have just SO proved their trust worthiness. . .
