Nope, not singing the song, but it’s a nice day, seriously. Almost time for me to run off to work. The hardest thing about the last few days has been fighting off the boredom. Being bored is not cool when there’s so much to discover in this world. But when you lack motivation it can be tough. Well, more than lacking motivation, it’s lacking patience.
\nBut I’ve been watching downloaded shows and stuff like that. I should catch up on my reading. Meanwhile, tomorrow also looms large on the horizon. I called Fascism for the US within my lifetime. Will Drumpf get us all the way there? I think there are enough to oppose him, but he has certainly hurried us along on this path, emboldened those who would want to see this. People in Trump shirts proclaiming “tree, rope, journalist, any questions?” or some such nonsense. I would have to look at the picture again. But do they not get, that is actual tyrrany and terrorism? And the corporate takeover of everything (Trump just put out a plan to privatize roads and bridges, WORST IDEA EVER!), is actually fascism. So, there we have that.
\nHopefully, tomorrow good sense wins out. Even if Clinton is just barely on the liberal side of the political mainstream, I’d rather have 4 more years of normal, than 4 years of God knows what. The policies are bad, and the way he goes about garnering support is worse. You can’t run campaigns like this, you really can’t, I realize the news organizations make a ton of money this way, but it is completely dysfunctional for a democracy. Capitalism is dysfunctional for a democracy, actually. If the motivation of all things is profit, then the greater good will always be overlooked, for profit. In a democracy, you sometimes must compromise whatever, for the greater good, so if you can’t compromise profit, then no good will happen, and democracy will break down. This is actually what is happening right now in the US.
\nWell anyway, now that we’re firmly in November, and the election is almost over, time to turn our sights on Thanksgiving, so I leave you this, because it’s hilarious and I agree with it:
