On a lighter note...
So I had a friend ask me who I planned on voting for in this coming election. Well I don't really like getting into politics, because that just ends up being some big messy argument where reality and reasoning breaks down into spewing of overgeneralizations and supposed facts with no information to back them up. So at any rate here is how I feel. Feel completely free to not agree with me, and don't bother trying to get me to change my mind. I've made up my mind a long time ago and no amount of recent discoveries of new "facts" or "data" or whatever spew you want to call it is going to get me to change my mind.
So as I was saying, I decided that if given a real choice, I'd actually elect and engineer to be president, or at least someone that knows how to use logic and reasoning to solve problems, has some sense of time and commitment, and can take other people's lives and opinions into account when making a decision. It doesn't necessarily have to be an engineer, but since I know them best I know there's at least a possiblity you can find all these qualities in one of them.
But since neither of the candidates chosen for us to choose demonstrate all of these qualities very well at all times I am not inclined to trust either of them as our president for the next 4 years. I won't even bother getting into spewing "facts" or anything. That part is up to you to discover and decide upon if you truly wish to make an objective decision.
So now that I've come to this conclusion that I'd rather pick neither, I'm also faced with the fact that I have to pick one. Dealing with this, I've decided that given past performance of our current president, I'm not currently happy with the outcome of many hot topics. Given this thought I might as well give someone new a chance to be president and see how he performs. This is the country of equal opportunity, right? When given the choice between knowing that I still won't be happy and the possibliby of being happier, I'll pick what's behind door number two.
Or we could just roll a die or flip a coin and leave it all to chance.
