Day After Election
George Bush is now our duely elected President. This time he has doubtless won it fair and square. He is the president that Americans have chosen for ourselves. Here's what I thought on the day after the election (outcome):
1) There are more stupid individuals residing in US than intelligent ones. Speaking of democracy huh? And the scary thought? Individuals of lower education/earning level tend to breed more. Professionals tend to have only 1-2 kids and a lot (myself included) even opted out of the reproduction option. Implication: the stupid:intellitual ratio will continue to increase in the generations to come. Embrace democracy. They'll always have a louder voice than us.
2) People who are incapable of independent thinking should not be allowed to vote. Voting should be one's own decision, not what the pastor says. At the very least, I think every voting individual should be made to watch/read a list of pros & cons (as close to the truth as possible) about each candidates/propositions composed by a party-neutral journalist/publication/news station.
3) Religion is the single most successful scam ever invented in the history of civilization. They create build in followers. Brain wash them since the young age and disable all ability to rational thinking. Had it been put there to promote good behaviors within a society, it is now there for the power of those in charge -- donate $$$ to your charge and do as your were told, or else you won't be going to heaven. If God is looking down on this I hope He'd sigh to how His religion has evolved. Oh, and don't forget to condemn those who love their same-sex partner for God only loves those who do not deviate from "the path."
4) When I occasionally came across a Bush supporter (defined by those who has decided to vote for Bush prior to the election day), I always asked their reasoning behind it. I can understand "I disagree with what we are doing, but it's not a good idea to change the Chief of Command during war time." I can even understand, "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know." I disagree with them, but I can understand their reasoning behind it. It's the Bush is doing a better job at fighting terrorism that I don't understand. Are we fighting terrorism by bombing the hack out of Iraq and killing their civilians? People really NEED to understand that Iraq does not have anything to do with 9/11. Is voting for the president who support an amendment to ban gay marriage really more important that other social-economic issues we are facing today? By the way, putting discrimination into the constitution is just superb. How American that is!
5) Every once in a great while we heard the number of US troops killed in Iraq. One has to go above and beyond to find out the number of Iraqii killed by our troops. Is one's life worthless if they are not an American?
That's it for the rambling of the day.
