yay america!

now please don't screw up anymore!




thanks and regards,
the rest of the world.







But really now, i'm still oh-so-nervous even though its been confirmed that obama's already won the elections. i'm not going to believe it until I see it in the papers tomorrow uh huh. Because the last time, I thought it was all going swell and then Bush was re-elected, which really, was a cue for a huge WTF from the around the world. And also because it is such a difficult challenging time now for him to be president in and if he screws upin his term, I would dare say we would be in for decades of ultra-conservatism and aggression which is gah ARGH NO.

America, we are watching (politely). Just so you know. You'd be amazed at how I've found people on online forums who honestly believe that non-Americans have no business contributing their opinions with regards to American politics because supposedly we should mind our business and what would we know anyway! So, just in case anybody passing this blog feels this way, excuse me, your business is our business, you guys made it this way.

And hello, I've been seeing people getting really butthurt about the supposed wave of socialism that is now going to take place with obama as president. I'm no expert on the nuances of political idealogy but dude, what is the issue! You pay more taxes...to fund services that help the country as a whole? Maybe it's too simplified a view, but it doesn't sound like a terrible idea. It's not like you guys were not channelling more money into the petroleum industry anyway.

Should not be talking about politics with only a half hour of sleep on my charts. Alright, that is all.

#EDIT:
"Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.[1]"

...again, why would people be afraid of socialism?
