It is sad. We are 18 months off from this election and we're already having debates ffs! And the biggest domestic political issue I have with this country is your point about a two party system. It's a fu*king scam, and once you realize that, you really start to feel pissed off about getting the shaft in expressing your opinion in a country of, by and for the people.

Now that's just embarrassing. 😮. I was talking about the wrong game.
Which is already done by the fact it is a M rating. She took out her aggression on the video game industry when it's the parent's faults they let their children play this game. That tells me she has a lack of common sense or logic.
John Kerry was running in 2004. It's 2007.
As profound as that sounds, not a lot has happened in the interim.
Again, the "blues" will loose if they run a candidate based soley on their gender or colour. But, maybe they won't.
The sad part about all of this is that it's a "corner turning" point.
Pay more attention to their thinly veiled political points, and less attention to their gender or race.

Not completely, but for the most part.
And I absolutely agree that there are aspects of race and gender that are going to supercede the real issues. And I find it sad that such is the case, in America...of, by and for...et all.
Said with all due reverence, but executed with all due laughability.
