who didn't see this coming?

well, i wasn't too shocked when i saw that the chief justice is in bad health. in fact, i have wondered why he has not retired before now, leaving bush plenty of time to replace him. but it's time for some change.

i still feel that the most important issue in almost any presidential election should be the supreme court, as this is the way that the president most can affect your life ... other than going to war.

so i am totally confused by the small priority that people put on those two issues. i can't say it enough, what is wrong with the american people? even the ones that make it seem like they are fighting for noble issues often fall in line with rigid in-the-box thinking on other issues ... which they just don't hold up as noble.

i don't think it's too much to ask that people be able to think for themselves. i am scared that too many people are voting because of what the believe is wrong, not for what they believe is right. therefore, they are not pushing the development of society.

and frankly, that's what's wrong with american society. it just stopped developing. we are so much of the evil of our history. we are the slaveowners. we are the puritans. we are the whores and imperialists that we ran from. we are the society obsessed with the expression of violence and the rejection of sexuality.

and worst of all, we are the nation that endorses so adamently the diametric approach to current events. you have to fall on one side of an issue or another. there is no depth. and then the roaches seem to make it as if because you believe one thing, it must make you a certain type of person. there is no such thing as democracy in the united states anymore.

we can't even think for ourselves. we think the thoughts of tradition and religion while celebrating our individuality. and the sad thing is that we have bought our individuality from people that make money by making as many people the same as possible.

well, fuck you if you think that progression is a black or white issue.
