Why I couldn't be a Politician

[Youngblood]

I wrote this is an opinions paper for school, and as I was on Saddo at the time, decided to do my homework and make a post at the same time. Already got an A+ on it, btw.

Also stated I couldn't vote, but I do/did find the american elections interesting...moreso then our Canadian ones, which just finished locally and we elected an NDP representative...who is representing a 4th place governing body nationally. Interesting enough, friends and family here...all seem to know more about the american race. This doesn't come as any surprise to me. When I was in grade 3, they had a national poll of grade 3's at the time...and asked them who was our Prime Minister. 80% answered George Bush. (I was one of the few who actually knew)

And yea, it was making me physically sick. Likely because of my beliefs regarding racism. Not to mention my recent historical research.

What about racism? What about historical research?....you know specifically. I mean dog crap alone doesn't make me mad but if I step in it then yeah I might get a little ticked off.

Racism by itself is bad but in the context of this Presidential Race it has been nothing close to what it would have been 50-60 years ago.

As for historical research, what about it? Research about what and why is it relevant to this election?


I am honestly interested about what conclusions you have come to

[Youngblood]

My conclusions are my own, and honestly, I don't really feel like discussing or debating them at the moment. Maybe when I get more removed from them. As well as the history of humankinds propensity to discriminate.

Feel free to leave your own thoughts, and if others want to argue and debate, then by all means, let it happen. They are a part of the political process, and the emotions behind them a reasoning in the american elections. But I have already covered this, and you essentially agreed.

But yea, another day. I need my stomach for more urgent matters personally, a fight on Saturday.

Fine, I was just curious is all. I just think the whole racism thing gets played up a tad too much, it's not like Barrack Obama (or his ancestors for that matter) is working fields or moving to the back of the bus or having crosses burned in his yard, he's the Democrat candidate for President so let's please take some time and admire where we are right now...I don't like the guy but it's great so many others do.

Ive mentioned this before a long time ago,but we had a councillor in Chambers in Frankston ,he owned a farm and was a real mans man,they didnt like his brash outspoken ways and used to gang up on him. He bought in a bag of tiger snakes into the meeting one day and let them go yelling out "You're all nothing but but a pack of lying snakes' Love his work He gets the Saddo cool grin honours.
