DEMOCRACY IS WHEN THE POWER OF THE VOTE IS REAL
General elections normally held as an exercise of democracy loses meaning if the voters will not actually decide the verdict of the vote. It becomes fake democracy.

It is strange how people, when thinking about serious issues, start to act like the typical "hard-line adult". So far being like that didn't help much. I think we have... (read more)

McCain Incites Hatred for Obama
In my opinion, it was the beginning of the end of John McCain's campaign the moment he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. I can't even begin to recap all of the certifiable insanity that they have indulged in since then and time is short, so I have to fast-forward to today. This week John McCain, after failing miserably in the second... (read more)
