Good article for those of you lemmings voting today and think your vote really counts. I am glad we spent 6 billion on this election to determine who is the head corporate puppet because we have nothing better to spend it on. hehe
If you think whoever get the most votes wins talk to Al Gore ;-)
Google Co-Founder, Sergey Brin, Calls On Politicians To Abandon Political Parties
"I must confess, I am dreading today’s elections.
Not because of who might win or lose.
Not because as a Californian, my vote for President will count 1/3 as much as an Alaskan (actually it won’t matter at all — I’m not in a swing state).
Not because my vote for Senate will count 1/50 as much as an Alaskan.
But because no matter what the outcome, our government will still be a giant bonfire of partisanship. It is ironic since whenever I have met with our elected officials they are invariably thoughtful, well-meaning people. And yet collectively 90% of their effort seems to be focused on how to stick it to the other party.
So my plea to the victors — whoever they might be: please withdraw from your respective parties and govern as independents in name and in spirit. It is probably the biggest contribution you can make to the country.
[If you agree, pass it on to your newly elected officials.]"
