No. 327

I haven't wrote in a long time. Not because I have been incredibly busy, but I haven't felt the need. Now is the new.

So I just read this article about Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon University. A legitimate university and I take it that he was hired with a legitimate resume. One would hope and assume he is highly educated. With this education one could think they know know more about preventative than preemptive right? He has cancer? Pancreatic cancer...ok, being a good lawyer that I am, i'm in the assumption mode, so I will take my mind out of there. I don't know if he sees a doctor regularly. Is his doctor the top doc in the area. I don't know. I don't know how he got in that place. I would like to think that your doctor failed to notice this tumor in the appropriate time and you either failed to go to the doctor in the appropriate time or what have you. Let's just take it on that effect. No man that young with 5 year old children can have pancreatic cancer and die from it. Usually. but regardless, this isn't about that, but it's about what some of my peers were talking about. My peers have stated that the higher education you have the more willing you are to vote and want to get involved with how the government runs your life. They are, democratic, and damn proud of it. I would say they are conservative democrats because they haven't seen real democratic. Furthermore, they play into the game of being a democratic, which I find is hilarious when I look at their situations.

More so, do people really agree that if you have a higher level of education you are more willing to be educated about the government? Because I know plenty of people who don't have high educations and are into the things the government does. I also know lots of people with a high level of education that do too and I also know a lot of high level educated people who don't care deedly squat about the government and what they do. I have found that to be prevalent. There's two different types of educated people. Educated people who make money and make a lot of it where they can pay lobbyists to make up the government actors and the educated people who don't make money and are what we call hippies. I am talking about neither of these people. I'm talking about the ones that went to college, maybe some post work and make a decent amount of money, those are usually the non religious ones and could really care about the govt. Those people don't need to care about the government because they're life is just fine. They make enough money, have well balanced relationships, do not need god to protect them and feel that the government is just fine with the way it is, sure some may not feel that the war in iraq is good etc but it's not them that are going to change it. I love seeing people, who are poor, become poorer by going out to eat and not saving diligently, talk animately about how bush is horrible-when we all know regardless as a US country who is a great hegemon, a great ego, and a great capitalist society, and ag reat everything you want to think about would not retaliate, it's like saying, "u just hit my mother, but don't do that again." You know regardless of you're black, white, whatever, u'd still hit the guy and this isn't just about yo momma jokes. It's hilarious because they have wasted half their time instead of doing something else talk about something that they cannot change regardless. Even the next president knows that he can't just say, "we're out in 2 months that's in I don't care what people say." Also regardless of situation etc, politics isn't about looking at the past, looking at the fact pattern adn realizing that you've got a 30% chance of winning, it's really about passion about something, which these people have and so do others who run the government. Sure, passion can go aray and it sure has now, but it's like the ability of knowing you may have a chance, you still go for it. Everyone does, because you think you can be one step closer and you can make it until you come crashing down. Especially Americans, they think they're unstoppable, especially the rich ones, it's like how can you say no and how can you say you shouldn't do that and scold a bad child? It doesn't happen. But my peers reasoning of that if people were higher educated then they would be involved with the gov't and politics is absurd. They need to look at the environment, the nature of the people, what is their background etc. It's not like all people who earn doctor degrees are going to vote. Please.

Also, voting does not solve anything. Only a small part of the American population votes. They also vote thinking they will make a change. The candidates are so marginalized and catering to the center that it doesn't even matter who you vote for. And if they were all about government and the best of the people, they would realize that it's not about republican or democrat, it's about whose policies, which are essentially the same, but also who backs those policies, what are their resumes like, who works for them and their resumes. Honestly, such as Rice's resume centers largely around the Soviet Union...does that give her a edge on the Middle East and Asia...largely no. Would it be better if it were someone who was centered around those issues and knew more about them etc? Largely yes if you want correlation.

Also, people say republicans are bad, democrats are just as bad in terms of segregating and monopolizing their own interests etc. Also, Obama is a close cousin of what's his face and is basically the whitest black man I know...which makes him a keeper in terms of the republicans whilst the dems love him for all his democratic way...can I say marginalized and completed centered politically?
