ugh
I'd prefer not to acknowledge the existance of 5:00am. Unfortunately, my tummy isn't cooperating and I'm waiting for the Pepto Bismol to kick in.
I'll be very happy when this election thing is over and done with. There was a time, not too long ago, when I considered myself above politics. Aloof. Politicians were just subtle shadings of the same thing and it didn't really matter who got in. Because, and this is the important part, deep down, they were all working towards the common good. I was a bit naive.
That was before I realized how much I really fucking hate neo-conservatives.
It really doesn't matter what party they belong to. I hate the bastards. It's not a left-wing/right-wing thing. I don't really mind old-fashioned conservatives. I think Brian Mulroney was unfairly demonized, for example. Since then, though, we've been left with the Ralph Kleins, Mike Harrises and George W. Bushes of the world. People whose sole aspiration for government is to dismantle it. Well, everything except the police and the military. Their only goal is to destroy, abolish and sell off everything that's been built up for the last two centuries, piece by piece, asset by asset. Until we're all living in some fucking Ayn Rand utopia where we're happily tucked away in our shack in the woods, clutching our shotguns to our chest, daring our former fellow citizens to take one more step and we'll blow their fucking heads off.
I don't think I'm exaggerating.
I deeply want these people out of politics. So much it hurts. I want them gone right now. But mostly I don't want to think about it anymore.
