I think that Douglas Adams had the clearest understanding of the world when he wrote that the problem with politics, and thus with life, the universe, and everything, is that anyone who possesses the desire and ambition to run for elected office should absolutely, under no circumstances, ever be allowed to occupy that office. And I'm thinking about this on the heels of the installation of Mexico's 'alternate' government following a botched election, early disputed results of an election in the Congo, the French media's fascination with the Socialist presidential candidate, and the clamour for Tony Blair's resignation. So much for democracy saving the world. And communism's had its fling. I think the world's been too quick to condemn the best form of government. A dictatorship. The problem though is that its just always the wrong dictator. Hitler was the problem, not the system. We just need to find a benevolent dictator and catapult them to the top of our government. And then I can stop being frustrated with the flaws of our system.
My Gran should rule the world.

all that aside, how many of these things do you have? i'm so confused.
Well, ya see, there was the original LiveJournal, which is additionally imported into Facebook, but I was rather a little careless with the giving out of that address, thus I have begun this one. You can call it my covert blog if ya like. Same as the others, only with the potential to be a little more so...
ohhhh, secrets. i like those almost as much as countdowns. no, way, more.
