Hey Lama!

I am not surprised at all by my results. I feel that our economy and the capitalism of this nation is RIDICULOUS. Everything is about money and buying shit so we can "pursue happiness" but no one really cares about unfunded programs that better life for millions and millions of people across the world. They just care about how much money does my corporation have to give so I don't look like a complete DICK. Example: wal-mart! 

Or, more recently, GM. What a joke. The fact that they once stood for the stability and greatness of the "American lifestyle" is actually pretty fitting. We consume consume consume cause thats what we are told to do one the T.V. and the radio and the magazines, and fuck! even our parents. "When are you getting married and having babies and getting into debt?" Thats all the American lifestyle really is. How much shit can you get with invisible money? Oh and then when that comes to bite you in the ass, "Government! you gotta help me!"

I'm obviously  a democrat, although sometimes I get to so upset with the entire system I just kinda wanna go Green. Since we looked at the joke of the Republican site today in class, I don' really feel like I need to even go there. But comparing the democrats with the Green party, is really interesting. 

If you had to compare VISUAL standards of the GOP and the D websites: OMG. they are the same. Same colors with the same pictures blah.blah. Um... PROBLEM. What does that even say? Just because the issues are different does that really say anything about what they are ultimately fighting for: money. Now of course, the democrats and the republicans are different parties with very different issues. But when reading the Green party's platform, they make a good argument. 

"The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties.  Committed 

to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens 

are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors.  Greens provide 

real solutions for real problems.  Whether the issue is universal health care, corporate 

globalization, alternative energy, election reform or decent, living wages for workers, 

Greens have the courage and independence necessary to take on the powerful 

corporate interests." 

Interesting. When you compare "We believer every American, whatever their background or station in life, should have the chance to get a good education, to work at a job with good wages, to raise and provide for a family, to live in safe surroundings, and retire with dignity and security." and "Courage in the face of foreign foes.  An optimistic patriotism, driven by a passion for freedom. Devotion to the inherent dignity and rights of every person." K. I want all those things. See where I am coming from? Although the democrat and republican platforms are different, I think they way they run things and get things done are the same! And isn't that the problem? Shouldn't we be looking for different solutions?
