Funny (not really) the things one gets assigned blame for. Sometimes I don't even have to energy to clear things up.

The election is (once again) getting to the point where everything is diluted and twisted and ugly. I really hate how it happens like this. I always thought it was far more effective, not to mention ethical, to appeal to people using logic and reason, and yet it seems name calling and distortion of truth is the method du jour. Maybe it's because so much of politics hinges on self-interest; people forget that the system tries to leverage self-interest into a greater good. I'm hopeful for this coming election, but that's not to say I don't have my fears about it as well.
