Human Condition
February 25, 2008
“Nothing discernible to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man; nothing is more formidable, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.”
in Victor Hugo – Les Miserables
Most elections are a democratic process, that represent the will of the people, or judging by the last elections, the will of someone that thinks what the people wants…
In the recent polls, we see a strange phenomena occurring, that until this elections, some thought inconceivable: a woman and a not so white man running for office.
Times do change, and with them the people.
Take a look at where Americans stand today. According to recent polls, Barack Obama is the undisputed leader of this race (no pun intended) and is well on his way to becoming the first not so white President of the United States of America. I can imagine what’s going on inside some redneck’s head: “Ok, between the nigger and the bitch, might as well be the nigger, otherwise the bitch will spend all the budget on carpets.”
Still, some people genuinely believe in Obama’s project for the country. Not surprising either. After George Bush Jr. we’d be better off even with Carrot Top calling the shots, even if vodka ones…
So a revolution is about to occur. While I do hope that Obama does a good work, I’ll sincerely chuckle at the sight of those self-righteous people haters (you know, like me, but a bit more self-righteous) pissed off because their president isn’t an intern-cigar-fucking pristine white boy.
So with votes of great success and an entertaining election day (or weeks if this shit goes to court again), God bless America. ( nah, fuck them, with a cherry on top. )
