Today, there is a
lot going on in the world: probably too much for anyone to keep track of. Last
night was the big presidential election and I can tell just by Facebook
statuses that Obama won. This really should not be a surprise to anyone and I
doubt that it is. Still, I know a lot of people are disappointed. Someone is
every election. I voted, but I decided way back that whatever happens I would
be happier when the whole election was. You may wonder why, but I bet most of
you know exactly why. Years ago if you watched TV, you would expect a few
political ads. Now they are everywhere. You can't go on YouTube without seeing
an ad about Tammy Baldwin's liberal extremism or Mitt Romney's secret hidden
money. I think at this point everyone is sick of this. No one believes
political ads because they are always meant to deceive you. Even attack ads
that are totally true are created just to get you to ignore the problems of the
person making them. It is so bad, I felt bad voting because I feel like it
encourages politicians.
Don't take that the
wrong way. I know that kind of feeling is not the most rational. Please vote.
It really is important. But if I were in charge, I would make a law banning
political ads (or at least try). No one would miss them. In fact, I think that
it would make everyone happy; probably happy enough to re-elect me.
