I'm glad my father is no longer around to witness this decay. But - on the other hand is there any story this Steve Hartman guy could talk about that I would be able to take seriously? He looks like he should be playing lacrosse at Duke U. and guzzling from a beer bong at the frat house! It’s come to this. I’m glad my father is no longer around to witness this decay.

The last time I voted was last week; we had to vote for whoever will be taking charge of the next seminar we're organising. Franckly speaking, vote or no vote, we always end up with crook leaders. I guess the honest could have been leaders do jot meddle in politics. Still voting is better than abstination especially if one of the candidates is a lesser crook than the others!

A good way to think about it is that if you prevent some whacko innovation that would have benefitted some already wealthy group at public expense, your participation was a success. American Idol?
