I have nothing useful to say so I say: Fuck, here we go again!
....(or am I being trolled by the powers that be with fake video to give up hope?)
To quote what passes for an American role model: "Man, I don't even known any more."

Ephemeral Artistry
Your normal, depressing post has been preempted by this tiny bit of enlightenment:
We now return you to your regularly scheduled depressing reality.
When Buddhist sand sculptures are just too permanent for you:

Our America
Al Jazeera is reporting the reality in Ohio.
Crap like this makes me feel so embarrassed for our country.
Part of the embarrassment is that these fellow countrymen of mine are ignorant, racist and stupid. The first two judgements are obvious. The last is that they rail against the candidate who's platform will actually help them while sucking up to the Dick, er, John, that wants to keep making them slaves to the true elite.
The other part that embarrasses me is that we can not rely on the (corporate owned) media of this country to shine the light on these cockroaches. Instead, we are lucky to have a news organization that is based half-way around the world that can give us this duty.
The recent projections here are maybe a reason for optimism that some people in my country still have some sense. But, I'm not very HOPEfull because in the end, I think we are destined for some dirty tricks that will put Mr Angry Senile Man and (she deserves no "Ms") Yahoo Corrupt Chick in to office.

State of the Union
The State of these United States:
And that is just in the past week!
Unfortunately, since I was a young kid I have been expecting this day.
- Voter rolls purged in a racist, partisan grab.
- Military coming home from foreign wars to police their fellow citizens.
- Executive orders allowing martial law and a permanent presidency.
- Incumbent party nominees calling front runner opponent a terrorist,
- and condoning death threats against his person.
- Political dissidents placed in terrorist databases.
- Massive anti-capitalism corporate welfare paid by taxes.
And that is just in the past week!

New US president debating format.
Rules:
No individual moderator.
The candidates must be available for one week, 10 hours per day for queries by US citizens.
Queries will be addressed on a first come first serve basis. One question per citizen per queue is allowed.
All candidates from all parties are invited.
Each candidate sits in their own Faraday cage so as to assure no RF signals reach
the candidate and only their emitted sound waves reach external microphones.
No visual image of the candidate will be available during the debate.
Audible emissions are recorded by any and all media in attendance.
Any commentary on the responses are not allowed on public airwaves.
Any commentary on private airwaves or the Internet must be digitally signed by its originator.
First amendment: when candidates stray from the query, the citizen may press a button to send a Taser(tm) jolt through the buttocks of the candidate. The citizen is allowed 3 jolts until the query is nullified. Nullification does not count against the citizen's turn in the queue.

Petty tyrants
Do you have your own petty tyrants?
Do you have your own Bill O'Reilly's?
Do you suffer from the lack of calm, rational discussion?
Or are you living with a dearth?
Are you reading this or watching the video?
