!גשם, גשם וברד
Feb. 10th, 2009 01:38 pmהצבעתי.
ביצעתי את זכותי וחובתי בתור אזרחית מדינה דמוקרטית ומודרנית.
השאלה היא האם אשכרה נצליח לשמור עליה ככזו ואף, אם ירצו מורידי הגשם, לשפר אותה.
חד"ש זה "ו" בקלפי.
עכשיו רוצו והצביעו ואם לא לחד"ש, אז למי שאתם מאמינים בו/בה/בהם/בהן ולא נגד.
הצביעו בעד ולא נגד.
"Vote Early, Vote Often"
Feb. 10th, 2009 02:04 pmSo goes the saying.
Al Capone is reputed to have said that... it's funny that Chicago brought forth a man of that calibre, no?
Huh.
Maybe... not so much.

What a wonderful question on these here elections days.
I went to vote with Mummy at around 10-ish. I was quite excited seeing as it was my first general elections, as I've mentioned before.
I'd like to address these three options through through the prism of Israel Politics.
I'm an Optimist because I voted positively on the issues and not against a candidate that I found nauseating through a vote that would make me need to have a shower once I got home. I voted for a party which barely has any mandates in the Knesset, but which did the grey work and actually passed laws that were social and environmental. I've heard the MK's and candidates speak and while there are problems, they're not problems that can't be fine tuned, tweaked or dealt with.
I'm a Pessimist because I don't think that anyone of the Prime Ministers to be will be good for the country. I don't think any of them hold any of the People's interests at heart, nor do I believe any of them have the ability to plan more than a year a head.
If someone with some actual fore sight bothered to try and run for PM, they'd be eating dust, because the People (you, me, us) don't have any fore sight either.
We don't have much of a memory either.
Hence by Bibi Netanyahu will be elected Prime Minister.
Again.
I'm a Realist because no matter what happens, we'll drudge and charge through and not much will be different. Because things do not change via a system that is so far removed from those who have voted the Leaders in.
This is, after all, politics.
If I am anything, I am a Cynical Optimist and I believe in the Vox Populi Vox Day and when only 60+% of the Populi cast a Vox... there is not God to speak of, or for.
But I have hope.
Simply because if I didn't, I wouldn't to care.
And then... why would I bother about anything.
I sign this oh so positive entry with a quote:
There's no certainty – only opportunity.
