You are as smart as some people, and in fact you did find a way of bringing Schrödinger in, didn't you?
The United States of America has some of the world's largest dumbth reserves. (The precise quantity has never been measured, but estimates are in the tens of trillions of barrels.)
Bush has designs on Mars, too. On the other hand, I don't think he could find the place on a map, so as long as you can deal with the lack of atmosphere, you'll be fine.
1. I'm doing my best. I've been reading the Dao De Jing, which seems to help. (Laugh if you must, but I'll be the one sitting in the corner meditating and oblivious to my surroundings once Shrub and his cronies have succeeded in bringing on Armageddon.
2. I may have brought Schrödinger into it, but I didn't write a play, now did I?
3. Damn.
4. I know. Have you read the RGB Mars trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) by Kim ... Kim ... damn, I have to look it up. Hang on. I was right, Kim Stanley Robinson. Anyway, have you? It's, IMNSHO, a pretty likely scenario for what's going to happen once we make it to Mars.
5. Still doing my best. Had Greg's ice cream. Did you know they have a strawberry-cinnamon flavour? It's really good.
It is sad but true, that Americans might just be that stupid. For what it's worth, everyone I know is either registered to vote or on my shitlist, and as far as I know, they're all voting for Kerry. Not that it matters much in Massachusettes, as a candidate's home state is always a done deal. But I know some people not from Massachusettes.
I think a huge problem is the current electoral system. Why not elect by the popular vote? Why do we need electoral college? It is ridiculous that my vote is practically worthless because I live in a state that produced one of the candidates.
(Not that I'm sad about Kerry winning Mass. I'd be pissed if he didn't. But I just wish my vote counted towards that.)
Yeah. I agree. If you want to hear some real ranting about the electoral college just talk to q-pheevr, who commented above. On the other hand, if you want to be of good cheer, that might not be the best idea.
My mom just got her ballot in the mail today. She's gonna send it tomorrow, but since she's also voting in Massetwoshits it's not gonna make a difference. Still, even if the actual numbers don't decide the results, keeping Bush's percentage of the popular vote as low as possible is a good thing. If he loses, well, great. And if he doesn't it provides more ammunition for those seeking to aboliti the EC.
