2 people who played with me:
he looks skinnier. maybe it's the pinstripe?
For the first time in a long time I had a huge feeling of impotence and disappointment, you know one of those moments that just want to make you cry and vomit inside your mouth a little? I was surfing through my way huge digital package on cable, when I suddenly stopped at HBO. They were showing the documentary “Hacking Democracy” (http://www.hbo.com/docs/programs/hackingdemocracy/index.html). At first I thought it was just a 15 or 30 minute show about the coming elections, what I found was the most disturbing films I’ve seen in a long time. I could go on and on about it, but basically it shows how easy it is to alter the results of an election. The electronic systems used are a joke, proved by a bunch of security experts who were able to hack into them and change the results using a backend entrance; in just a couple of minutes security experts showed how easy it was to add votes to X candidate and there was no track of the change ever occurred.
Of course this proves ones again that we have a president that didn’t win either one of his elections, and that the Democrats don’t seem to have the balls to fight back. How can we spread democracy to the rest of the “oppressed” world when our own system is just been manipulated by a few? Please keep up the retail campaign! Let’s clean up the Congress, let’s bring back real democracy, let’s treat gay people as equal humans and let’s fight to get rid of the electoral vote process so the person that is in charge is the one that gets the higher number of votes. Is that too crazy?
