Complex Numbers

Election Year

I really, really hate election years.

Like assholes, everyone has an opinion, and most of them stink. I'd care more if I thought caring would make a difference, but it doesn't. Voting can make a difference, but only if enough people do it.

Lately I've been hearing scandals about all the front-runners, together with really good reasons why none of them should be allowed in office.

You know what? Dig deep enough, you'll find dirt on anybody. Anybody. And it's always qualified, like "Your candidate had sex with a dead mule in the town square. I mean, I could handle it if it'd been a LIVE mule - but a DEAD mule? That's horrible!"

Don't expect candidates to be perfect, or even internally consistent. You're not - why should they be?
