Ralph Nader, I love you, but unless you are able to hijack the media the way front-runners must so that at least fifty percent of America loves you as much as I do, I'm not going to vote for you.
Why? Because, at its best, voting in the USA is an act of strategy, not a perfect expression of values.
Anytime you have a group...

It's unfortunate that, as media-connected as we are, the average voter is not at all well-informed, and usually does not even vote their values so much as they vote for a personality and an image. Our media-centric society is all about the sound byte and the 15-second video clip. Therefore Edward's hair and Dean's scream become central events in the media and in our collective psyche. Whether anyone would pay attention if elections and candidates were covered in a manner similar to that of the Newshour with Jim Lehrer or NPR news is circumspect. Most prefer to be entertained than to pay any real attention to matters they already feel are beyond their understanding. A voter who casts his or her vote as part of a strategy is at least attempting to influence a political end. We should be so lucky as to have a plurality of this type of voter in the U.S. electorate.

I have simplified this entire debate into one simple statement. I will not vote for the president of the united states in America until the "electoral college" is dismantled and we institute a truly democratic election process.

What happened with G.W is just a reassurance to me that I am right and the system is broken.

It sounds like I might actually have to work with a photographer. An actual other person besides myself might have to be present when time is frozen and reality is documented.

Hm so many lovely comments on my set. In response to the question of red eye: I did email the model coordinator before submitting the set and she said I should not fix the red eye. If it got accepted they would fix it for me. I even set the camera on the special anti-red-eye setting that obviously didn't work. Not my camera's fault though....
