i know, politics = tedious.
sorry.
as an aside, tonight at studio b in bklyn was really fun.
i love playing rave records.
sad that rave died.
it was so utopian and celebratory.
ah, well.
so, politics.
why isn’t there any moderation in u.s politics?
like gun control, for example.
why can’t a candidate say: ‘ok, nra, you want to hunt and shoot targets?
fine, why do you need cop killer bullets and automatic weapons? how about we reach a compromise where you can keep guns and we can have background checks and licensing and restrictions on gun ownership to keep people safe?’
why is/are american politics so polarized?
i personally think that a candidate who was pragmatic and sensible would clean up.
i.e-a candidate who accepted that evolutionary theory was valid and that automatic weapons and cop-killer bullets shouldn’t be available to the populace and that global warming is worth investigating and so on.
we have 3 republican candidates who don’t believe in evolution?
i mean, really?
OF COURSE THEY BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION.
they’re just afraid of alienating the insane right wing.
so they lie.
politicians are too comfortable with compromise and deceit.
ok, that’s all.
time for bed.
