I opened/installed this blog a while back, and since then I’ve been trying to decide what to do with it.  Should this be a political blog?  I don’t really follow politics all that much…  Maybe this should be a diary in which I post random thoughts everyday?  But I’m not that diligent.  This post will be political in nature, and we’ll see where the others take us.

I just got back over here from Josh’s Blog, Howl, in which he writes his last political post before the election. I really liked what he had to say there, and suggest you take a look at it. Essentially, he suggests that the GOP/Republican party has really gone downhill, and he gives a brief political history of the US starting in the 1980’s.

Furthermore, I would like to add to his ideas by saying that I would like to see *multiple* major political parties, like Canada. I believe they currently have 5 parties with somewhat equal representation in parliament, along with more smaller parties. George Washington warned us about becoming a bipartisan nation…too bad we’re all too stupid on average to have more that just 2 boxes in which to shove every politician.
