Downloading and Elections
I was inspired by Ken's blog to do a normal post. I'm responding to some things in his myO today. I'll try and make this comprehensible

Downloading
Remember the whole "downloading" epidemic? The one where the feds were suing kids for downloading songs too much? Yeah, that one. What's your opinion on it?

I don't download anymore because I don't want to get in trouble with the feds - or worse: my mother, and the program I was using, Grokster, had this insanely fugly spyware that was killing my computer (Not that it's much better now. My comp always suckz0R. :/)

I used to use it for checking out songs before I bought the CD, because I felt guilty for "stealing" the music. >_> Or, I used to use it for things you can't really get, like my Japanese music (Imports are like... $70). I'm an honest "goody two shoes" in some respects, and that's one of them. lol.

Debate
The debate was interesting - NOT. Kerry was great at first, and then they both got really boring. I think Kerry won, but it was by like... 2% - a slight margin. So everything's up in the air, for now!

I feel a bit sorry for Kerry. I think the war really did something to him, and because of it, this is the way he is - quiet, reserved, unable to clearly express himself at times (although Bush could be accused of that, too. >_>)

Did you know that Mickey Mouse recieves around 1200 votes every year? That's cool. What would being ruled by a mouse be like? XD Sounds like he'd do a better job than some other crazies we've had.

On another election issue, I want to urge all those able to vote, to go to the polls. Did you see my sig? I firmly believe in it. I know, I know. I blabber away about John Kerry, blah blah blah. But the real message is the action of voting. I mean, take a look at some of the other coutnries of the world where elections are either rigged, restricted, or in the case of dictators, not given at all! I mean, jeeze, that's horrible. And here we are with the chance to vote. It may not seem like much, but that vote is very symbolic of freedom, and the right to choose someone to represent you on a world stage. And, like my sig says, it doesn't matter who you're voting for - write someone in (Mickey Mouse) if you like, but the important thing is to vote, otherwise, you have no right to complain about the government of America.
