And the election we just had won't do anything to solve the problem. We
had not much of any choice, just tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumber. I only
voted on propositions which is sort of a direct though questionable form
of Democracy. The questionable part is the public voting on complex
propositions that only lawyers would understand and some that really
need to be debated in the state assembly.
I also voted on replacing members of the city council which appears to
have rid itself of an opportunist. It's just that the large number of
mail in ballots have yet to be counted a portion of which would have
voted on the council positions and at last count there were only a few
votes separating the two runner ups. The yuppie woman got enough votes
to be re-elected leaving one chair up and between two candidates, one a
former IT tech and the other a forensics manager. Either would do and I
voted for both (and not for the yuppie). Lord knows we need people who
know tech legislating rather than the clueless so the IT guy was my
first choice and the forensics manager is a neighbor who pledged to
represent those of us on the right side of the tracks er freeway.

Turns out this video is a fake - still damned funny of course.
The video, titled "How Americans Live Today," features an English
voiceover purportedly translating the original Korean narration. The
phony translation describes hyperbolic scenes of Americans being
forced to live in tents and eating melted snow in order to survive.
The man behind the farce? British travel writer Alun Hill, who doesn't
speak a word of Korean. The original video from North Korea's official
Korean Central News Agency apparently depicts the failure of European
democracy.
The fact that it's so easy to take it as genuine is sufficient
indictment of the regime.
