A Sceptical Mind

I was watching TV today, when I suddenly stumbled upon a YouTube/CNN debate with the democratic candidates on CNN. Now - most Europeans probably don’t know much about the candidates in the US and many might even claim they don’t care because it doesn’t affect them. Well as a proud European let me just say : BULLSHIT! Anything in the US affects the rest of the world simply due to the fact that the US maybe over on another continent, but the US lifestyle and culture has spread to the whole world - oh yeah and of course because many Americans think they own the world

Now for the people interested in the current candidates:

This is by the way only the democratic candidates - but seeing as you’re on my website, you’re probably not interested in the Republicans - plus who are we kidding, as if the republicans are going to win (thank God).

Now what was interesting to see here - most of these actually don’t have very European like opinions - a lot of these people are still pro death penalty, against same-sex marriage and such.. Sadly I might add! But then - out of the group of crappy propaganda idiots one person shined .. A candidate I would have imagined I would agree with. He’s one of the oldest candidates, yet he has some of the most modern and realistic ideas … So without further adieu I give you:

Mike Gravel:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Gravel

- Pro drug legalization (Drug use is a medical issue - not a criminal issue)

- Pro choice

- Pro national non-profit health care system (like we Danes already have)

- Pro same-sex marriage

- Pro elimination of the IRS and income tax (wants to replace it with a national sales tax of 19-23% on newly manufactured products and services)

- Pro immigration (supports the guest worker program)

- Wants to reduce dependency on carbon (not due to global warming - but rather the availability of the resources)

He is like the perfect candidate .. and he’s 77 years old! How weird is that? He has some of the same ideas we “Radical Youth”’s have in Denmark - a social liberal political agenda (mostly liberal). Simple fantastic.. so to all Americans out there:

VOTE MIKE GRAVEL!

Oh yeah - I just took a look at this poll:

And logically - most Americans disagree with me - Mike Gravel has 0% and the two other candidates I could support has 1% and 2% Go figure.

Hey people - I’m guessing you’re wondering why I’m being so silent?

No - no one managed to waste me or anything, I’ve simply just been very very oh so very busy. So while you people wait for me to get more time, I was thinking a bit of a treat would be nice - So I found a girl going by the name of Ana Free! Ana Free is simply one of the most talented young artists I’ve heard in a very long time and I’d therefore like to share her with all of you. So until we speak again, ENJOY:
