politics.

i am sick of politics.
and i am unsure of how else to say this, so i will write a very simple sentence that accurately reflects my feelings toward the subject.
i wont use any words that will create any ambiguities or misconceptions.
ready...
Pronto...?
i do not care about politics.

got that?
many people that i have been dealing with of late, are either lefts or rights, far to one extreme or the other. and insist on discussing politics.

i do not care about politics.

"oh how can he run on the 'change' ticket if he picked someone that has been in washington for 30 years?"
"we met this couple of older, vigorous people in Urbino and they were so far left and so interested in the world and were so eager to talk about the state of the world, it was lovely."
"when he wins, all this will change."
"if he wins, he can solve poverty."

none of these quotes are 100% accurate, merely paraphrased from my memory, nor are they attributed.

the only thing that excites me about this election is, that in one month, it will be over.
i am not excited about change, b-c we all know that one president can not revamp an entire political system.
i am not excited about one candidates long standing service to the country b-c no matter how moderate he is, he will still side with his party.
i am not excited about a great third party uprising, b-c... c'mon... dont bullshit me like that.

i do not care about politics.

but i am counting down the days to the election.
