Should I Vote For For President: Obama or McCain?
I match up well with...
 | Barack Obama - 69 match While only having served in the United States Senate for about four years, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has electrified the presidential stage. Earlier this year, Obama defeated the much vaunted Clinton machine in the Democratic primaries, receiving 18 million votes, as Democratic voters flocked to the polls in record numbers. Unlike his opponent, Obama opposed the Iraq war from the start and is running his campaign on the theme of working together to fix the economy, provide affordable health care to all Americans, restoring the nation's moral authority on the world stage, and keeping the lobbyists and special interests out of the White House. |
 | John McCain - 34 match As a Vietnam war veteran and someone who has a record of bi-partisan work on issues like campaign finance reform and immigration reform, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has often won praises for his willingness to buck his own party on issues. Unlike his opponent, McCain is a staunch supporter of the war in Iraq, a social conservative who believes that the Supreme Court should overturn a woman's right to an abortion, and fiscal conservative who believes the Bush tax cuts should be made permanent and that corporate tax rates be further lowered. |

Hot for Teacher
They're young, hot teachers...who apparently love having sex with their underage students. I just posted 3 examples below because in a brief Googling there were FAR TOO MANY to post a comprehensive list. How come when I was in school I never heard the slightest whisper about this type of thing? Then again, I also had no concept of what a homosexual was until I was in middle school. Perhaps I had a very sheltered upbringing without knowing it.
Anyway check out "the big list".

I've been posting a lot recently about politics as it's the hot topic with elections approaching in November. Here's a change of pace. Tonight I watched part of Dateline.
The one particular story I'm going to discuss involved a young couple with 2 children. The wife was a student teacher and the husband was an aspiring music director. Long story short, the wife who was 29 ends up having an affair with one of her 18 year old students. Apparently she makes no secret about it, flaunting her affair in public, even in the presence of her husband. She even has sex with her teenage lover in front of her husband at their house. According to the husband, the wife and her teenage lover threaten to take their two young kids and desert him. One night, there's some sort of confrontation which ends with the young lover shot dead. The husband admits to shooting him, but claims it was an accident.
The result of the trial was that the jury found that the husband did not premeditate the murder and would later be charged with a lesser charge of reckless manslaughter.
So first point - what's up with all these young female teachers sleeping with teenage students? Maybe it's news bias, but does it always seem like this only happens with young, attractive female students and teenage males? Why don't we ever hear about male teachers having affairs with female students?
My second question has to deal with infidelity. We already know that in America over 50% of marriages will eventually end in divorce. I don't know what proportion is due in part to infidelity, but I imagine it's a large percent. I'd like to see statistics on what gender is more likely to be unfaithful. Of course, I doubt accurate data exists on this topic because it's something that people would probably be ashamed (or at least I hope they would be ashamed) to admit.
This ties into a email discussion I had with several friends about human behavior, genetics, and social constructs as it applies to the concept of monogamy. Is there any reason to be monogamous or do we have instincts or even genetic predispositions to be polygamous?
Coming from a biased male viewpoint I tend to think females are more likely to be unfaithful than men. I'm sure women would most likely hold the opposite viewpoint. Here's the basis behind my theory. Women, in general, have a much easier time getting sex than men. I make this next statement with the utmost confidence: Any woman, no matter how attractive or unattractive she is, can get sex at any time provided she isn't picky about the man.
The converse is not true for men. Men have to try much harder to get sex. Any guy can't just walk into a bar and say 'Hey, who wants to get laid?' and have flocks of women come up to him.
So because it's so easy for women to get sex, I think the temptation to be unfaithful is greater. You're much more likely to sneak a few donuts when you work at the bakery.
Any thoughts?

Goign down in flames?
I'm not well-versed in economics and I had trouble understanding the full extent of this article, but I still think it offers a glimpse into what all the buzz is about concerning the economy right now.
It's a scary time. Whoever we elect into the White House better damn well know what he's doing.

I was thinking about this today. Nothing like some disgusting, frozen rectangular pizza to associate with your name, huh?

Resistance is Futile
Several weeks ago I added ads to my site in hopes of making a few cents every decade, but mostly for the fact that having ads makes my site look a bit more legitimate than it really is.
Google Adsense places 'contextual ads' on my site, meaning Google reads the content of my site and determines what advertisements would be of most interest to my readers. Since my recent post focused on McCain's selection of Sarah Palin for VP, a ad for McCain popped up.
The first thing I thought when I saw the ad was 1984. A smiling picture of McCain followed by a simple message: "Invest in Victory". Anyone who has read Orwell's famous work should see the similarities in tone. You're not just making a donation to his campaign, you're putting a bet down on the winning horse.
What adds even more to this creepy, Big Brotheresque feel is that the group sponsoring the ad is called the "McCain-Palin Compliance Fund". That's right...COMPLIANCE. YOU WILL COMPLY. Sounds like something the Borg would say. Is there a connection?
