Dear Yankee Friends,
I am not an American, but I am a citizen of this planet, residing well within the sphere of influence of the USA.
Since I cannot vote, you, my dear Yankee friends must do it for me, if not for yourselves.
Those who know me know I don't buy the usual biparty lines. I'm a very independent thinker, with Libertarian overtones. Having said that, I urge you to vote Barak Obama. Not Nader or any of that cockshit. Make a serious commitment to the betterment of this planet, don't prove a point.
I was a Hillary supporter, and unlike many others I'm not head over heels for the Obama/Biden policies (I have a particular disgust with Biden's War on Drugs politics and Obama's economic plan is merely a better bet than McCain's, not a full-proof plan by any means).
Having said that, another four years of GOP will doom our civilization. Really.
Psychology plays a big role in economy. It also plays a big role in diplomacy. And the world wants Obama, by a large margin. This is significant; With most people getting what they want, optimism for a better future can once again pour into our global markets and respect for American leadership will grow. Do not dismiss this; It is of key importance to the well-being of our society.
In 2000, we all thought Americans made a mistake, or Florida, which was governed by a Bush fucked it up for all of us. And that is forgivable. 2004 is when we really started getting disappointed in American leadership. I think in every corner of the United States people can agree with that now.
Make 2008 a better choice.
Vote Obama.
I'm Shay and I approve this message.
