Instead of Blogging I...

I like to make art things, and appreciate them.

Honestly, I haven't actually thought about the American elections, but I think if I had the chance, I'd probably vote for this guy. Come on, he smokes, AND he's a Democrat. How can he NOT win?

Killing in the name of...?

So the former president of Iraq, Saddam Husssein has been hung after being found guilty of killing over a hundred of his own people. However, the current president of a another sovereign nation, who's actions are responsible for even more deaths, still lives and expects no trial.

Ok, that was sensationalistic, but it's really upsetting when said president can say something as evil as "[The execution is an] important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy" [Source]. How is the trial and murder of a person a "Milestone" in democracy? Could Saddam have simply lived in confinement for the rest of his life, and democracy still succeeded? Why are Islamic militants in Africa allowed to rule as tyrants with out even a word about "Democracy" from the Bush administration?

Let's hope some good can come of this.
