Comments on: America has spoken http://untitled-project.com/2004/11/08/america-has-spoken/ The Untitled Project is the general dumping site for the thoughts and work of Roger Bijmolt. I have been blogging about my travel adventures since 2004 when I first set off with my backpack and big ideas. This blog was then flooded with writings and ramblings, but in recent times I've been preoccupied with with living life rather than writing about it. I am aware that this is more an excuse than anything, so if you would like me to fire up my keyboard again send me a motivational email. Or money. Enjoy this site for what it is :) Tue, 14 Dec 2004 15:37:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: roger http://untitled-project.com/2004/11/08/america-has-spoken/comment-page-1/#comment-61 roger Thu, 11 Nov 2004 05:21:29 +0000 http://www.untitled-project.com/?p=31#comment-61 Oo, please forward it on Jac ;) Oo, please forward it on Jac ;)

Speaks for itself. There’s an email joke going around since the election… a map showing “United States of Canada” and “Jesusland”. Speaks for itself.

It's not surprising to find out that the U.S. is still using a voting system that was instigated in a big way by the then slave-trading southern states, in an effort to hold onto their rights to keep men and women as slaves for as long as possible. By keeping the most influential voting power in the southern states as opposed to the northern more populated states, it seems even in times like this it can be used to keep America in the dark ages and become un-attached to the U.N's and the Geneva Convention's purposes of guarding basic human rights. And I won't even mention the billion dollars that was used to fund this election, it's not like there are people starving in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, those details are insignificant when compared to the mass purchasing of media to sway(?) a populations opinions. The fallout of this election? over 1 million Americans applying for residency in Canada the week after the elections? no... a super-power becoming dangerously dominate and causing once allied countries to closely examine their ties? maybe... The deaths of more innocent people caught in the crossfire of "The War on Terrorism"? definately. I just hope their isn't going to be another world war in our lifetimes or our childrens... Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue Rog, you sum up so elloquently what alot of us have been feeling/thinking... if only the world could vote...

It’s not surprising to find out that the U.S. is still using a voting system that was instigated in a big way by the then slave-trading southern states, in an effort to hold onto their rights to keep men and women as slaves for as long as possible.

By keeping the most influential voting power in the southern states as opposed to the northern more populated states, it seems even in times like this it can be used to keep America in the dark ages and become un-attached to the U.N’s and the Geneva Convention’s purposes of guarding basic human rights.

And I won’t even mention the billion dollars that was used to fund this election, it’s not like there are people starving in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, those details are insignificant when compared to the mass purchasing of media to sway(?) a populations opinions.

I just hope their isn’t going to be another world war in our lifetimes or our childrens…
