Blog uno

Set up a blog for journals, excellent. Now I don't have to write out in my journal, and can update anywhere.

Anyway,

Elections are today, either candidate is bad.

Either candidate? There are in fact 13 of them running, but most people only know about the two big ones or maybe three. If only the people would look up the other candidates and give them a chance.

Then again, people just ignore anything unless it's a brand name, regardless of context, take a look at the markets, which brands sell better, the cheaper ones, or the bigger brand names people know about? Maybe we ought to limit campaigning to a small period of time before elections, say 2 months or so, and have dedicated websites for each candidate, with a master site linking to them all. At least people would be more informed.

Then again, that's stupid, if you have more money you ought to be able to use it, without limits, and beat your opponent into the ground.
