Waxing and Waning

I don't know how things are in Canada (except, you know, cool and free and stuff), but over here in the lower 49 (and, presumably, Alaska), people are bizarre about politics.

For example, I was reading a study lately where a bunch of Bush supporters had been asked about how they stood on a number of issues. The majority were more or less in favor of a bunch of things that the Republicans, especially the Bush Republicans, were against. When this was pointed out to them, they made some lame rationalizations about how Bush just "seemed like a good man" or how we shouldn't "change horses in mid stream."

In other words, many voters are so disconnected from how the political process works that they will vote for somebody who wants to do a bunch of things they think are wrong because he seems like a pretty good feller. No, not in other words, those are exactly the right words.

I also note that many of my friends who were all about politics in the days leading up to the election have lost interest since Bush was re-elected.

This is a major problem. They aren't really aware of any of the crazy ass shit going on in the guvn'ment right now because they are either totally disheartened or because they really don't care all that much provided they can still buy their Baffle Meal^TMN from Burger Trench without having to mortage their house.

Over here in the US, they just passed this bancruptcy bill that essentially makes it easier for the credit card companies to gouge people who, for example, got cancer and went so deep into debt that they couldn't afford to regularly pay their bills. Better still, if you are a soldier and get your arms shot off, and then go into debt due to medical costs, the credit card companies will still be able to demand that you pay every last cent you owe them.

Meanwhile, if a corporation does the exact same thing, they just fold and all the people who suffered just have to suck it up.

Yeah, let's all ignore what the guvn'ments are doing. Doesn't effect us. Plus, Bush is a nice feller.

Shot in the Arm

Recognizing that I don't have a sufficient amount of time to actually meet people who I want to have sex with and since, truth be told, as a teacher, the only people I usually meet are between 14-18, which is gross, I have decided to look into computer dating.

Dating is too strong a word. The truth of the matter is that I am looking for reasonably clean women who live in my area for thrilling, disease free sex on an occasional basis. To this end, I have actually spent some virtual money on joining a "hook up sexy singles" service.

I have never done this before and there are a number of things that make me nervous. First, the women on the site are all impossibly attractive, which screams "prostitute" to me. I refuse to pay money for sex. Sure, I'll pay money for porn and then masturbate, but paying to actually have sex is much more demeaning than getting off to Real Sex 37.

I am also disturbed by the fact that everyone wants a photo. So far, nobody has asked for a photo of me below the neck, which is good, because none (to my knowledge) exist. This is assuming that nobody took screen shots the last time I was on the KittyMichaelsCam. This is why the cam stays off now. It is for the good of humanity.

Anyhow, I am also worried about the fact that I have no car. Many of the women on this sire fantasize about sex in a seculded spot in a car. I'll either have to rent a car or hire a taxi. I don't have any idea what the etiquette is for asking the driver to step out of the car for a moment, or whether I am supposed to ask him to join in in lieu of a tip.

Basically, I am proving to be as hapless an Interweb lover as one in real life.
