Sinister: democracy smerocracy

[Lawrence Mikkelsen]

***MOBY, YOU ARE A PRICK AND HAVE OUTSTAYED YOUR WELCOME***
Man that guy is starting to get on my nerves. His like a less charming, mor
annoyingly limp writed PC verision of Nicky Wire, minus any raw talent.

What the hell am I talking about? you ask. (possibly)

In yesterdays's NME.com update he started laying into all the US musicicans
(Pearl Jam, Patti Smith etc.) who compained for Ralp Nader, blaming them for
Bush's probable win, and urging them to 'hang their heads in shame'.

OK, so a vote for Nader is esentially a vote taken away from Al Gore. I
concur ... but the thing is, Mr Moby (if that is your real name) that what
America has is called a DEMOCRACY and in a democracy you can vote for
whoever you want. The way I see it, if you vote, your vote is never wasted.
One can argue that a vote for Ralph Nader is a "lost vote" this time round,
but I would imagine that, given the "large" minority support for him,
whatever person gets into power will realise that there are a lot of people
in America who are dissatisfied with the current two party hegemony, and
will have to take that into account. Whatever happens, I think the people
have spoken clearly that there is more than one alternative.

OK, I don't even live in the states but .... oh well.

Anyway, back to Moby. What a jerk.

Well, that's my rant over.

Boxing today .... can't wait ...
