Politics all around


First, I am tired of the presidential election. Do I really need this much time to decide who I want to vote for. Even before the instant communication technology of the 21st century the country didn't take this long to make a presidential decision. So what is happening? Are we becoming more informed decision makers?

Unfortunately I don't think so. We are relying on advertising technics to turn the minds of people rather than ideas. We are getting a president by popularity - by the people. But is that what the founders had in mind? It seems we have reduced the election process of the president to the level of selling cereal to children on Saturday morning.
