[Cadaverous Pallor]

Random political thought.

When a person running for public office stands and says "any questions?" then goes on to sidestep the question asked of him, everyone who is witness to such an action should be horrified to their core. This person is supposed to want to represent the public. He needs to be perfectly clear in his intentions. He needs to speak squarely with the people he wants to represent. If he changes the subject, the whole press conference should come to a standstill until he does address the question, and if he refuses to do so, he needs to be booed off stage and never heard from again. How can people do something so obviously detrimental to the process of elections and governance itself and still be taken seriously?

I saw a clip of such action recently and I became extremely embarrassed of our political system and the fact that our society allows it to exist. It is intolerable.

To take a page out of another thread - I am seriously sick of this sht.
