Intelligence has decreased worldwide

Or better a colon: As always, in all fields, America has been the leader.

Should anyone, due to the above, not have understood: I am talking about the voters' crime, the election result.

Now then, we will have an increase in intelligence. Namely the thus called services. The half-wit is not Bush, the half-wits are the majority of the American populace. So they will get their deserved next 9/11. One can only wish it to them, the majority, not the rest. And even then, those believers will not stop praising to the skies their Ayatollah Bush. The nation voted for OBL, not against him. Minority, prepare for the exodus. So that outside that prison of stupidity you can, like CARE^® parcels, send in some brain. If you do not know how to do that, here are the instructions.

I just noticed that on November 3, the day after the election catastrophe, this site, which last month had the highest number of visitors ever, on that one day had 50 percent more visitors than the daily average of last month. This seems to indicate that people expected or wanted to find some new comment on the topic. The last one was from the day before. But there was nothing. I was so tired and exhausted from staying up all night (to be able, due to the time difference with Europe, to closely follow that election), that I could not write anything. And I was disappointed of course. All that loving hope had gone, the months long tense stress was over, the balloon had finally been pricked by destiny's torturous needle and the wind that came out flew me to bed.

So I am obliging today finally, after having got some little rest, shedding those damn politics off my back like dandruff a couple days.

The campaign had been plain stupid, not what Michael Badnarik did, NOT AT ALL, not what so many great devoted participants in the campaign did, NOT AT ALL, NO, in spite of all the professionalism that could be noticed, IT WAS WHERE THE MONEY WENT! This had struck me a few days before the election, upon receipt of one of the press releases ("We are running targeted ad campaigns in 'battleground' states to make the Libertarian Party a factor in the election's outcome.")[source upon request], and I immediately wanted to write an editorial about that, but gave it up, fearing to damage the campaign. It was too late anyway. And I confess to not having understood all this early enough.

The campaign has let itself to be completely instrumentalized by Bush and Kerry. The campaign should have been aggressive, not defensive. It was a wrong application of the Zero Aggression Principle. :-) It was not the legitimate purpose of the campaign to make Bush spend more money: "Campaign communications director Stephen Gordon is quite confident that Badnarik's TV ad strategy and targeting of swing states caused the Bush campaign to spend over a hundred thousand in ads it otherwise would not have had to." [source] This is laughable and childish. It would have been better if Bush had not spent that additional money in swing states and would thus maybe have gotten a few less votes and the Badnarik campaign would have spent its meager money in their own strong places or in safe states like California, not in the swing states. It is not the legitimate purpose of the Libertarian Party to play spoil-sport and be the finger of God in swing states, the mover of the pointer of the scale. ("For instance, we just learned that we are polling at 3% in Arizona. Therefore, we are pumping another chuck of advertising dollars into the Grand Canyon State. Since Bush and Kerry are currently 5% apart, this advertising may make the difference in the outcome of the election in this key state.  We are pursuing similar activities in Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico, as well.")[source upon request] This is an abdication in favour of the wrongful two-party system. Unless one really wants to vote for a lesser evil, which can be the one or the other of the donkephants. I am quite convinced that more libertarians voted for Bush than for Badnarik. Those stealth Republicans!

Where does this lack of critical spirit and of carping mind of the majority, this fear of dissenting stem from? Like in any organization which has become too large, conformity and disinformation spread. America is too big, too centralized, too brainwashed. Their standardized processed worthless food may have accelerated the production of congenital morons, the federal state school system completing the wonder. The wonders of ignorance. And prejudice. Against gays or Old Europe. How should they know? They don't travel anymore (or live abroad). The dollar is too weak to make that easy as it once was. Distances to the different are too great. When did you last meet an American student or young hitch-hiker in a street in Europe? Maybe an occasional blue rinse. And that's it. I talked to a few of those recently. Affluent ones, just off a cruise ship. Their ignorance was just lethal. They don't speak languages. They have no comparison.

Even in former communist East Germany people were more intelligent. They read a lot and could compare their TV with the West German one. They all knew at least one second language. They also travelled to other cultures, Hungary, Poland, Rumania etc. They succeeded in a peaceful revolution I doubt the Americans will now, as it has become so necessary, repeat, as they don't even read their Bill of Rights. Bill? That's the name of one of their neighbours or cousins or of Monica's ex. Rights? That's the plural of the side or part that is on or toward the right side...

Goodbye, America!
