When it comes to politics, I am a buffoon.  A complete and total imbecile.  But I do care about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  So here it is, “Super Tuesday” to what, only about half of the country?  What does that mean?  My state’s primary election isn’t for another two weeks.  And what good will it be by then?  And we only have two choices on the ballot.  Democrat or Republican.  No independents, no liberals, no conservatives.  Just elephants and donkeys.  Whatever.  And if I vote on principle, I basically throw my vote away, because there’s no way an underdog candidate will win.  But then I wonder what that matters anyway, since how much can my vote matter when there’s an electoral college that overrides it anyway.  It makes no sense to me why we use an electoral college when we have sufficient technology to obtain a real vote by the real people.  Why can’t we just use the popular vote?

Okay, I’m done.  I don’t know enough to say any more (or even to say as much as I have).  It’s just frustrating.
