I realized something awhile ago about politics and the candidates' takes on the issues.

Both Bush and Kerry (or any competing candidates) have logical ideas about the country. The problem is, both sets of logic conform to different realities.

In Bush's reality, God is on America's side, and the country is in imminent danger from an enemy we know little about. We have to prevent further attacks on our nation and increase military spending to make people feel safe.

In Kerry's reality, this is not completely the case--national security is an issue, but it doesn't mean taking most of the armed forces overseas to fight a war we don't really have a whole lot to do with. Homeland security means leaving that shit alone, and saving the economy from the sorry state it's been put in from spending money that we don't have on bombs.

Both cases make sense, but they are two plans for two different realities. The voter's job is to find out what the REAL reality is, and determine who's closer. Don't you think?

In other news, I've been being artsy lately, and took some photos to screw with in fotoshop. Tell me what you think, they're just silly alterations.
