"Tell me, is there anything worn under the kilt?" "No, lassie, it's all in good working order!"
Motivations Desiderata ~ By Max Ehrmann Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. - By Max Ehrmann The Thousanth Man ~ Rudyard Kipling 0NE man in a thousand, Solomon says. Will stick more close than a brother. And it's worth while seeking him half your days If you find him before the other. Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend On what the world sees in you, But the Thousandth Man will stand your friend With the whole round world agin you.
'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show Will settle the finding for 'ee. Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him, The rest of the world don't matter; For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more talk Than he uses yours for his spendings, And laugh and meet in your daily walk As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call For silver and gold in their dealings; But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em all Because you can show him your feelings.
His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right, In season or out of season. Stand up and back it in all men's sight With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide The shame or mocking or laughter, But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side To the gallows-foot - and after!
"Get these Motherfucking Anumias out of my Motherfucking region!" - Noto, whilst operating heavy weaponry during the June 2016 Civil War

Third party candidates do more harm to their ideals rather than further their policy goals. Advance a cause from within the system, yo. Actually, while third party cannidates never win they do push the two major parties to change because they scare them into some, usaly positive, action.

Or they split enough votes to ensure none of their policies get enacted, and the party opposed to them succeeds somehow.

One thing I find hilarious?
Sen. Jeff Flake announced that he would skip the RNC because he has to "mow his lawn". Flake lives in Arizona, making it kind of ironic.

The people in Europeia. That is what makes us great. Not our laws, not our population. Our people. Just everyday people putting out a helping hand. A true community. I wouldn't want to be apart of any other community, because I feel truly accepted here. In a chatroom with complete strangers is where I feel most at home. Funny how that works.

It really didn't, there's nothing new in the leaks besides the realization that the Russian government is working with Trump to try to influence American elections.

No one has been able to explain to me what's so bad about Hillary Clinton.
I mean, on one hand you have a candidate who contradicts himself constantly and adheres to no consistent ideology. When their statements are fact-checked, Hillary is one of the most truthful candidates in this election, while Trump is by far the least truthful. And yet she has a reputation for honesty, and he has one for straight talk. I mean, lesser of two evils? It seems more like one candidate who knows nothing about the job of the Presidency, and frankly has shown no willingness to learn. He has said that he would kill the families of terrorists, a war crime. He has said he would punish women who get abortions. He has said he would break the NATO treaty. He's banned unfriendly media outlets from his events. I'm not 100% confident he could name all three branches of government.
On the other hand, we have a candidate who is, yes, an insider politician. Yes, she has definitely traded influence in the past. Yes, she has been more moderate in the past and is now attempting to appeal to progressives. Besides that, she is a knowledgeable, staid, serious person. She is careful in making decisions. We would disqualify her from the presidency over what? The fact that she used a private email server? Really? The choice in this election really couldn't be more clear.

Maybe there really is something to the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump is a Democrat mole.

I read through a bunch of commentary of Trump's speech, and it read as the most un-small government speech that I've read in a looong time. I have no idea how small government conservatives can vote for him.

We would disqualify her from the presidency over what? The fact that she used a private email server? Really? The choice in this election really couldn't be more clear. It's because of latent sexism.
There is a great DailyKos article, I'll have to dig to find the link, that shows how Hillary Clinton's approval numbers consistently vault up (like 60% +) whenever she is in a political office, but tank whenever she is seeking a new one. If a man (particularly a white one) did everything Hillary Clinton has done, they would be criticized — for sure — but absolutely not with the same viciousness Secretary Clinton has been. Why? Because we are very used to ambitious men. We understand if male politicians are ambitious and want higher political offices. When it's a woman, however, they are dark schemers, plotters, Lady McBeth-esque villains. Hillary Clinton has clearly wanted to be President for a very, very long time — and that makes Americans very uncomfortable — but not so much when it was Richard Nixon who was ambitious.

Well she does contradict herself, bearing in mind I know little about what she has actually said but from what I have read she is against influence from Wall Street yet she has earned in excess of a million dollars from doing speeches at Wall Street and she receives hundreds of thousands of dollar from Wall Street companies.
Also she supported the Iraq War, which is a reason to be against any politician.
