It absolutely doesn't matter who you vote for or if you vote at all. You have no influence. Sure, a bunch of jackasses will tell you that your vote really does matter. Please don't believe them. You are basically forced to choose between a few candidates that the man chooses. No matter which you choose, and no matter which one wins, its the man that really wins. You lose. Most of all of us lose. If you want to make a difference in this country, start a revolution movement and overthrow the government.
Just from reading the article from 'CBS 2' I become very suspicious about this whole business about 'Morgellons syndrome'. Also note that CBS 2 is the local CBS station for Los Angeles, so it probably doesn't have the approval of the CBS network enitity, which in my opinion makes this story pretty doubtable. In addition, the website for that organization devoted to curing Morgellons or whatever looks really illegimate. They have that hideous color scheme and all of the text on their site is like size 32, and they capitilize certain words that they apparently want you to notice. Isn't that kind of like a trademark of internet scams? You know like, "HELLO DEAR FRIEND, I am the prince of Durkadurkastan and I have recently gained a SUBSTANTIOL amount of US CURRENCY. If you are interested in claiming YOUR SHARE, please send your credit card information so that I can credit you for your FREE MONEY." Maybe these things wouldn't matter to me if they showed pictures of the symptoms that the 'sufferers' are supposed to be suffering from, but instead they show picture of what, for all I know, is something they pulled off their sweater. Another point is that the symptoms described by the sufferers seem totally different from each other. I didn't read one quote that seemed to complement what the article was saying or what the other sufferers were saying. I know I read at least one Slashdot post saying that the poster knew people with the disease and that they were addicted to speed. Since CBS 2 claims there are about 3500 sufferers, your chances of knowing any of them seem extremely miniscule. The poster just plain sounded like he was lying...but he was modded 5 for interesting or insightful or something!!
The whole deal reeks of lies and deception! Is this a ploy of the mass media to see what they can get away with? No matter, I advise everyone to regard this disease as pure bullshit, and to remember that just because what someone says seems to be supported by a legitimate and maybe trustworthy entity, there is no guarantee that it is true. Your best bet is to look at the facts and make your own independent conclusion. Stay alive out there.
