05/25/2004 - 9:50 p.m. So, it being that I have not updated since twelve days ago, I figured I should. Only, as always, there is the problem that I've nothing much to say. Well, other than that I am now in charge of cooking/cleaning/shopping for my family, since my mother abandoned us for Europe and my father has since become a workaholic. Anyways, I was thinking. You know that ridiculous show American Idol? My room mate (the learning disabled one who thinks she'll become a teacher someday) was obsessed with it, and so is my nine year old cousin. I think that says quite enough about it. But anyways, so I was thinking, instead of choosing some singer who will produce one very annoying song that will play over and over on the radio until you want to find the loser who created it and punish him in some horrible way, we should use the same exact method to choose the American President. Now, I think that this idea is quite brilliant, and if put into use will provide us with world peace. Of course, the president will not be chosen according to his or her singing ability, but rather some political type thing. Perhaps a speech, or several speeches, about or in reaction to something. The american public can then watch the competitors giving these speeches, decide which one it likes the best, and vote. Over several weeks, the candidates will be slowly eliminated until only one is left, and that one will rule the country until the next American President is chosen. Now, some may have a problem with this, saying this voting system us unfair. However, I guarantee you that the homeless and others with no access to a television/phone do not vote anyways, along with most of the american population. So, this show would actually boost voting while losing none. Why, I would even vote. In conclusion, this idea is the most brilliant thing ever. The end. Room mate - 10/27/2005
