Found out today that Uganda is debating an anti-homo bill tomorrow to justly the execution/life time imprisonment for being caught doing 'gay things' or being 'repeat offenders' and even 'actively displaying gay things in public' I think this law is the gayest law since gay began and gay my friends...has stood the test of time.
Haven't really written in my book this week except sometime on whether the media is constrained to 'the system' and my reply being of course, the neo-liberal undemocratic capatalist system we live under is obviously going to have an impact on the information writers write about. If you are breast fed the idea that a first past the post system works then you are less likely to doubt it, and even less likely to protest against it, unlike if you have lived in a more pluralist system. We talked about whether it was worth voting this year if you can already predict the outcome. Like I said in class and learned from a friend, there is no left wing representation with substantial power in Parliment, but the BNP are rising in numbers, so a vote against them is worth it. Unless you believe in the BNP, then good for you - but a recession and a disenchantment between the two main parties doesn't mean you should reverse immigration and let an extreme party based on fascist ideas and founded on racial hatred (which it is, and doesn't deny it) in to power. They might have promised to fix your light-bulb, but they wont fix our country. The more I am taught on politics the more socialist I become, but I still don't think left-wing politics answers my questions. I don't even know my questions. Probably more philosophical than political, so why I study politics is illusive but I do enjoy learning about it.
Currently: reapplying for lost drivers license, applying for more money off the Government for auditory resources and beer.
