Further Opining on the Presidential Debates

Genteel Readers:

I would like to share my thoughts on the travesty which was last night's presidential debates.  I found it very disappointing that they chose to speak harshly, rather than actively listening to one another in such a way that is wont to resolve the differences between them.  From the very beginning, the overtly hostile tone rattled my nerves.  The abrupt timber of President Obama's tone on more than one occasion caused me to jump and bite my tongue, (I had prepared a feast of organic kumkwats and chamomile tea for the debates, nature's popcorn!) and the cold, steely gaze of Mitt Romney caused me to clutch my quilt even more tightly around me, riddled with anxiety.  These men are fearsome competitors who thrive on confrontation, not the gentle, sensitive  highly evolved kinds of beings I prefer to watch on television or read about in novels.  As usual, I will be casting my vote for the Green Party candidate this election cycle, and while my candidate will surely lose as the Green Party is wont to do, I will at least be voting with a clear conscience.

One particular aspect of the debate that concerned me mightily was the put-downs that seemed to center on jobs and the Chinese.  America is supposed to be the land of opportunity and equality, yet when a job opening is filled by a person of Chinese ancestry, that seems to be the basis for some kind of criticism?  I'm surprised that nobody else sees the outrageous racism here.  If this so-called "controversy" is even remotely acceptable to you, I encourage you to take an honest, painful look at what lies in your filthy heart and do some earnest housekeeping.

Another absurd and ridiculous debate centered around taxes and federal spending.  Neither candidate has caught on to the fact that the government itself is who physically makes money.  If there is some kind of shortfall, it would be a simple matter to print money until the budget deficit is covered.  Of course, this would cause an excess of money, and soon everyone would be rich.  This is why the 1% don't ever want to embrace this strategy - they're fearful of allowing persons of working-class background into their expensive social clubs and golf courses. This would also cause the price of gold to rise, methinks.

Once again, my nerves are too rattled to embrace any kind of sincere and earnest writing, and the blossoming of my genius upon you, the little people, will have to be further delayed.  Thanks to two brutish contenders for the Presidency who have to talk loudly and gesture wildly whilst speaking, likely to cover the fact that they're lying from highly acute and sensitive persons like me.   We, the good people shall someday prevail, gentle readers!  So fear not.  Soon my works will be completed and the real revolution, the revolution of the soul, will be wont to begin!  Until such time, however, I shall retire to my recliner and quilt to calm my nerves with chamomile tea and ample red wine.
