(no subject)

It occurs to me (as it has probably occured on LJ before, but I can't find where, so maybe it hasn't) that the main reason I could not live in the US is that I don't think I could cope with a full two years of political bullshit in the lead up to the elections. And not just the low level obvious posturing you get here either, but the full blown hyper campaigns that are all kicking off now. The election's not till 2008! How do people cope? I don't manage well with the official 6 week campaigns (plus the posturing, which can last up to a year, granted).

I think if I were American I'd have to live OS for large periods of time. Or in Alaska, without good TV reception.
