Friday!

Yet again, checked out the Friday Five and it was really really similar to a Firday Five I did in May....I mean come on, it hasn't even been seven months and you can't think of new questions?

So then let's move on.

In homage to the Americans Midterm Elections, A political Five (i guess not so) Random Questions:

I Approve This Message!

1) If offered the oppurtunity, with all expenses covered, would you run for political office? Yes. Even though in my current life position I hardly possess the criteria necessary to run for any kind of political office (at least without being laughed out of the debating arena), the idea of running for politics fascinates me. Like most people, I hold the belief that "I could do it better". I know I have no real idea of what is involved in holding a position of actual political power, but i would totally be up for giving it a shot.

2) Would you run for Mayor? Premier? Prime Minister? Or President? Mayor sounds cool, but not big enough for me. I want to affect laws and future societies....and President is waaaay too much hot water for me. So Prime Minister Please.

3) What would be your platform (or the platform you would support if you're not running)? Well, I guess I'm as lefty as it comes. I would legalize gay marriage, legalize pot, while making the producing and selling of pot entirely a governemnt run operation. (and even thoug it's not my place I would also push our big cities to move the last call back to 4 a.m. and use the additional liquor tax money gained help fund tourism). i would cut military spending ('cause really, our military sucks...we couldn't hold off Mexico if they decided to take us over) and boost funding for medicinal research and environmental causes and awareness. I would tax large corporations and environment tax. And I would sign the Kyoto Protocol.

4) As a leader, who would you model yourself after? Winston Churchill.

5) As a nation, who impresses you the most? I love Canada. But if I had to look outside of us (and based on my limited knowledge of other countries politics and such), I'd probably look at places like the Netherlands, and maybe Spain. (Truth be told, I simply looked up places that had legalized same sex marriage. I figured that would be a good sign of progressive thinking in government...Netherlands and Spain popped up. And I've heard some good things about the Netherlands so....).


And that brings us to the end of this weeks politically slanted list of questions. Word!






Have a good Weekend!
