I Heart Huckabees or Election 2004

Last night I saw "I Heart Huckabees" and I must say I'm not totally sure what I think of it. It was definitely off the wall and different, things that I usually applaud... but it was also somewhat confused in its message... Part of that was intentional, the film was making fun of the search of answers, but another part of that was because everyone was talking so much philosophy that it became a lecture. It's always better to communicate things in a movie through visuals rather than dialogue. That's like the first lesson in screenwriting! On the whole, I was fairly entertained, but I think that I'd need to see it again to really know what was going on.
If any Americans read this blog (which I doubt) then tomorrow is the big day! You guys get to chose the fate of the world for the next four years (and possibly much longer). Are you going to "go it alone" and chose someone who disregards the fact that this is ONE world and we are all connected? Are you going to chose someone who feels that America's is the only will that matters and screw what anyone else thinks? Are you going to vote for someone who is very close to bankrupting your nation and sending the world spiraling into a global recession? Are you going to vote for someone who thinks God chose him as president? Are you going to vote for someone who (in 2 years) will replace retiring supreme court justices with radical conservatives who will overturn abortion legislation and make it a federal crime again? Do you really want someone in office who has inspired more hatred in terrorists than he has eliminated? What about someone who is systematically dismantling and destroying all environmental legislation in your country, dooming you to vast amounts of pollution and concrete?
I don't blame Americans for not really knowing how the rest of the world feels about Bush. The rest of the world gets its news from outside, and can therefore filter the partisan crap and see the real story. The media in the U.S. is all owned by private corporations with their own agendas... stories are biased and incomplete. You only see one side. You have no idea how much Bush has united "your enemies" in hatred and how much damage he is doing to the rest of the planet... 99% of non-Americans KNOW that Bush is a terrible president and can't understand how the election is even close. The worst part of all this is that he's probably going to be in power even if he loses... There is so much voter fraud going on right now that if the result is close, the supreme court will probably decide the winner again... We all know how that went last time....
In closing... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T VOTE BUSH!
