Bah.

Apologies for the late "stupid election" post. I was busy being 0wnz0red by the 103 midterm. [It was just about as bad as the 63b final. You know, the one where I didn't answer an entire question that was worth about a quarter of the points and wouldn't have had time to even if I'd known where to start, ended up getting something like 60% on it, and still did okay in the class because other people did worse. Now let us never mention it again.]

Anyway, I didn't vote. Save your yelling at me for next year, that I might actually register then. It wouldn't have made a difference in president, of course, but I do kind of regret not voting on all those propositions.

I looked at the Florida propositions on James' ballot. Apparently they tricked people into forcing minors to get parental approval before getting an abortion. I swear the amendment read that minors were required to give parental notification of an abortion afterwards. Grr.

Anyway, I would rant some more, about democracies versus republics versus meritocratic dictatorships (which is my ideal form of government, except those smart enough to rule wouldn't want to), but I still have sets to do.

何ですって？！

LOL, here's a nice example of how Japanese people really do go, "aww, how cute, look at the foreigner trying to understand us," upon seeing students of the language and the dedicated fans who scanlate and fansub.

On the other hand, I suppose it's arguably a better attitude than people who say, "You're in America, so speak our language or else."
