Popularity Contest

It seems that in these days, everything is basically a popularity contest.
Just a few weeks ago we had our school elections for the class of '09 representatives. To be honest, neither of the contestants were worthy of the positions, especially the position of the president. Both of the candidates actually sucked ass!
None of the candidates were prepared. the first girl that ran for president, the supposedly popular "gangsta" one was on the student council for only 1 freaking semester, while the other one "just wanted to become the president" (her own words). When my friends and i decided to at least ask each of the candidates regarding their stand on things that have been happening in school at least the "gangsta" one was better prepared. She had come up with some (apparently unmemorable) solutions that were at least much better than asking for the unspent money of the class that was going to graduate this year. According to the second candidate, we were going to "beg" this year's senior class to give us their unspent money instead of making their grad-night ticket prices go down. Ya right, like that's ever going to happen!
Well, as you all have realized this election was just honestly a joke. Who won? the person with no solution to anything. Well, at least she was on the student council for like year...
Just like i said, this election was nothing but a popularity contest. The person who won, did so just because she asked all of her friends to vote for her.. For Chrissake, what has this country turned into???

ok, seriously 15 D's, be fair. the now-president of gh is someone I've known for four years now, and she'll do SUCH a better job than that other B****. sorry, but I knew both of them, and if anything, she WON against the popular vote. the HEAD TEACHER of student council tried to unseat her because she LIKE THE OTHER GIRL BETTER. not b/c she thought she'd do a better job, but b/c she knew her better. I mean, hello? I agree that all votes are now popularity rigged, but this year was not. I know she may not seem like a good choice, but she's really smart and at least will be more open to ideas and not just looking out for herself and her friends. (btw- I found ur site again! can't you tell lol. keep up the rants! =] )

Agreed! I honestly don't care about it anymore- as long as they do a descent job on making our prom ticket prices reasonable....
