True democracy and a government that works for the people. Get rid of the electoral college. It is outdated.

Journalism, activism, objectivism, music, enjoying the company of my friends, being aware of what's going on around me...politically and otherwise. Investigating, reading, playing my keyboards. Writing/working/partying. I love impressionism, post impressionism, and pop art. I'm obsessed with the 60s and the 20s to some extent. I love mid sixties fashion. I'm also in love with the UK. I'll go one day, if I ever have the money or want to fuck up another credit card.Having fun whilst still being a responsible adult. Isn't that what it's all about?
war is a good investment, invest your son
