Well this medium is quite archaic. But I'm just too lazy to switch over to anything else.
Been wanting to post a couple thoughts but did not get the chance to. Lets get to it...

1. I hate politics. I've never really been interested in that stuff .... but I will admit, I was forced to get into it once I started working for a couple years. Working hard, then seeing a chunk of dough never quite get to you because thats the government's take.... the price of living in our wonderful country and province. Which is great. But yea, definitely pay more attention to where that part goes now.

One part of politics which I despise is the insincerity of it all. The elections are coming up and promises are being spewed, but it is a given that those are there just to get your vote. And the attacks on personality and the attacks on the competing parties. It gets nasty, when they should just focus on their platforms instead of smear campaigns. Once in, they can do whatever they want. And the diversions to appease the masses. Blind masses. Or "Sheeple" as my older bro says. Policies or decisions being made which seem to "aid" or what I call bandaid a problem, but in the end it benefits someone else, other than the intended.

I liken politicians to car sales men/women. The bottom line is their own commission.

I was thinking of this last week mostly because I experienced part of this political diversion last week and I could not stand it. Mind you when I say politics, it can stem to any level, even very close within your colleagues and working institutions.

I was the lead in a teleconference meeting with an association last week. We had less than 30 minutes to get our question out. We had briefed each other the day before and had about 3 questions to be asked in order. I believe the people with whom we met were expecting something from us. Because once I asked the first question, the answer I got back was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long winded. Bordering on stalling for time, filling in space, overpowering the conversation and a huge attempt at diverting the direction of the conversation into a huge arm tangent.

wtf.

What happened to simple concise answers? Just answer the question. gez.

The conversation ended up to be an hour long, with other important players leaving the conversation due to another meeting, and several interruptions on my part to get the conversation back on track so that we can get to our main question, and because of this parties on both sides bordered on a tone of antagonist and defensive.

joy.

As I said, I hate the insincerity of Politics.
