...actually, most of the times. If, as a nation, there was ever a Red Scare again, I'm certain my name would be brought up as a socialist or communist, and I'd be totally blacklisted... which is fine, since, as a socialite, I'm a failure, and the type of fame I hope to gain would involve people who used their minds and made their own decisions and didn't listen to the government regarding who they should and should not like.
So, I'm a survey rep, and I have to call people and ask them to take a survey. It's a shitty job, somewhere above telemarketer and below waitress. There's a political survey we have to do. I, however, don't want to do it anymore. It's all I can do to not shout at these Republicans I'm forced to listen to tell me that the most important problem facing America today is making anti-abortion legislation and deporting all the illegal immigrants... and drugs. Seriously. I'm not kidding. The War in Iraq? Education? Health Care? Poverty? The Environment? Nothing. Instead, they all like to go off about the illegal immigrants ruining the moral fabric of America, and blasting Mike Johannes for proposing amnesty for the illegals.
If I have to do that survey again, I will tell them to take me off it, because I really do have a hard time keeping my mouth shut, and it will get me into trouble. I mean, I'm a member of MoveOn.org and take part in all their letter writing campaigns (had I the money or the time, I'd donate to them and join their vigils, but I don't.. but I intend to). I have a Save Darfur sticker on my kitchen window. I cannot keep my mouth shut about politics, and am so not a republican that it isn't funny. I don't say things here, but the amount of criticism I have for George W Bush (I'm not too keen, as an American, to have a President who "hears God", or someone who can't fucking use the English language correctly, or say monosyllabic words properly, never mind those huge words with two syllables)
So how can I continually conduct an unbiased interview, with a Republican, who says that George W Bush is "One of the best" presidents we've ever had!? Do they not notice we're waging a real war in a place where we're making no headway, that has nothing to do with the reason we're in the mid-east, and while we're waging actual war, we're waging a PR war, and failing miserably at trying to show the world that we're not really assholes? Our credibility as a nation has fallen sooooooo low that if an American goes overseas, one of us is suddenly responsible for the whole country. Seriously, we're asked to explain America's actions. And that was 3 years ago. I hate to know how much lower we've sunk... now what if we really do need to go to a legitimate war? How are we going to gain any support for that? All thanks to your George W.
...I'm hoping my refusal to do any political surveys will make them fire me. I will also refuse to do any surveys regarding medical insurance. I hate insurance companies, and don't want to help them either.
I'd rather not have the money thanks.
I was actually going to post something else here, but I can't remember what.... oh well. Going to Legends tongiht foto get our drink on, and karaoke. Should be massive fun.
