Le Weekend

This weekend was spent in the following manner: Friday was filled up from 11 am to 1 am with the wedding of a friend, Saturday was spent in a relaxing manner where the house was also cleaned up and I got a chance to watch some of the Barcelona game, then Sunday was spent having breakfast with a friend in Friedrichshain, going to the market in Boxhagener kiez and then home to do nothing (which is definitely underrated).

Today I wasted some time looking at photos of protestor´s signs in the US that are against Obama. I don´t really know what to think about this most of the time. I have narrowed it down to two options: A. these people are completely out of their minds and paranoid about everything or B. these people have no idea what is going on and are using this opportunity to prove just how bad American schools are for promoting free thinking.

All these notions that the US is being destroyed that are promoted on all the media outlets by such scum as Glenn Beck and co. are actually counterproductive to any debate taking place. These people are screaming that they should be heard, yet they are actually well represented in both the House and the Senate so this brings us back to the idea that American schools are doing fuck all to educate them about how democracy actually works. A diversity of ideas and a healthy debate are what make democracies and cultures strong. That Obama is labelled a Fascist or Communist at every turn is a slap in the face to anyone who fought either of those two forms of government. In fact it is a slap in the face to every veteran from WWII. I wish the Republican party had some intellectual thinkers who could debate things so that there would be a debate and not a minority mob chanting in the streets about their paranoia.
