Photos of what happens when political duality can afford to pay rent and the landlord dosen't mind the waste of paper. Look at the Keystone State's FLag in the first picture.

Here we have three pictures that show how much the average american is wasting paper on the upcoming election. From my view these little paperboard signs are not really what politics is all about, rather they are constant reminders or how wasteful our current democracy is. Who ever spends more on an election ultimately deforests more. Or is that recycled paper with soy-based inks? I doubt it. It does matter if it was done by workers who recieve a living wage. But do they understand the consequences of their labor and the true direction of thier leadership in regards of sustaining the earth. Both Kerry and Bush represent a paradigm that is fading away: duality. As we are entering an age of Wholistic Government I want to know how the residents of these two apartments share a common bond with the earth. They probably eat the same food, use the same energy sources, and drink the same water.

If we were to count the number of signs in the windows, would the supporter who used less resources to convey their candidates message be the true winner of the earth's trust?

If so the signs in the windows read as
Bush 6
Kerry 4

Get the picture yet?

typical politics
by Jesse Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2004 at 10:49 AM

Politics are now fought with posterboards and saying bad things about their opponent. Most people aren't voting for someone, but against the person they hate. This years presidental race is so unhealthy and pathdic.
