Vote!

[thomryng]

Well, let's see if the looming end of our industrial civilization has changed anybody's vote. This is the second in a series of polls to see who the people reading my blog prefer for U.S. President.

All candidates who are on the ballot in enough states to win a majority in the U.S. Electoral College are listed.

[Poll #1265852]

Poll will remain open for 24 hours (more or less). I'll post another one next week.

You need more conservative friends. ;-)

What do you mean...

The last poll revealed, what, like 10 conservative friends. (Compared to the 3 billion or so not so conservative friends.) That's about the right ratio for Western Washington. (I know, I know we had people from all over the world, I'm just saying.)

McCain...

Same vote, same reasons!

I even took the latest proffered political party placement test thingy recently, and whereas the last time I took it, it showed me as Centrist leaning just over to conservative and the time before that I came up as Centrist just leaning to liberal... this time I came up solid liberal/Democrat... hrmph...

May the Fires of Ragnarok warm your soul!... ;)

That's okay. If McCain took the test he'd probably come out a liberal Democrat as well.

Well, let's see if the looming end of our industrial civilization has changed anybody's vote.

I would submit that the looming end of our industrial civilization is a process that's been going on for quite some time, since at least 1956, when white-collar workers outnumbered blue-collar workers in the US for the first time. This process has continued more or less since that time, through recessions, wars, and other upheavals. The end of industrial civilization has led to new technologies, new advances in the sciences, new treatments for diseases, new solutions to age-old problems. The ever-accelerating end of industrial civilization will continue to lead to new advances, new opportunities, and new ways of repairing the damage that industrialization has done to the planet. The end of industrial civilization is neither new, nor catastrophic. Nor does the end of industrialization mean the end of civilization itself, although it will no doubt lead to a new form of civilization. But that's not new in history either: civilizations evolve.

And you yourself are employed in an information-related field, no? Thus, in your own small way, you can be said to be participating in the end of industrial civilization.
