You Remember the Commercials, Right?
Bad pirates, evil warlords, fill-in-the-blank awfuls that are running towards something unknown. Meanwhile, average-dressed Person A goes to pay for something with also average-dressed, excited Person B next to them. Out comes the wallet, and in come the bad people. And, LOW!, just in the nick of time, it’s a Copital Won CC and the baddies are subdued.
Enter US Presidential Elections (minus the subduing). The question has become not “Who will you vote for”, but rather, “What will you do when they win?” America as whole will now have a bull’s eye on our backs as we claim responsibility for the decisions of our next president, much like we should have with the creation and destruction (and attempted resurrection) of one Brittany Spears.
With society now able to quickly create massive waves in a short time about what’s popular [read: youtube, myspace, and facebook] our individualism often changes from a decision maker to a response giver. And here’s where it comes together: Be prepared.
Be prepared for what Brittany does next. Be prepared for what our youth become socially. Be prepared for what our next president will do. What’s in your election wallet?
