Songs without Words

Yay, I know what I’m taking this term now.  Uhuhu, Google Calendar is my friend~~

So here’s something intriguing: the Barack Obama facebook group is trying to get 1,000,000 members.  Now, normally, facebook groups are trivial and silly – like “I tried to ford the river, but my oxen died” or groups with 2 members, both of which are fictional characters.  Nevertheless, I wonder what this group can do – if they can convince 1,000,000 students to go out and vote, that’s no longer something trivial at all.  The total number of people who voted in the 2004 elections was 122 million, for reference.

Of course, most of these “activist” facebook groups end up creating lots of buzz because of the ease of joining, while nothing actually ever comes out of it.  I’ll wait and see how this plays out.  Noting that the current debate is about nothing other than “omg, they changed the goal dates for 1,000,000 members,” I guess I should be at least a bit skeptical.

Hrm, I want to see full sheets of candidates’ stands on every issue from environment to gun control to death penalty to cross-straits issues before endorsing any particular person.  Not that anyone cares a whit about who I’d like to see as president, anyway ^^;;
