I arrived in Washington D.C. sooner than I anticipated, but I didn't really care about it. I must say that the only thing that would make this city much interesting is the fact that this is the country's capital city, but nothing more. However, since this is the time of presidential elections, I should consider myself lucky to be here right now. You wouldn't believe what I saw there, even if I told you.

First off, I passed by the White House. Although it wasn't hit by an airplane a few years back, it did show some signs as if it has been rebuilt. Not so surprising, as I remember to have seen this image of a giant flying space-ship blowing it to smithereens, which happened some ten years ago. Then I wondered, who's in this House right now? I remember to have heard many names the past few years. Jackson, Kealty, Ashton, that woman who's name I keep forgetting, the Palmer brothers, Smith, Logan, Bartlet, Keeler,... this country has had so many presidents in the past decade alone, then it ever had in all the years previously. Should I really be surprised, though? There aren't too many people around the world who like the American idea of freedom, or don't like the idea of freedom altogether, not to mention that some people feel that the American government has a imperialistic agenda, which makes them competitors to other imperialistic governments (I mean, name one that doesn't want to control the whole world).

When I went around to ask people who's in the House right now, first they all laughed at me, but then they couldn't quite agree on the right answer. The one thought it was Ashton, but then the other said he was assassinated, while another said it's Palmer, who according to the one either resigned or was severely injured, or were they confusing the one Palmer for his younger brother? In other words, nobody in the States really knows it themselves.

So you'd say with the elections coming up, it should be easier to know who's the president. In my honest opinion, that would depend on whether this one won't be killed or otherwise tried to be assassinated. In any event, I don't believe that it matters much on who wins the elections, be it Democratic or Republican. Which reminds me, why is this distinction even made? I mean, a country wouldn't be a republic if it wasn't for democracy, nor would there be any democracy if the country wasn't a republic. So in a sense, it means the same, so why are there two separate groups? This was a question nobody could answer.

Next, there was protesters virtually everywhere in the city. As I understand it, these many people who protested were making their point clear about who should win the elections. Well, I'm not sure who this man is they think that should win, but their arguments for who shouldn't win sound very convincing. One of the candidates promised another prison for the people. This didn't sound so bad, until I heard what they had in mind for a prison. This particular candidate, whether it was that Theodore Bridges, who happens to be related to Roosevelt, or the other guy, I'm not sure, but what I do know is that he wants to turn L.A. into a prison, much like what's been done with Manhattan Island a few years back. This particular candidate suggested that the man who was president at the time, temporarily filling in for another, was weak. His security measures were poor, which is why nobody was surprised that his plane crashed in Manhattan. After he was saved, he immediately turned the island back into a normal city. Now, with L.A. having turned into an island, this particular candidate wants it to become the new New York Prison, or rather L.A. Prison. According to some protesters, L.A. only became an island because of a weapon that was made a few years back, the same weapon that caused the Earth's core to stop spinning. To top it all off, this same candidate, when elected, will, and I quote, not being able to stress his sarcasm enough: "make it his duty to take a life-long term."

I know, politics stinks. It's one of these times that makes me happy to not be American. My own country isn't bad enough, what with it having become a republic recently. But the one that's been appointed as our president is a lot dumber than the king and his family altogether. And that royal family was already much dumber than some people credit animals to be. In other words, It's bad enough to have to live with my own political situation, let alone the American one.

Oh, and did I mention that the coming of the press, particularly Faux news, didn't make things any better? This channel claimed to be bringing the truth to the people, but judging from what I heard this female reporter state, she sounded very biased about the presidential candidates. She even picked sides, specifically the one I just described. I thought journalists were supposed to be impartial, but this one didn't even seem to listen to the people, she even went as far as calling them names. This channel sure earned it's name "Faux", as it's French for "wrong". Wonder what got them to name their channel that. Luckily some blue guy with a black mask wearing red underwear (I'm not kidding) tried to restore the peace. Only an idiot would try it the way he did, because what he did merely made things get out of hand, as people had suddenly started to beat the crap out of each other. This included some religious protesters, and that Faux reporter and crew. Seeing this, I couldn't help myself to think that that's a whole bunch of voters, blackmailers and religious freaks less. I've got to hand it to this blue guy, Freaknoid or something that he called himself, if he's able to do that, he may be an idiot but he's much smarter than that pink-suited bimbo back home.

As I'm writing all this, waiting in the train-station to catch my train to New Jersey, I can't help myself thinking of the following: those religious protesters I mentioned, they demanded, and again I quote, which would sound sarcastic if I said it out loud: "to return America to God". That's not to mention that on every dollar bill I've seen so far, there's "in god we trust" written on it. If they love their god so much, why don't they elect him to be their next president? Because that's impossible, I know that, but imagine that, this God-person were to rule America. A god, who loves us all, yet is ready to kill us all whenever he so pleases. This would mean that many more people will suffer more gravely than they already are, and this world will become a dystopia.

Okay, this I have to mention. Just as soon as I was about to board the train, a man was being carried out, screaming his head off, claiming that the train will crash. Because he was shouting all that, they had to carry him, and his friends out. I don't know what it is that made him shout all that, maybe he saw something which technicians overlooked, out of which he knew that something will happen. That, or he was just a troublemaker. In any event, I didn't want to take my chances, so I didn't get on the train. Turns out I was right not to board it, as shortly after that, it derailed.

This does make me thinking. I mean, in Florida I bad-mouthed God, and I was nearly struck by lightning. I did it again here and the train I was supposed to be on crashed. Some gullible people would think this is God, punishing me for speaking ill of the Almighty All-loving God. If he loved me so much, he wouldn't try to kill me so many times. Besides, even if he would, he only just proved my point. This god should not be allowed to rule the world, let alone America, as so many people want him to. If God would kill people just because they disrespect him, then to hell with God!
