Ah politics. I should pull out my copy of Plato. Or Machiavelli at any rate.

Does anyone find it ironic that I happen to be writing a speech for class arguing against the Electoral College at this very moment?

You have a laptop battery? You mean a battery that sits on your lap? What's the purpose of that?

*chuckle*

Anyway, I'm going back to do some reading before I make my Rep selection.

Hmm....I should vote soon.

I'm currently torn between choosing Shasta or Aganzir...

I'm sort of going in circles here.

I only want to nominate someone who has given me something to work with.

But of course those people I can count on to speak up no matter what, so is it possible that I could use my vote to encourage someone else to take action?

But then I'm uneasy giving power to an unknown.

But some of the "knowns" make me slightly uneasy anyway, so are they any better?

Of course if I hand someone that seems trusted even more power, might the WWs fear their future influence and off them during the night? So perhaps I should fake mistrust of those who I truly trust in order to preserve them for the first couple days.

Gah!

I suspect I'm making this more difficult than it is supposed to be.

Right now in a village of 21, we have eight votes that count. If Brin and I both vote for someone who already has a vote, that'll make it ten.

Less than half. Ugh.

Legate would be a diplomatic choice as he voted for me.

I think Boro and Nog are thinking along similar lines.

I'd like to see what Ilya does with her power.

*thinking thinking*
