Election 2005

January 21, 2005

Wow! Two days of heartache and shrill arguments, and I’m in the middle of it all. Laurier is in a political frenzy. The 2005 election campaign started on Wednesday night — that’s when 49 candidates running for 31 positions plastered 1,000 insipid and unimaginative posters on school walls. Link (via LaurierBlogs)

“Some posters are designed well,” Dan said, defending his work. “Mine has a black textbox to attract attention and a lavender background…”

“They may follow good design principles,” I said, “But they’re still ugly.”

I want intelligent posters; I want candidates to frighten me into voting. And yes, I want to run again. Unfortunately, I’m chairing the committee in charge of overseeing the entire electoral process. That makes it difficult for me to run in the election. Oh, and I’m also supposed to be “neutral.”

“So they don’t let you do shit?” my friend asked.

“That pretty much sums it up,” I said. I can’t even argue virulently when I disagree with something (and there are lots of little annoyances). If I stop giving a damn, I won’t get an ulcer.

1000 posters for people with a 75% chance [inqualities across targeted offices not taken into account] of election. Good LORD.

sounds like to me tudor, (speaking to YOU directly mr TUDOR) that you either have a really low self esteem in the sadness, crave for attention, rebellion, and confrontation that you loooooooove to sew…. OR.

Jesus, Helen! I simply love a woman who can use exclamation marks so forcefully. And cap locks too! Wow — I’m tempted to overlook the inanity of your two previous posts.

Tudor, I told you to resign, then you too could play in the election with me!!

Tudor, I think you’ve finally come to the realization it’s time to move on, and focus on where you can really have a positive impact … teaching! Best of luck to you, good sir! :)

I think I was misquoted :)

First of all, my textbox is BLUE… and I would never argue that they weren’t ugly!

Lindsay, the absurdity of the system will always be here to amuse us. And yes, lately I’ve been feeling incredibly broken — I need glue.

Dan, you spent 10 minutes trying to convince me that you followed good design principles … umm.

Anthony, we’ll play in next year’s elections :).
