there may still be hope for texas

a very nice guy, a nurse working for me, is moving to austin, but that's not all that inspires the title... what prompted me to have a little hope for the state with the small mind per capita is that they voted ric cantor out of office... ric came to my attention because he pops up when my name is googled and some people thought i might be him and sometimes my name is put on forms by work as cantor because some people do not pay attention... i found out he was a leading conservative republican politician who stood for so many oppressive backwards inequalities i was sad that our names were so similar... he'll probably run for governor or senator or president or something because that is often what failed politicians do when they are delusional like him... so many believe in inequality, it is sad, but at least some texans are stepping up and doing what is right...

politics?... yeah, i know... i rarely write politics here in (e)thereal because politics is so unreal (and depressing), but if you are asking i am a firm independent believing in freedom, equality, and fairness... i see party platforms and wonder how they can sleep at nights... politics is about greed and power trips, controlling others but most of all, controlling money... politicians are own by banks and corporations and the proof is obvious as bankers and corporate people break the law all the time and rarely does any go to jail, in fact, they are given tax dollars whenever they claim they made a mistake and need more money... so these days i have almost no respect for the republican party platform because, well, just look at what they want... the democrats have a few good ideas, but they are still money-driven so they don't represent me... other parties are ideas, relatively meaningless in real life... elizabeth warren gets my attention by confronting the power mongers sometimes, but does anything actually change?...

anyway, way to go texas people for telling a small mind you don't want them leading you into their dark fear-filled fantasies...
