I find it interesting that a good number of potential voters (group #1) are supporting a candidate simply because he is not the other guy, while a good number (group #2) are supporting the other candidate because they can’t fathom the thought of a future determined by group #1.
Let’s hope they cancel each other out.

“The toe is the Achilles’ heel of the foot.”
— NFL analyst Ron Jaworski on Sky Sports

“But things got worse on Saturday, when 17-year-old Shaun Dykes climbed on to the roof of the Westfield shopping centre in Derby and threatened to throw himself off. For three hours afterwards trained negotiators tried to talk him down, but their efforts were destroyed when people in the crowd that had gathered below decided to egg him on. Amid cries of “Go on, jump!” and “how far can you bounce?” Shaun hurtled the 60 feet to his death. Then, as if their callous indifference to this young man’s life wasn’t enough, members of the baying mob rushed forwards and took pictures of his broken body with their mobile phones.” — (via riazm+guardian) (via salonika) (via noppppp) (via babypanda) (via morgenstern)
