"National Association for the Advancement of Consciousness and People"

I really like that. It's so all-encompassing. Not only can we look towards wiping out racism, but we can try and get people more aware of, well, everything. Because apathy is boring. (see below.) smileyface indeed, will.i.am. :)

I really have nothing else to say about this. will.i.am seems to put things into words so well; it's that whole musician/political activist thing.

Maybe I'll leave you with this?

Now I have more to write about! This is a pretty cool site; it's all about teaching youth about democracy through art and technology. It also produces great quotes such as: "Democracy can’t be sexy until we understand what it means." It's a Canadian site, actually, so I've been having fun reading about all the different political parties. I hope the United States can end up with a less bipartisan system such as this one. That's a hard thing to move toward, though. More recognition for third parties (actually allowing them in the debates, etc), please?

On another note, I wonder if the Neo-Rhino party's ideas would actually work? Here's some of them, if you don't feel like poking around the website:

• The Neo Rhino Party are the ultimate anti-party. They don’t follow the political cliché of making empty promises; instead they offer outlandish ideals (as well as budgets) that sound both perfect and impossible.
• The elimination of ads on TV.
• To invest $5 million to create an army of clowns to save the world.
• A country with so rich with culture, it will drive our economy.
• Abolish the prescription of Ritalin.
• They also intend to adopt proportional representation in Parliament, give children the right to vote, increase voter turnout by paying electors $10 to vote, and redecorate voting booths with soft music.
• The Party recommends a preventative approach to healthcare where laughter is the best medicine.

(All points taken from the Apathy is Boring Website.)
Also, the party is run by a guy legally named Satan, they refer to themselves as “Marxist-Lennonists”, as in Groucho Marx and John Lennon, they're closely aligned with Great Britain’s Monster Raving Loony Party, they're involved in an electoral lawsuit called Satan v. Her Majesty the Queen, and theire main priorities are "army of clowns to promote laughter and world peace, abolish the environment, guaranteed weekly orgasms for everyone, national gas barbecue registry, if ever elected would dissolve government." Oh, Canada. (And here's the Monster Raving Loony Party. http://www.omrlp.com/index.php?page=manifestoproposals-1. Their proposals are pretty spectacular as well, but I don't really feel like posting all of them. Boo.)

(Sorry if this post makes no sense. It's midnight, and I just felt like talking. A lot.)
