Candidate B did win. The police and the PBA backed the other guy. It was a running joke on campus that candidate B was going to win because everyone in the County, including the cops, really just wanted to smoke a joint. <BR/><BR/>It really does not matter. All of them are corrupt. He won and nothing changed. Lots of money was still wasted on BS. And there was never any shortage of weed in the dorms.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-65208083000005971412007-09-17T20:12:00.000-04:002007-09-17T20:12:00.000-04:00Frankly, iguana, I'd probably have voted for Candi...Frankly, iguana, I'd probably have voted for Candidate B as well. Experience isn't the only criteria by which to judge a candidate (see, for instance, Dick Cheney). I'd much rather police money be dedicated to fighting real crimes than have them go to our endless War on Drugs (TM). <BR/><BR/>Which, if you believe the endless reams of social science research published in the last 50 years, actually increases violent crime.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I might even turn on MTV again to see RW: Anacostia.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842663992025384172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-85293270543301722022007-09-17T18:18:00.000-04:002007-09-17T18:18:00.000-04:00I'd personally like to see MTV's Real World Anacos...I'd personally like to see MTV's Real World Anacostia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-54939438484363467662007-09-16T02:23:00.000-04:002007-09-16T02:23:00.000-04:00Then you can sell out to some commercial developer...Then you can sell out to some commercial developer for big buck$.<BR/><BR/>I do not think people who watch MTV are aware of much of anything at all. It is kind of scary that they vote.<BR/><BR/>When I was a student at University Of Florida in Gainesville there was a local election for the new sheriff. <BR/><BR/>Candidate A had a solid background in law enforcement (was an FBI agent for a number of years), and campaigned on a platform of being tough on drugs and having no tolerance for pot. <BR/><BR/>Candidate B was never in the FBI, was more of a politician than a cop, and campaigned on a platform of being tough on violent crime, but not really all that tough on minor things like smoking a little pot and having a wild crazy party at your apartment complex. <BR/><BR/>Guess who won?The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
