Campaigning For Public Office

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

I want to live in a country where publicly campaigning for political office violates a basic social contract. Where offenders are shamed for participating in a loathsome, detestable activity. Where we view it for what it actually is: a repugnant, self-aggrandizing, borderline narcissistic circus. Where the hyperbolic rhetoric, the media sensationalism, and the pandering to basic human emotions is morally disgusting.
