When it comes to mobile phones, I see no reason why everyone shouldn't have one. But none of them should have ringtones anymore. Stick it on vibrate, put it in your pocket and stop abusing my ears with your horrid taste in "music". </endrant>

And cell phone etiquette should be taught in elementary schools with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. I can't count how many times I've been sitting in a lecture and someone's phone goes off and they run out the door, or worse yet, answer it in class. You're in class to learn, and nothing in your life is that important, so sit down, shut up and turn the phone off. </endrant2>

When it comes to all that political malarky, I'm thoroughly apolitical. I really just don't care anymore. Political parties in democracies across the globe have become so focused on the lowest common denominator that there's no difference between them anymore. On voting day it comes down to whether you prefer the sound of "Tax Hike" or "Temporary Income Adjustment". All the same [censored] at the end of the day.

Set up a dictatorship (Irish blood prevents me from suggesting a monarchy) for all I care. Nothing will change, except we won't have to put up with the mind-numbing amount of *****ing, back-stabbing, and mud-slinging of today's politics. Oh, and political commentators will be out of a job. And hey, if it gets rid of Bill O'Reilly, that can't help but be a good thing, right?
