Entry 000003

These times of elections invoke in the subjects a stupidity of such proportion that We find it quite promising. Our chief media advisor suggested that We consider new consultants for choreographing the next election. We find ourselves torn by his proposition. To his credit, the absurdist tone of elections past has made for increasingly absurd subjects. The inanity of the televised pundits is of such excess now that We fear that any remaining critical-minded subjects may see the farce for what it is, so for this reason the media advisor may have a valid point in wanting to tone down the variety of issues. He feels, and perhaps rightly so, that issues such as the climate, sexuality, healthcare, and economy should be slowly phased out. He proposes that We stick to the basics during these transitory years and seems to favor a Cold War mentality.

However, the bipartisan pageantry has always proven to be effective beyond our initial expectations. We must admit that the proposition of homosexuality as a key topic in this stage felt like it may be inadequate, but the media advisor's suggestion has proven more longevity than We anticipated. The growing trend of subjects identifying themselves as "moderates" in our left-right paradigm are increasingly pulling to the opposite extremes as We hoped. We feel that if We returned to a more simplistic conflict model, these subjects would return to a more moderate viewpoint. We shall ponder this further, but for the time being, We will continue on the present course; at the very least, until our project in Afghanistan is completed.
