Inspired by Ecky’s post about the American and the upcoming Indonesian election, I agree with her;
Yes, we can make a change! We can absolutely do it by choosing NOT to vote.
As the people, we have the power to do so. It’s our numbers against their needs. Those politicians think they can fool us with their soppy ads and their empty promises, when all of us know well enough that all they want is the power to govern this country and corrupt it to fuck.
I was sort of interested in to the whole US election thing, mostly because I wanted to see the black man win.
And winning he did - I just saw the breaking news on the telly this afternoon, he won 338 electoral votes over McCain’s 155, which, according to WikiNews, was enough to clinch the presidency of the United States.
What interested me more was the fact that the majority of Indonesian people - 67% of them, according to Kompas.com, and even Indonesia’s Vice President Mr. Jusuf Kalla was voting and expecting Obama to win.
A few weeks ago, himself and I had lunch with Elyani at a new vintage-styled food court at Kelapa Gading mall - an area where she lives.
Because I talked about Elyani so much, himself was already acquainted with who she was, not to mention that she was helping me on a really big project which involve of me borrowing her awesome photography skill for the whole day, and himself was there as well to help out (as well as being a patient driver), so they got a chance to bond.
