Why can't I write about something that isn't politically related?

oh right, elections are around the corner, that's right.

So the latest wave maker: polls! weee! everyone's favourite descriptive tool - STATISTICS! Thank goodness (dammit I cannot believe I am about to say this) I did those stats courses in university. I might be one of the poor, ignorant people who are mislead by statistics that promote a certain view of things. What effect this has on the population I cannot say.. mostly because I don't want to sit down and analyese it, otherwise I think I might be able to deduce the effect.. I didn't do 4 years of psych simply to be an event co-ordinator/decorator. Anyway, I digress; Statistics lie. They can be manipulated. 90% of people polled, in a population (country) say they like doubles and red solo. 10% say they like saheena and cream soda chubby, so doubles must be the winner right? but how many people did you really interview? what? 10? alone? so 9 ppl said they like doubles? where did you interview these people? outside Ali's (a doubles parlor)? ohhh okay.. so you see.. statistics are misleading. Unless there is complete transparency in the processes used to derive the final output and you have the intellect to understand those porcesses, accept anything you get with a healthy dose of salt.

Richie Kolounji.. or should I say Sizzla Spice? I have uncovered a secret demographic that politicians, esp in this year's election, are trying to appeal to: the ignorants. This demographic transcends race, ethnicity, gender, age, education (believe me, it does) and sexual orientation. This demographic consists of the people who listen to foreign superstars singing political jingles and are manipulated. These ignorants believe anything they're told, but especially when it comes from an international artiste. If Snoop Dogg came to Trinidad and said go shave your grandmother's heads these people would have a lot less inheritance money to collect when dear granny dies. These are the people who use campaigning and rallies as an excuse to party and get on like it's carnival. I got stuck in traffic a couple cars to the side of a PNM maxi and some guys streamed out and started dancing and carrying on in the streets. Yes, this will definitely help push our country into the next decade.

ok fack, I falling asleep on myself here, out!
