Pointless Quizzes Amuse Me

Inspired by my friend WCW's dabbling with an online quiz...
I am a A Moon Dragon!

Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Moon Dragon on the inside.

In the war between good and evil, a Moon Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality....

When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon is a risk taker and answers to no one....

As far as magical tendancies, Your inner dragon has the ability to conquer the world of magic, but it will not be easy....

During combat situations, whether by spells or by claw, your inner dragon will do whatever it takes to get the job done....

The Moon Dragon has translucent scales and emits a soft white glow from it's body, thus earning it's name.'

The moon Dragon is an especially large Dragon, but beautiful and graceful. It makes it's home in mountainous regions, often picking a large cavern to be it's lair.'

Moon Dragons are nocturnal in nature, only coming out at night. They silently fly through the nighttime sky, hunting deer, antelope or other woodland creatures. The Moon Dragon has a particularly long lifespan even amongst dragonkind. Some Moon Dragons have been known to live for several millennia, making it one of the longest lived creatures in existence.

Monday's Election

It's been a while since I've posted. I've had many ideas of things to write, but somehow have not felt an overwhelming impetus to do it. I'm sure that as the daylight increases and my classwork lightens I'll post some more, but in the interim, don't expect huge amounts of text here.

However, today's post is about the upcoming Canadian Federal Election on Monday.

I will quote Heinlein:
If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that a truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.
I also found this fun link: http://www.politicswatch.com/VoteSelectorQuiz2006.html

It's a little quiz which will, with little investment of time, let you know based on your answers which political party's platform most closely matches yours.

I encourage you to go out and vote. If I were made emperor for a day, I'd have a law in place making voting mandatory (like they do in Australia and other places). We give up our voice in government too easily and cheaply.
