The Iron Yuppie

The American candidate ended on Sunday, and it was a pretty good run until the end where it kind of died off. The most interesting part for me was that the show started out with a wide range of political positions, though it was probably a little bit "progressive" heavy (read: liberal), but ended up with the exact same shlock that we see every day. The individual who won, Park, was a conservative and gave a closing speech which not only left me out (as a non-Christian) but could have been given by anyone in Congress or the Senate (note: this is not a good thing). This kind of goes back to game theory. If it was a successful strategy to really be different, people would be. The fact that they're not probably says something. I'm not saying that people shouldn't push the limits, but the reason these kind of people get elected is because they appeal to the broadest set of people.
