The "S" word

For a while now the word s**t has bothered me, but not in the way it bothers most people. I'm sure that most of us can agree that s**t is a "bad word", but why? As far as I know s**t is another word for poop. From an early age we a discouraged to use the word s**t and in many cases we are not supposed to say poop either, so we have to make up names like doo doo. So if doo doo is another word for poop, isn't it the same as s**t? But one is encouraged and the other is highly discouraged. Weird.

Stupid Books

Why do politicians always publish these autobiographies? What makes their life so special that we want to read a novel about it. My question is: why do we care? For some reason the politicians seem to think that we want to read about their lives of giving speeches, and making decisions, and just being normal people with an average career, if perhaps a little more well known than some other average people. Of course people read the books for an entirely different reason. When they see a book titled My Life and you should care because I am a politician, they must read, How I lied and cheated to get elected. The problem is the book is not going to have that in it, because that would be like political suicide, "I just told you about how I rigged the last election, vote for me!" Unless of course politicians are really stupid, in which case do we really want them to run the country? Here's a thought, maybe we shouldn't elect polititions to office.
