I was talking with some friends about the election. We all said that we wanted to vote and that we all were interested in politics. But with all that we weren't sure who to vote for and we were generally annoyed with politicans and they way politics is carried out these days. For all that I am 100% news even the news is annoyingly predictable with highly spun, micro-managed party soundbites. What could we do about I thought..

How about some 21st century Gandhi-style Satayagrah? I would like to organise public sighing as a way of vocalising our disapointment at the level of political discourse. Here's how it works:

We get a group together and try and attend any political rally or briefing from the 3 main parties. Whenever anyone makes a clearly spun, anodyne political platitude or pointless trashing of the other parties we all sigh - like Marvin the Paranoid Android on steroids - and repeat as follows:

[SIGH...] "Oh God! Why do we bother..." [DEPRESSED EXHALATION]

Citizens, arise!! Le jour de gloire est arrivee...
