Thankful

During Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for. If I had to pick someone in my philosophy class to be thankful for it would be Tina. She has sat behind me this whole year. I didn't know her before this class but she is a very nice person. She greets me everyday with a hello and asks me how my day has been. She has the confidence to express her opinions and stays true to her beliefs. She makes some of the more strenuous activities more bearable I'm glad I sat in front of her because she is a wonderful person to know and I'm glad that I got to meet her. Without her I would probably just sit in the corner and not talk for the whole year. I also want to thank all my friends and family for making my day every day. Life is amazing! Happy Thanksgiving!

Election

Who would Camus vote for? If we assume Camus is not like Meursault in any way and he wrote The Stranger to show how nihilism is bad, Camus would vote for Obama because he would try to inform himself with all the candidates, understand that only a democrat or republican could win, realize Romney lies all the time, and vote for Obama. If Camus were like Meursault, he wouldn't vote because it wouldn't matter.
Voltaire would vote for Obama because in Candide, Voltaire explained why greed is bad. Romney wants to decrease taxes on the rich but studies have shown that this doesn't stimulate the economy but instead only helps the rich. The GOP has also gone out of their way to kill these studies showing the fraud in the system which Voltaire doesn't like either.
