Friday, June 13, 2008 The Whole World Should Vote on the American President

"I think that, really, the fair thing would be, in electing the American president, to let everyone in the world vote, because it affects all of us," the words of Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, in a recent RollingStone.com interview.

Seriously, man, I like your music, but really? Have the whole world vote? First off, there are so many countries on this planet that do not even believe voting is a good thing, such a statement is preposterous! Second, you have revealed once again that the rest of the world does not understand the American political process. Besides, who in their right mind would allow one's own enemies to determine the decisions affecting leadership and policy?

Martin also reveals in the interview producer, Brian Eno, when asked for constructive criticism essentially ripped the band a new one. Maybe someone should do the same with regard to his skills as a logician.
