Elections for fluther?

Well, I’d say that someday I’d consider taking a shot at it, but we would definitely have to give a term or two to our founders Ben and Andrew before anyone else would get a crack at it if you ask me.

And the job description would be what?

we have two terrific leaders already, and I wouldn’t trade them for anyone else.

It’s an interesting idea for certain sites and communities, but not this one. In my opinion anyway.

I’m cool with this place staying an oligarchy.

well for the future, a future far far away, in a galaxy…..................not so far away.

While I’d love Dale to be my president (of anything), and would consider several others great “cabinet members”, I like the site just the way it is. Andrew and Ben and all the mods do a great job here, as kind of “benevolent dictators” and that’s ok by me.

I call secretary of Defense!!!

@wrestle: Let me be more clear. We like things the way they are.

I call minister of propoganda.

I haven’t been here very long and most of the time I just observe.

The candidates I would chose would be EmpressPixie, and Judy but overall for President I would have to chose Dale because he puts a lot of thought into everything he writes and he doesn’t mind writing out the long version if needed.

If there is an opening for Court Jester I can fill that spot.

Thanks for the props, y’all. I do however have to echo, I’m very happy with the way things are here now.

I vote to leave Fluther the wonderful place it is now. I would, however, like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for Queen of the World.

My platform:
1. All ATM machines must have the same buttons in the same places and work the same way.

2. Cell phones will be modified to provide feedback to the speaker so that I don’t have to listen to everyone else’s conversations in public.

There will be more. Keep watching this space.

I will run the Ministry of Love, while others can be chosen to control the Ministries of Truth, Peace and Plenty.

Let’s party like it’s 1984!

@Marina: I love eavesdropping on the bus. It’s how I get some of my best entertainment. I make up the most amazing stories in my head about the people on the phone. Once I listened to a girl and her mum had clearly stolen her identity and I don’t think she was quite at the level of accepting it yet, but almost there. It was interesting. Anyway, I oppose your second plank.

@EmpressPixie Eavesdropping existed well before cell phones. Carry on.

Are you never annoyed at people taking phone calls in restaurants? In the grocery line? In the ladies room in a stall?

Only when it is rude—ie, to the detriment of the establishment or offensive to the waiter/cashier. In the ladies room, no, not annoying. Amusing. And again, possibly rude to the other person on the line, but not annoying.

I understand, I mean futuuuuure, maybe, like 30 years into the future.

You think they are going to evaporate in 30 years? They both look young and healthy to me.

Minister of Silly Walks?

well like i said in the fuuuuuuutuuuuure.

If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve.

(great sigh of relief bubbles to the surface or is that just huh?)

well for future note, i call dibs on secretary of defense.

You are repeating yourself, Wrestle. (Not a good attribute for a cabinet position).

Is there a salary?

there’s no job.

In that case I’m not interested
