Red Tomato day

Elections can lead to strange things. For instance, I was offered a styrofoam tomato-cutout at the train station this morning. Not so shockeng, since the party that was trying to winn my sympathy has a red tomato as a symbol, being of the very socialist type of parties. But the inplications of this gift gave me a very warm feeling.

Now let it be noted that in general, I concider socialism of the more extreme type very suited for students and other youthfull types that don't have enough property to be a kapitalist. Somebody once said, (and I cann't remember who, but I can remember it was no fool) that is perfectly alright to be a leftie if you're twenty, but that it is very worying if you are still a leftie when you are forty.

Still, that 50 year old activist that handed me that foam tomato made me warm inside. Cause this was a perfect example of a political party living up tho their beliefs. Of coarse, at the end of the day, the sation will be littered with foam-tomatoes, thrown aside by travelers. So if you are a poor, unemployed person that cann't even afford Chrismas decorations, all you need to do is collect them, buy a can of gold spay paint, paint them gold, stick them on a thread and there you have it, free Christmas spirit, from the socialist party.
I'd almost vote for them. Unfortunatly, I have a house and a job, so I cann't afford voting them.
