Brazil candidate 'handed out cocaine with election leaflets'
How far are you willing to go to win an election? Would you go so far as to pay the voters, or blackmail your competitors, or would you go so far as to hand out drugs. According to reports a Brazil city council candidate has been arrested after she was caught allegedly handing out cocaine with her election leaflets thats a pretty good way to convince people huh...? Carme Cristina Lima, 32 years of age, was running for councillor of Itacoatiara, in the northern states of Amazonas in Brazil. Police officials bacame suspicious of Ms. Carme Cristina Lima when a large crowd allegedly gathered around her car on the morning of the elections on Sunday. The cops decided to search her car and low and behold found hundereds of tiny packets of cocaine within the confines of the vehicle. As well as leaflets with instructions on how to vote for her its just another example of pure genious... Am I right? So I guess it's a pretty straight forward answer as to who won the elections. So for those of you who would rather cheat than play fairly when it comes to elections how about you suck it up and lose with dignity instead of trying to bribe people to vote for you. Oh.. and for the love of God don't give drugs to people cause its just gonna wind up getting you caught! Votes yes, Cocaine no. Take my advice don't be an idiot.

The song "Another Way to Die" by Disturbed depicts a world completly ravaged and destroyed by War, Famine, Pollution, Greed, and the need for Power. I don't know the origins of which this song was created but what I fathom is the band created it for entertainment purposes only but if they did in fact create it to be like a hidden message I'm not sure. I feel that this song should be treated just a little bit more seriously because the world truely is being destroyed through war and pollution, greed, the need for power, and of course famine which is the fastest way to start a war. The song may or may not have the same effect on you as it does me but eventually world your gonna have to wake up and smell the roses, this isn't the same world it was when your great, great, great grandparents were around. The world is destroying itself because of man's selfish need for control.
The indulgence of our lives has cast a shadow on our world.
Our devotion to our appetites betrayed us all.
An apocalyptic plight.
More destruction will unfold.
Mother Earth will show her darker side and take her toll.
It's just another way to die.
There can be no other reason why.
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny will be revealed in time.
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky.
A sign of devastation coming.
We don’t need another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
[Pre-chorus:]
The Time bomb is ticking and no one is listening.
Our future is fading.
Is there any hope we’ll survive?
[Chorus:]
Still, we ravage the world that we love.
And the millions cry out to be saved.
Our endless maniacal appetite.
Left us with another way to die.
It's just another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
Greed and hunger led to our demise.
A path I can’t believe we followed.
Black agenda’s rooted in a lie.
Will we repent in time?
Species fall before our very eyes.
A world that they cannot survive in left them with another way to die.
Are we dead inside?
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus x2]
P
Can we repent in time?
It's just another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
Our devotion to our appetites betrayed us all.
An apocalyptic plight.
More destruction will unfold.
Mother Earth will show her darker side and take her toll.
It's just another way to die.
There can be no other reason why.
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny will be revealed in time.
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky.
A sign of devastation coming.
We don’t need another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
[Pre-chorus:]
The Time bomb is ticking and no one is listening.
Our future is fading.
Is there any hope we’ll survive?
[Chorus:]
Still, we ravage the world that we love.
And the millions cry out to be saved.
Our endless maniacal appetite.
Left us with another way to die.
It's just another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
Greed and hunger led to our demise.
A path I can’t believe we followed.
Black agenda’s rooted in a lie.
Will we repent in time?

It's just another way to die.
Can we repent in time?
