I performed my civic duty this weekend and registered to vote in the upcoming general SA election. I tend to generally take a dim view of large elections. In this country, that has a curious mixture of 1st world and 3rd world lifestyle the 3rd world lifestyle, not by choice of course, tend to be the uneducated, easily excitable majority so I doubt that my lone voice, supporting a minority view will make a large difference. This means that people like the 'revered 'ANC president Jacob Zuma have a far better chance of becoming president, but hey, some presidents never even had the wealth of education such as a completed grade 5. Naturally, education is not the only prerequisite, but it is more then a nice-to-have.

On a completely unrelated note, I spotted this article about incorporating both the bedroom and the bathroom into one space. The concept of an on-suite bathroom is hardly new, but to enjoy the toilet smells and after bath humidity whilst sleeping is simply not enticing. Colour me an ultra conservative, but that's just me.
