Those drawings are really neat, I like the blend between the more realistic style and anime style.
You seem t have a lot of projects going on, and I'm glad that you are going so far ahead with AMJ. I liked that story ^^
About the voting thing, I agree that people can be rude and pushy. I also think that its really really stupid to vote when you don't know anything about the people you are voting for. I actually knew a girl who decided who she would vote for based on an internet quiz!
When the actual people got decided on I wasn't too excited because really, both people are alright. McCain isn't a horrible monster and Obama isn't either. Neither of them would ruin the country I think, Obama really seems to want to help and McCain has always been very moderate and reasonable.
However, when I started reading about Sarah Palin I got really freaked out. You should look her up a bit. She is a scary person, and I don't think I'm comfortable with having her for a vice president with how old McCain is.
Yes, I had a general idea from the things I've been hearing that Palin is a frightening person and your articles further prove that point. However let's say the whole scenario does play out that Palin does become president. Let's say she does try to do some radical things like call for creationism classes and no abortions no matter what the excuse. Does being president really give her the power to enforce these things? Is this not a democratic system that there are multiple branches to go through before a decision is actually made? Or are we lead to believe all that and it's actually a dictatorship and we citizens are too stupid to tell the difference? I'm not entirely convinced that through these elections that it is the end of the world by who we choose. It seems to me that there are ways of avoiding terrible ideas if it comes to that point. I understand one of those ways is by the very election itself in having the citizens choose who we want as president, but then I come back to the point on what does my vote really mean in all this and is it worth my time compared to the other more meaningful things that I could be doing.
Please argue with me if you feel I am wrong. I certainly do not claim to be an expert of these matters by any means.

Here are two articles I read that have a lot of information, and lots of links too. All of things said are backed up with news articles and such. Its a think to consider.
