Don't Get Caught Voting The Wrong Way.

Nanotargeting. That's not some new military weapons system. It's all about the campaign and voting habits. So instead of zeroing in on a tank two miles away, it means that the political parties are zeroing in on you. In fact, they're zeroing in on your left hand. Or your right hand, or your pinkie finger of either hand, or the thumbs of each hand individually. Yep, Somehow they've managed to figure out what you will have for breakfast on the morning of the election. Which side of the bed you'll get up on and what shoes you will select to wear. About the only thing they haven't figured out yet is the weather. But they're working on that. Here we are in the land of the free and the home of the brave and they know who you will vote for. The general elections are more than six months away and they already know more about you than your spouse does. Now that's nanotargeting. They may have even  come up with the formula for separating your heart from your brain on fiscal matters and social concerns. And if you think you can fool them into thinking one way while you plan to go the other way, they know that too. They know your waist size, shoe size and hat size, even if you've never worn a hat. Even if you don't know your hat size, they do. Just ask them if you need to buy a hat. They even know when you and your spouse were intimate. No matter how long ago that was. And they know the formula for becoming more interested again. Yes. They know all about you. But how in the world do they come by this information? They buy it. From your grocer, your favorite clothing store, the internet. Especially the internet. Even if you don't use the internet. What you buy on credit, even what you pay cash for. When you drive and where. But take heart. They mean no harm and they would never share this information with anyone. Well at least unless someone pays them for the information. You know, like a major donor. So demographics is a thing of the past. Demographics is 20th century. Nanotargeting is 21st century. There's only one thing that's got them worried. What comes next and will they be ahead of the curve or at least ahead of their opponent. What we need to worry about is that if they know this much now, will they need us at all, in the next technological advance? I mean, so far we've been relatively important to the electoral process. But make no mistake. They'd drop us like a cold date if they could.
