"Free Speech is the right to yell 'Theater!' in a crowded fire." -Abbie Hoffman
The thought of Bush getting re-elected almost makes me want to vote for the first time in my life. But I never will, here's why.
First off, the system is fundamentally flawed, in todays age of technology, something better and more efficient could be done. Why not have Ballots done with Tax Returns. If you don't file, you don't vote. If you don't want to vote, you don't have to. I realize people say it should be anonymous - but I don't agree with that. If you can't be responsible for your political beliefs - maybe it's time you changed them. Back to my fundamentally flawed thing - the electoral college. Now I could be wrong about this - never really researched it, but as I have been told by lots of people this is how it works. People vote, votes are tallied, then a representative goes ahead and votes for our state. What is to stop this guy from voting the other way? I'm not saying it happens often, but surely - it does happen. Even if it never did - it could. It's a flaw in the system. One that should be fixed. If you owned a home, and there was a back door - you would have a lock on it wouldn't you. Same deal - the way I see it.
Bush strikes me as the dumb redneck war-monger type. I just haven't been impressed by him. Clinton got a blowjob in office, and played the sax - call me simple - but I was entertained. This is more reason for me not to vote. I don't care about politics much, not enough to pay attention. The way I see it - Plenty of other people are paying attention and voting. My one single voice/vote, is not going to sway the masses in my favor. Also - why should it, I don't think that my views on politcs should matter - just not a point of interest for me. I'm perfectly happy just paying taxes and living my life. Taxes suck, the more you make - the more you lose. But it keeps our country running, so it's a neccessary evil. I'd love not to pay taxes, but I see the good it does, and I also realize it's the law. When I must - I obey the law. Plus if I didn't pay taxes, I'd just waste the money on something else anyway. Not that big a deal. If they made it the law to vote - then I would vote. I'd probably vote independant every year, but I would vote. If it came down between Democrat and Republican, I would just vote for the underdog. I'm just that kind of guy.
I'm gonna go do my laundry.
