I am wearing socks
Ugh...I know I talked a lot of politics, but ... voting is such a pain. I think I've done enough by posting my views here - why ask me to show up at some stupid school down the street? I mean, I have to go to work, the gym, get food, drink/smoke - and really they all suck anyway and nothing is ever going to change. Also, no matter who you vote for unless you do a 3rd party you have to vote for some old white guy. I want to vote Obama-Palin because they're both young. It's just not worth it. Really, don't vote and don't tell me to vote - it's not your business. I don't need to fall into that stupid trap.
The funny thing is the election isn't going to create miracle cures whomever wins, both in the stupid election that everyone is talking about, and the little ones no one cares about - you know - for congress and local elections? If Obama wins, McCain people, guess what? Business as usual with some tiny modifications. If McCain wins, Obama people, business as usual with some tiny modifications.
I take back what I said/implied with my observation that the Obama signs on Wash blvd were all taken down and replaced with McCain - now all of the non-local signs were yoinked. I wish either side's supporters took the signs down after the election.
Being awake now means a long day later.
Don't vote. It's stupid.

were the wholesale rape of the bill of rights, the decimation of our country's international prestige, the criminal negligence of federal disaster response, or swelling of the top 1%'s bank accounts at the expense of the rest of us that followed the result of the 2000 election merely "business as usual with some tiny modifications" ?
voting is a responsibility of citizenship. a whole lot of people took the dirt nap quite a bit earlier than they needed to so that you and i would have the opportunity to exercise that responsibility. it's unfortunate that you dismiss such a thing so blithely.

No, not really. Shhh...come on now, you read my LJ, right? Dry, not always funny, but very dry.

How different would our country, our WORLD would have been if eight years ago the election turned out differently? How many lives in Iraq would be different...or saved? How different would our economy, energy usage, military usage be? Would we have found Bin Laden if our military and intelligence wasn't diverted?
Same stuff with just a little difference with either Bush or Gore? I think not. These elections matter. All of them.

You got the mall shooter thing...
Yes! Don't vote - Revolt !
Only violent revolution to overthrow the corrupt foundations of western society will bring about the fundamental change we seek.
Today, after I get off work, take care of my kid, and run some basic errands, I am going to get started on that revolution... if I have time. Sort of a busy day. It might have to be tomorrow.
