Dear clown,
So shall we activate the National Guard during the next election and have them round up up voters at gunpoint and haul them to the polls?
What would you do if you didn't have something to bitch about?
Very convenient, however, for the politicians not to have to appeal to the whole of American society though, ain't it? Gee, I didn't think it was the job of politicians to organize private armies to drag people to the polls.
Actually, the way I figured it, the less informed and less intelligent were largely the ones who didn't vote.
So currently we get a bette class of voter than under whatever system you think we ought to have.
Where I am, state law requires an employer to give time off to vote. And polls are open to 8 PM. AND all you have to do to get an absentee ballot is request it, so you can vote several days in advance of the election.
However, I'm sure there must be someone we're screwing. According to you.
Pretty much. Ain't that the way it is? Well, no. We have term limits, too. Although I think you should be allowed to hold an office as long as people want you there. But we have term limits.
Ever stop to think the drug war keeps people down, disenfranchised, unparticipative, etc.? OH! I FORGOT! Those soldiers force them to take drugs when they're not voting, don't they?
Voting mostly during working hours certainly doesn't help poor folk much either. See above about time off. And 8 PM. And absentee ballots.
No. But I do think voting could be made much, much easier in America. Do you agree? Well, let's see. We can't do it over the internet. Fraud. And po fokes don't got 'puters. We could put the booths in trucks and have them come to you. For another quadrillion $$$. We could do it on Saturday. But then the same people won't vote because it inteferes with footbal, basketball, hockey, tennis, or just clearing the clogged kitchen sink drain.
I GOT IT! We'll just make Bush President-for-Life and be done with it. How's that?
But I suspect when it comes to going to war it's more a matter of appeasing that top 10 percent I believe the top 10% got an education about that during Vietnam.
the small farmer pretty much taken out. I agree. EVERYBODY has a God-given right to be a millionaire. You got any idea what it takes in land and equipmet to farm? I feel REALLY, REALLY sorry when I hear about them. About as sorry as I do for pro football and basketball players. And keeping those po fahmahs in business is about as fair as building those playgrounds for millionaires called stadiums with public money.
That's the trouble with you clowns. You can't recognize reality when it comes up and hits you in the head with a 2X4. |
