Voting Place in My Home County - The Courthouse |
Today’s Assignment:
Start a Fight, and it needs to be 500 words! Well, Sign me Up!
I am over the age of
18 and am fully competent to make this declaration: I have burned my voter
registration card [and so should you]! I realized that politics in this country
is not only a joke, but also a great, great insult. If you want to know how I came
to that conclusion, read on.
I burned my voter
registration card because my government treats me more like an enemy than it
does those sworn to his demise [like terrorists, for example].
I burned my voter
registration card when I realized that government hated me more than it does known,
proven, life-long, dedicatee criminals. I burned my voter registration card
when I realized that the people who would have taken over government property [in
Oregon to be exact, a National Guard Armory], were being treated like guests.
This is the same government who randomly kills people just because they're
black and unarmed.
Before you decide,
let me ask you a question or two. Do you fully understand this whole business of
government? Do you really have some faith in the process? You do? Fine. But, if
you have any questions or doubts about your role as a voting citizen, tread
lightly.
It is my considered,
informed, historically-observed opinion that, No one even understands the process. Do you know what the Electoral
College is, where it is, or what it does. Why would anybody over 50 years old
even want to run for public office; much less a national public office.
What difference does
it make who’s president, when people are still living homeless on the street?
Who cares who's
president when crime still rises from day to day?
Who cares who is
making more money for their campaign when people are still unemployed?
I burned my voter
registration card.
I will never go to the polls again. I don't
care who votes or who runs, and neither should you.
Don't go to the
polls, and you won't have to worry about standing in line. Don't go to the
polls, and you won't have to complain about who didn't do something. Don’t go
to the polls and you won’t have to be turned away. Don’t go to the polls and
there won’t be any voter fraud. Don't go to the polls ever again and then the
idiot stupid hateful politicians will have to find something else to do.
Don’t listen to ‘if
you don’t vote, you can’t complain.’ That’s not true. You can complain plenty.
I know; I’ve done it for years. There are just too many problems for any one
single person to fix. There are millions of ‘voters’ in this country who could
offer simple, workable, ethical solutions to the problems created by
politicians while they are supposedly fixing everything.
Don't go to the
polls. Ever again.
