Rev Roger, Year of the Rat #10: I'm Talking to YOU, Bubba.

Let Me make one thing perfectly clear.

When I talk about people who are too apathetic to give a shit about who runs the country, when I talk about people who can't be bothered to vote, or who are too cynical, too afraid to look insufficiently jaded to bother...I'm talking about you.

And you should know better, shouldn't you?  You are supposed to be the people that still give a damn enough to at least make the effort.  Did you vote in 2004?  Did you vote in this primary?  Are you a biped?  Do you have thumbs for chrissakes?  SHOW ME YOUR FUCKING THUMBS!

If you can't even be bothered to take the 2 hours every 4 years, then you may as well crawl back in the sty with the rest of the piggies, right?

Or were you waiting on someone else to come along and fix things while you pretended to be a radical because you post on a "radical" board?  Well, I have news for you, little piggies...the reason nobody is changing things is that everyone else is doing the same damn thing.  Waiting.

Well, let me tell you something:  The road to hell has an express lane, and it's jammed nut-to-butt with people like that.  Well, we'll CALL them people, even though they don't LOOK like real people or DRESS like real people or have the same FACIAL EXPRESSIONS as real people. 

And they believe everything the television tells them.  They believe that terrorists are lurking under their beds, waiting to kill them and make their children GAY.  They believe that the erosions of liberty and abuses of power will only be applied to swarthy foreigners.  They believe in the immaculate conception of (republican) presidents.

And when you point out the obvious, undeniable flaws in the our current idiot boy emperor, they agree, but then they start whimpering about their taxes (because wars don't cost money), and the fact that "there's just something about" the other guy that "they don't trust"...Because, of course, it's safer to allow yourself to be sodomized for sure, each and every day, for years, by a boar-pig than to take a chance with a guy who might sodomize you. 

They are, of course, fools...and when the day finally comes that they meet their maker, they will be herded to the left side and sent down the chute with welts all over them and puncture wounds all over their necks and they'll smash into the bottom of the pit where lawyers will hound them and cops will beat them and everyone worries and nobody laughs and it's never lunchtime and Friday is just another day and there's only Miller Lite to drink and there's no parking!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Or Kill Me.

HELL YES.

Doesn't matter. Putting MOAR votes into the system, regardless of how much thought is put into them, will cause MOAR Chaos and Lulz.

It never, ever, ever takes me that long to vote. It's figuring out what and who to vote FOR that takes up all the time, but usually filling in the little circles and putting the ballot in the envelope and then in the other envelope and finding a stamp only takes like, half an hour at most.

And if I don't think I know enough about an issue to vote on it, I don't.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I was trying to spontaneously combust.  It's harder than it sounds.

I got kind of warm for a minute, though.

So if I vote, will things get better?
Will they get worse slower than if I hadn't?

Ah, here's the cynicism I was talking about.

No, I was totally fucking joking.  If you blissfully ignore the process that decides who runs the nation you live in, everything will be just fine, and you can show all your friends how jaded you are.
