Why not try to make some progress by at least voting for the better of the two... nothing is gonna be done by not voting..
such as Joe biden who was quoted saying "In order to learn Indian, all we need to do is walk in to a 7/11" or "My IQ is higher that yours." and this is the man that you people want to be the second most powerful man in the world
"It is all around you — the feudatory, the diocese, the corporation, the platoon, the sports club, the dance troupes, the rebel cell, the planning council, the prayer group… each with its master and servants, its host and parasites. And the swarms of alienating devices (including these very words!) tend eventually to be enlisted in the argument for a return to 'those better times.' I despair of teaching you other ways. You have square thoughts which resist circles. " - Leto II God Emperor Of Dune Always to be reminded of how simple and self centered all of us truly are. What is change, or a revolution? There is the breeding for contending leaders, and there is breeding for the idiots who follow one or the other. Rainbow family's, voters, visionaries, prophets, governments, etc. All the same thing, looking for a different comfort. Grow some food on a farm, be at one with nature, dont concern yourself with this nonsense. The only way to bring peace is to confront death. There is no such thing as a clean break. Which ever direction you take regarding government is a hole you dig for yourself anyway. Thank God Im a felon and my basic right of voting has been revoked. Now I can laugh at both the revolutionaries and the leaders to be struggling for power. Everyone get's so high from their own adrenaline and are blinded by immediate action and quick tongues. How can we be so stupid with even simple concepts such as Be Here Now? Historians are the dream harvesters of time and space.
i hardly follow elections and gov't mainly because i cant vote either way. but Obama in a way is just appeasing the terrorists(or whatever you want to call the opposition) when a few of the western leaders did that in WWII all it did was delay the inevitability of Hilter attacking them... although i have to say Hitler and the "terrorists" do differ though. Right now i would rather have McCain. but that just because id rather have a war monger in the time of war. I Dont Follow the elections at all so this is all just my opinion
because unfortunately.. not everyone is familiar with the Here and the Now.. not everybody understands that nothing is the greatest thing in the world.. no possession is the greatest possession... with nothing there is nothing to lose.. nothing to gain.. nothing to fear.. hate.. question.. NO THING
At least someone understands. What this government is going for, freedom and security. Well how can you have either if you desire one or the other? But not desiring either, you gain both! God Bless +
go ahead and vote. vote for the puppet. they already know who's going to be president. they don't care about your sheepish vote. they care about you voting though! hooray for the illusion!
The political ballot box stands for – willingness to be ruled by somebody other than yourself. – Alvin Lowi, Jr. If voting made a difference, they would make it illegal. – Donal Scannell, at the Conference on World Affairs, Boulder CO, 4/6/04
Intresting thought coming from 1) a person that can't vote and 2) a person who says they don't follow elections. I was listening to the DMC last night and they were talking about how we need to go over there and apply some diplomacy. Most of these terrorists that we are up against don't give a fuck about diplomacy. They think they are right in no other terms. Their only responce is unless you convert to Islam you are going to die. So how do you apply diplomacy to people who believe like that? As I said before I am going to watch this election very closely and I will vote for the lesser of two evils. Like I always have. I really want to believe in Obama but I feel that we need to protect ourselves from some of those people who want to kill us, well, just because we are Americans. Now mind you some will argue that if we were not such assholes overseas that people would not want to kill us so it's a catch 22. All I want to say to everyone is to keep an open mind, listen to both sides and make your own decision and not what other people are telling you. I have a best friend and girlfriend who are both very liberal and my father and family who are very republican. I get it from both sides but I would prefer to make my own decision. I should just vote for the green party just to piss them both off. Let's just say I feel more like a libertarain. You know what they say about libertarians, they are just republicans who like to smoke pot.
