One more election year is in the process of passing us by, and one more year of those damn "Get out and vote!" messages come out of the woodwork. The reasoning is simple: we have a voter turnout rate of less than 50%. Society sees this as a bad thing.
Why? Why should we be concerned that only half of the idiots in our country vote? Where's the tragidy? Hell, if you don't care enough to participate in the democratic process, fuck you! You're vote was probably stupid in the first place.
The only reason America has survived this long is because the stupid people DIDN'T vote, and continue not to. Remember, this is the society that banned litericy tests for voting. Admiditedly, thay had a discriminitory effect back in the 50's & 60's but we no longer have "colored schools" so litericy is a fair requirment, I think.
Hell, even with less than half of vAmericans voting, we still have idiots voting! Infact, in Florida, there's a demand for a revote because they "Accidently" voted for Buchannan instead of Gore. They "mis-voted". I've heard statements and sound-bytes to the effect of "Buchannan was in the spot where I thought Gore was supoosed to be" Dumbass!!! Hey, didn't you read your fucking ballot? See, "Gore" starts with a "G", Buchannan starts with a "B" (like bigot, braindead, and bullshit-er). See, 19,000 reason to reinstate litericy test.
Hell, Gore got more votes, but lost the electoral college. So, if the college votes as thier states dictate, Bush won an upopular presidency. Imagine, if 2,000 idiots hadn't voted, this mess would have been avoided!
That's not the worst of it. Missouri has a dead Senator! The enlightened, well-read folks in the Gateway state decided thet a dead man should represent them. Shit, that's as bad as Minnisotians voting a fucking wrestler in to Governership (oh, you're creating a new party? Hey, good luck...)
The "new generation" isn't giving me much hope. Hell, if there were 100% voter turnout, Britney Spears would be a senator and Puff Daddy would be our next president. Stone Cold Steve Austin and a Backstreet Boy doing some kind of Gong-show format debate. Meet the press on MTV. All the while, myself and those like me (namely, the intelligent if not bitter, populous who can string together a thought or two) would flee to Brittian, oust the fucking queen and her inbred dumbass kids and start our foggy, bleak utopia...
I say "Fuck democracy!" The will of the people means that the will of the stupid cattle-people outwieght intelligent, thought out people like us. Popularity means the ability to control. That's contry to the idea behind free rule. Electing the man who best tells you what to think? The only way a democracy would work is to get a few hundred or so intelligent people and have a true democracy. All bills and policies needing to be approved directly by the people. No lobbyists, no politicians, no ad campaigns, just intelligent people making inteliigent dicisions of intelligent matters.
Alas, we have America. And what we need a dictator. Someone to command the people to think. I think we had a chance at a "people run" society, and we squandered it in a flash of VH-1 and Tommy Hilfiger T-Shirts (quick note to those freindly black people who wear his stuff. He hates you, and thinks you don't deserve to wear his clothes!)
