Voting

Last night I hung out with a friend I hadn’t seen in a year. She’s been living in NYC since June 2003. We’ll call her Cassie M. Wait, I mean, C. Maxton. (thank you principal Skinner)

CM is a really sharp gal. She was a HS friend of my sister’s but I don’t think they keep in touch much anymore. She was an ardent conservative in high school but has become more apolitical as she’s gotten older.

We were driving around last night and she mentioned that she didn’t know who she was going to vote for. That pretty much stunned me. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why ANYONE could be undecided right now. What more do you need to know about the candidates? If you are ignorant about them, its your own fault (which she freely admitted. At least she’s in touch w/ reality!). If you’re for oppressing minorities and exploiting the poor for the benefit of the wealthy, you vote Republican. If you want to turn the country into a commie state and tax everyone into the ground, you vote Democrat.

People who fall into this category, I’ve decided to stop helping w/ the issues. I’m just going to encourage them not to vote. I’ve become more comfortable with the idea of restricting the vote. I think if you miss voting in a presidential election, you shouldn’t be able to vote again, unless you can prove some kind of hardship presented you from voting. If people just don’t care, then I don’t want the morons voting. Stupid people voting puts our republic at risk.

I’m going to end up moving to the south, buying some hunting rifles and shooting anyone that steps on my property some day.

By the way, that stupid Burger King commercial is still on. I'll never eat there again unless they replace that golden freak with Kerri Walsh.
