Might as well get all this anitgovernment stuff out of me while I can. /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif Driving home from school a few minutes ago, listening to an FM talk radio show (97.1 Daminski and Doyle 3pm-7pm, they're funny guys). They had on a Michigan senator who wanted to ban the use of cell phones when driving. In and of itself, that was ridiculous enough to p1ss me off, but then he said...this is an exact phrase he used.....I kid you not, this is the EXACT phrase the senator, an official in our government, used, "...helping the people because they can not help themselves."................I felt like tearing my radio right out of the dash. If that comment didnt just infuriate you then you have no self-respect and deserved to be led wherever the hell they take you. Ridiculous.
See thats the problem, see how I said "they"? The government has overstepped their damn boundries so much that people refer to it as "they" as though it is some untouchable authority which we have no control over (which seemingly has become more and more true) We have no "real" people in our government. Just a bunch of rich old white men, who think that they know better than us common folk. They forget that they are there to serve and represent us! But instead they try to force upon us what they think we should believe!
They are born into wealth, they associate with the wealthy, they graduate law school, they go into political office, and we're stupid enough to vote for them. Democrats, republicans, republicans, democrats...whats the freaking difference? They all have their own personal agendas, they all have no clue what the true role of government should be, and they all think you're stupid. This stupid two party system is killing us, a choice between the lesser of two evils. And the media thinks this is all a damn game! Watch f*cking SUnday morning political talk shows..."Smith went to Boston before he went to Cleveland that will really hurt him in the polls","Johnson cancelled his speech in front of the NAACP, that will hurt his black vote","Jones ad campaign really helps him in the polls." WTF happened to the issues! This isnt a goddamn game, and if people really use media polls, TV commercials, and the geopgraphical route of their campaign trail to determine who they vote for then god help us all.
What can you do then? I ask myself this all the time. I say dont vote Republican or democrat period. Pick a third party (libertarian, whatever, it doesnt really matter, though its a good idea to educate yourself on some of the other parties) and vote for that third party. I guarangoddamntee that they wont win, but you've done your job and made a difference. My point is that the TV networks and most media in general dont give other party's their fair air time (why? $, thats your answer). Stir some stuff up, vote for a "real" person.
Sh1t p1sses me off so damn much that I damn near want to dedicate my life to getting into goverment and ousting these useless pussbags. But I'd rather enjoy my short, meaningless 80 years on this planet, seeing as I couldnt make a difference anyway.
