Welcome to IWETHEY!

New OK then.. what % of the plurality: the non-voters?
New even larger :(
there is a huge group who depend on friends, co-workers and gossip to base political decisions on. The dont vote have only the barest of ideas on how the world works and never read a paper or watch the news. This is the group of people we are responsible for.
thanx,
bill
questions, help? [link|mailto:pappas@catholic.org|email pappas at catholic.org]
New I see only one solution, then.
Sterility. Water supply. Let planet try to regenerate.. somehow. If it isn't already irreversible [??]

DNA will come up with something more copacetic.
Be Patient.
New No, Je refuse!!! we are responsable for our fellow man
If we know a small inkling to better the common man we must propagate as needed. If people think we are strange and stupid so be it. Rand might find La Famiglia unwilling to listen, I will find Sharon will ignore me and you will be written off as that demagogue from Ktown, but at least WE TRIED!!!! Our only condemnation can be "we didnt try hard enough" That actually is faint praise as the sheeple finally understand that Manson was not an abberation but a model for government's to follow.
thanx,

I'm gonna go build my own theme park! With Blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the park!

Well, I don't vote much for a very different reason, really. Partly because my father always "made" me vote (i.e. put enough pressure and hassle on me so I would) the way he wanted me to for years. Thus, when I got out from under his thumb, I was really green about politics. I had only voted this way because, "Dad said it was the right thing."

So when I voted in the last political election, I had John sit down with me and help me understand the platform a little, and determine if indeed the party I chose to vote for (which turned out to be the party Dad approves of), was indeed standing for something I believed in and understood. I'm happy to say that when I finally voted then, I voted based on knowledge, not on past behavior.

But honestly, I get swamped trying to understand 99% of the political stuff, so I only make the effort on major elections. Maybe that makes me a bad person in some people's eyes, but to each their own, I say.

It also doesn't help that when I do vote, I tend to almost pass out sometimes in the crowded room, because a) I'm in a crowded room which makes me highly nervous, (crowd claustrophobia), b) I have to stand a long long time, which tends to make me dizzy in any stuffy room, (I took water last time and my little hand water bottle-fan), and c) I don't even know how to vote well and had to get help every time I have.

I don't know if I have enough medical basis to be given a "disability" treatment at the polls, and I've never pursued it, but I did almost pass out in that room despite my water and fan, and they were very worried about it.
