I leave for work at 6 am. No biggie. My vote doesn't count whether I vote in the morning or afternoon. The repubs have the state so gerrymandered that they have a lock on the process. Still, again, I voted, so I am allowed to bitch.

Make that...
If you voted and you're guy/gal/issue won, you have no right to complain. If you picked the loser, then you can complain! Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

No.
If you vote, you're stating that the process is legitimate. It isn't. You participated in the effort to legitimize an illegitimate process. You've no right to complain. I disagreed with George about this for years, but now I see he was correct all along. |

You're being awfully binary tonight.
Democrats aren't pushing personhood amendments. There's an awful lot more to the law and civil society than what you're railing against tonight. Venting is fine and good, but have some perspective, Ok? Voting is vital. People died so that we would have the right to vote. Cheers, Scott. |

Oh, crud.
You're back on the "well, this side is fractionally less bad about {item1} so ignore all the other similarities.". It's not flying any more. The system needs MAJOR overhaul. And it won't happen from the inside. WE have to do it. It's going to be messy. "Religion, n.

Yes, things need to change.
They're not going to change by people staying home. Squeaky wheels and all that. Cheers, Scott. |
