I'm Am So Weary Of The LCD Voter... [View all]

Remember math ???

The lowest common denominator ???

I do not think I am better than these people... I think that people that think that they are better than other people, are automatically disqualified for the very fact that they think that way. You may be better AT SOME THING than another, but you are NOT holistically a better human being.

And I would fight with all my might (unlike the GOP) to make sure that ALL people who have the basic qualifications to vote (a breathing citizen at the age of 18 years old) TO VOTE!

Hell... I'd change the rules, if I could, and make election day a four day weekend ending on Tuesday.

But...

I am bone-tired, and red-eyed weary, of having to argue and outvote some of the least curious and most uninformed people that are some of my fellow citizens.

I could show you a hundred videos and a thousand quotes to underline what I'm talking about... Just watch an episode of Jay Leno's 'Jay-Walking' and you'll see what I mean.

And the frustration bubbles up because THEY HAVE NOT A CLUE...

And further frustrating... is wondering what can be done.

And I really do not know...

AND... they are being lied to and misled.

But for those of us...

Who tried to get something out of school...

Who actually read and maybe even write on a regular basis...

Who might have ACTUALLY had to try and raise a family... make a budget... care for the kids mental and physical health...

For those of us who've worked hard at our jobs... and those of us that took the risk of putting their money into starting their own businesses...

For those that have had medical issues... physical OR mental..

For those that have lost a child, a parent, a friend or a colleague...

For those who are being bullied, oppressed or marginalized...

For those who are being ignored, threatened, or abused...

And for a thousand other reasons that we could come up with here...

We rely on the GOVERNMENT because WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT !!!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


IOW - We REALLY DO rely on one another.

So PLEASE... Please... Vote that way.
