An Enema at least Every 8 years

Ahhhhhh, wake up and smell Democracy!

I hope whomever reads this blog got out there and voted today. I did my research and I am heading down to Ye Olde Firehall in about ten minutes to do my civic duty. I haven't missed an election of any kind since I was 18 years old. A lot of people don't bother voting because, as one person I spoke with recently said, "I'm just a drop in the ocean so I'm not even going to bother." That's a great attitude you lazy ass, you just light up another bowl and keep on truckin!

Yes the country is fucked up in so many aspects that it boggles the mind to even begin and try to fix all the problems. Health care, abortion, Iraq, taxes, poverty, education, the list goes on and on. Do you know what is really wrong with this country? Well seeing as how this is my blog and I can say whatever I damn well please, I will tell you. It's apathy.

There are 305,571,000 living in the United States and too many of these people don't vote. Granted voter turnout has been increasing steadily over the past 2 decades and I applaud those of you who take the 5 minutes out of your 2nd Tuesday of November every 4 years to participate in democracy.

Now if I can just make it through the day without hearing "I decided to vote for the lesser of two evils." All politicians are morally responsible... until they get elected.
