lol since i abstain from voting im choosing for the current system to perpetuate? o noes! politics paradox.
the reason i dont vote is because i refuse to believe that voicing my opinion on what representative i believe will best serve my interests is going to make any difference in what policies get enacted in government.
i refuse to believe that solely my opinion is all that counts, and i refuse to lie to myself that it is simply voters who have the real say in government. it is not. it is interest groups, it is large business conglomorates, it is private collectives and it is definately not the common subjects of the government.
voting, my friend, is a little thing designed to comfort people so that they believe they can make a difference. a voter is a retarded carpenter given a hammer to nail down a plank of wood- and every time he strikes the hammer, someone moves that plank of wood so that he misses- and the voter, being as retarded as he is, assumes that there must be something wrong with the hammer.
