Elections are coming and we are supposed to declare our party choice for reasons that escape me. The party has rights, is hardly the answer as far as I’m concerned. I have rights and my right is to tell you it is none of your business as to who I vote for and you damned well know it.
Election year, leap year one extra day to listen to bull shit and hope that your vote counts for something. With the way gerrymandering has been used to give one party the upper hand it does not seem that winning the popular vote means much when the rich don’t want it to. Is our system perfect, not by a long shot, but it is better than not having a voice at all.
We need to find a way to take back the right of the people to have a 4th component to our government that has the power to get rid of bad apples. That component is the people and if you believe that no member of government will care about that then keep in mind that the component we are talking about very often contains the mothers of the people sitting in power and none of them want to offend their mothers.
It is time to take the reins of power back and put them in the hands of people that have the best intentions for the nation at heart. We need not listen to the self indulgent overly nosey people that populate the office that are supposed to serve the people.
Take, for example, filling out a survey and they ask about your race. Human is not enough they need more and if you are of Hispanic background they can get down to which side of the mountain on the south coast of wherever you came from. They don’t ask for such details if you are European, German, or French or Swiss or any of those, or African or American, do you come from New York or Arizona, no that is of no interest but from Spain, Nosey to the max, why? Have you been asked for your blood type, sperm count, positon preferences or anything like that no.
Too much unnecessary information being asked for and far to much being given, time to stop. We need to get back to relevant and leave it at that
