I never will, but what if the powers that be make it McCain vs. Hillary? I'll have to hold my nose once again.
There was a time when elections were decided by the people. Now they're decided by multinational corporations who own media outlets that can swamp the liberal cities with whatever line will increase the profit margin.
We had an election here in Oregon yesterday. A large school district had a bond measure up for approval. But here such measures require a "super majority" to pass. That is, not only must the measure get over 50% of the vote but at least 50% of eligible voters must cast their ballots. The turnout was only about 41% and the measure failed.
I look ahead and try to see the possible choices I might have in November and again in two more years and I consider not even voting.
Time after time we're presented with a choice between Frick and Frack, between Tweedledum and Tweedledummer, between bad and worse. We step into the voting booth, holding our noses and vote for "the lesser of the two evils" knowing full well both are evil.
I don't think I want to play the game anymore. Regardless of my choice, it turns out to be bad. Even a lowly rat, chased through a maze expects a piece of cheese for his effors. Deny him his reward and he'll never even enter the maze. We must be dumber than that rat, 'cause we keep going back into the booth, going through the same motions year after year, expecting some new and different outcome and getting the same old shaft.
What's that definition of insanity again?
