"The Ballot box"Hey, TGCY! Let me tell you a story. Back in the 80s my parents (great people but adamant Democrats no doubt), especially my Mom, were complaining vehemently about Republicans and especially Ronald Reagan. Well, as you well know, you can't use reason to sway Democrats! ;-) I finally asked them, "well who did you vote for, then?" Mom said they didn't vote. So I told her, "Then if you didn't bother to vote, why are you complaining?" Open mouth, insert foot, they started voting! They voted for every Democrat in sight, including bill clintoon. OUCH! So what did I have then? Democrat VOTING parents that STILL complained! LOL!
I'm glad you included that.
It never ceases to amaze me that the number of people who actually vote is so low,
but the number of people who complain is always much higher.
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics
is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." PLATO
And STILL we ended up being governed by our inferior for eight years - bill clintoon. . .
