In spite of the increasing dangers that we face as a society from communism, international socialism, fascism, Islamic extremeism, loss of cultural identity, outsourcing of blue collar jobs, a failing public school system, and moral degeneration and emasculation, many if not most people rather than face these problems head on choose to hide from these ugly realities by engaging in the mindless diversions of professional sports, fantasy based television and movie programming, conspicuous consumption, an over reliance on both legal and illegal drugs, and video games.
In the 2000 presidential election, only 51% of eligible voters exercised this precious francise that our forefathers fought and died upholding.
If there were approx. 250 million eligible voters and approx. 120 million votes cast, where do you get the 51% number?
I assume a media report?
Ahhh...
I stand corrected.
