I get really tired when I hear the word "disenfranchised" anymore. It used to mean something, when African Americans and others weren't allowed to vote. Now it means that the stupid voters can't read a ballot properly to vote.

Or he couldn't find the polling place. Or he was speeding and got a ticket while driving there. Or he asked for a coffee with two sugars and a cream and got a coffee with two creams and a sugar.

When words no longer have any meaning it is sort of like Alice arguing with Humpty Dumpty.

I feel like Inigo Montoya sometimes.

Didn't a bunch of McDonald's restaurants get disenfranchised recently?
