Rewriting History

Voting... the last, desperate act of a desperate man.

Tomorrow is the single most important day in the history of this country. It is indeed the first day of the rest of our lives.

Tomorrow we find out if voting, our last thread of hope in this thing called democracy, is lost with the rest of it.

Look, i don't care if you are a republican (aka independent or libertarian now) or a democrat. If you are an american and don't vote, you don't get to talk about any issue in this country. That is my own NEW RULE. I have no time to discuss anything with you. Your opinion means shit to me. The right to vote is the real freedom (not just a word). People have marched, fought and died for centuries so that we could have a say in our lives. If you live here and you don't vote, you don't deserve to call yourself an American. You are the immigrant. Your mom accidentally dropped you here and you are just visiting.

Is that harsh? Yes. But if i had a dollar for every argument i've gotten sucked into only to find out that the jackass doesn't even vote... well it would probably be equal to all the dollars i'd have from republicans who, upon losing the argument, said to me, "well, i consider myself more of a libertarian anyway..."

Do I really think the electronic voting machine thing is going to come into play? I dunno. But if they are willing to do this...



i wouldn't put anything past them.

Vote. I don't know if it matters. Just try. One last time. Put the message in the bottle, and hope that it gets found.

PS. Put the contents of that bottle into some tuperware beforehand so that you can drink it tomorrow night... regardless of the outcome of said vote.
