Elect to do things for yourself, this time . . .

don't look now, but the madness has begun. only ten more months until the rest of america decides who will be their figurehead. i am going to sit on the sidelines and laugh my way through this one.

i burned my voter's registration card yesteray. i wanted an odd ceremony to be involved, but i just saw it in my wallet and it started bugging me. i burned it in IHOP's parking lot. it felt good. hey, josh, i think there needs to be a "some rich white guy in '08" bumper sticker. maybe not until the two rich white guys are chosen, because it might seem sex/racist. its true, though, in the end we will have a "choice" between two guys who have no real idea what it means to be an average american.

i actually wore a tee-shirt on the fourth that had an american flag on it. it was a representation of an old picture of immigrants building rockefeller center. i actually like america. i like it for the fact that great things have happened here in spite of politicians. i have said many other places the reason i don't vote is that i'm sick of my vote being a target market. we vote for politicians, but its so much like oz. there are a billion little men behind the curtain that we aren't supposed to pay attention to. regardless of who i vote for, these little men decide the policy and get all the money. like i said, there are tons of great things going on here that they don't touch, so i celebrate that. its just not worth worrying about which rich white man is the figurehead.

hey, not to get all grammar policey, but this craw business is sticking in mine. the phrase "gets my craw" really doesn't make sense to me. a craw is either the crop of a small bird or a lower stomach of a small animal (i checked the dictionary). to have something "stick in one's craw" means to be irritated. if that's what's meant, you can use that phrase. its an amazing phrase, by the way. keep buggering on.

so, like . . . i just realized that i started this group on the fourth of july. completely unintentional, kids. believe it or not. i'm sure you might find it "ironic", but . . . you're wrong. on two points, possibly. one being that this just happened to be the day where i had enough time and boredom to finally do this the other being that, well, you should probably read the definition of irony, rather than taking for granted that the lexicon involves any kind of correct use of the word . . . ie: when you say "ironic" you probably mean "interesting coincidence". either way, the coincidence is unintentional. i can be a provocateur, sometimes . . . but not now.

Haha. Fourth of July means nothing to me. As do most politicians I know of... Now I'm all for blocking the vote, but how does one propose to do this in a country where it is illegal (and seen as irresponsible) not to do so? All comments, suggestions, anti-political tirades welcome.

About
Block the Vote is not a political movement. It is a group of non-voting people who have very serious ethical, moral, political, religious and otherwise important reasons for not voting. Block the Vote is a banner, under which all conscientious non-voters can distinguish themselves from those who do not vote out of apathy or laziness. Block the Vote is nothing more than a mass of people who wish to make the statement, "Apathy is not the only reason people don't vote. Some people are not represented by democracy. Those people choose to do things for themselves. I am one of those people." What Block the Vote hopes to be is a group of people willing to admit that they don't have all of the answers . . . but they do, finally, have an answer to Diddy's "Vote or Die" death threats.
