I always vote for Weird Al for President. I figure he couldn't do any
worse than the shit heads we have offered to us and at least he seems
intelligent (if weird) and decent. Besides having all new laws put to
music would make them easier for the common person to understand.

Really though I don't see voting as any option as long as the only options
are people who are in no way connected to my reality. On the city or
county level voting might work but by the state level there is to much
corporate money and special interests involved to get anyone voted in
that'd make any real changes for the common man.

I'd be really happy if we didn't have all these damn roads. Roads mean
jobs expect you to have a car or they won't hire you. If you have a car a
large chunk of your paycheck goes to pay for the car, it's fuel, repairs,
insurance, etc. Half the paycheck goes to pay for the fricken car. If you
walk a lot of people think you're insane. Not as bad in the city but
still.

If they hafta take 1/3rd my paycheck (more like 40% actually) I'd like
healthcare, housing, utilities, and food. If I had THOSE things I could
pay for toll roads I did want to use if I wanted to use them at all.

Don't dream it. Be it.

return.  Sounds a lot like these corporate pricks that had the books rigged to put a few more 
million in their pockets doesn't it?  And do you really think this 'corporate scandal swat team' is 
really going to find anything? Let me say this.  If the person that lined my pockets with gold came 
poking around looking for bad things he would more than likely look in the wrong places if he even 
looked at all.  I cant believe the bullshit that goes on in the media and the fact that the common 
person that makes less than $15 million a year cant do a damn thing about it.  You could protest 
and get arrested.  You could sit back and take it like everyone else also.  Or you could do like me 
and rant on and on like a blithering idiot with nothing better to do at 3:30 a.m.  Of course the 
government does do good things.  They build the shitty roads we drive on,  they provide us with 
crappy he!
al!
> th care, they take 1/3 of the money we make so they can talk for hours on the floor that has 
absolutely nothing to do with politics, they sit in their air-conditioned offices up on their hill 
getting rich by the policies that they pass, they smile, and get paid a decent salary still for it. 
 Even with their multi-million dollar buisnesses that support them as it is.    So the next time 
you go to the voting booth to cast your useless, miscounted vote.  Remember to write me in on the 
ballot for president and Jerry Springer for VP.  His popularity alone would be the sole driving 
force behind the campaign and as long as I wasnt assassinated due to my 'radical political views' 
We would surely get laughed at  So remember folks the next time your state person calls you asking 
your view on the subject (yeah right) that you would like to see most of the US goverment reformed 
to standards acceptable to everyone.  I've expressed my views to several people in the government.  
The fact!

that age they dont always make the brightest decisions but they do have some damn good ideas that 
might actually do something useful for the people in general, not that 10% of the population that 
controls 90% of the money.

Myself, and I may or may not hold the same views but only GWB can be held responsible and even this 
congress will just toss the motion out the window as some of it might actually makes sense.
