If you don't like my fire, then don't come around. Cuz I'm gonna burn one down...(ben harper)
What happened to the fighting spirit in America? The belief that if we don't like how our country is being run we have the authority to remove officials and change political order to suit how we want to be governed. Pretty sure that was a founding principle of our country. Fuck US government! Any governing body that calls itself democratic and run by the ppl and preach to other countries about the correct way to run their ppl, yet can beat any fighting spirit out of their own population deserves nothing more than being bound and treated at the mercy of those people. What's so impractical about literally letting the people run the damn country? Set up permanent polling places in every city or county. Every law introduced by senate will be voted on during a designated polling period for that issue. everyone that wants to vote on that specific issue has the opportunity to truly have a voice.
How often does any single person find a candidate/representative that is anything more than the most appropriate choice for them? A candidate that holds at least the same major views of the voter doesn't accurately represent any individual yet somehow ppl believe they can represent any sort of population with any sort of accuracy? Bullshit. They get power and lovvy for what they want. You're just lucky as a voter if you want something your candidate wants. Oxymoron: Selfless politician. It's all a dick-sizing competition to see who can get the most money/respect/power. Once voted does a representative EVER come to their home town to hold a town/county/state meeting to get feedback on what their ppl want? No, apparently whoever runs the most convincing campaign holds constant understanding of what their voters want. Fuck that. How many politicians don't break a law that would land a commoner in jail? I'd be willing to bet if we jailed 50% of those in power that deserved it we'd be left with a much different brand of people in government. POWER/MONEY=Freedom.
If we're granted inalienable rights then how can we be alienated from them? How does me smoking weed encroach on anyone else's right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? It seems the biggest violator of encroaching on these rights is by the government itself. Ironic. He who giveth may taketh away I guess. What a crock of shit. I guess we were also founded on hypocrisy too so I suppose there's not much else we could have developed into. I'm reminded now of George Carlin pointing out this country was founded by a group of slave owners who said All men are created equal. "This is what's called being stunningly, STUNNINGLY full of shit". Maybe a new topic but I have one of my own lyrics stuck in my head, "Wisdom doesn't come from age and experience, it comes when you put that diploma on your desk"
ahhhh what a rant
