Sorry, dictatorship wasn't the right word -- Totalitarianism is, though, and the US has been heading down that path since the 20th century.Originally Posted by Master Rudy
I'm not talking about one vote. I am talking about the act of voting. Voting has not pushed us towards freedom at all, and I can think of many times where it has done the opposite.If you say voting does not change a thing again then be sure to remind me to look for that list of all the times one vote did make a difference.
Let me tell you why I have my sig as such; to vote means you accept and legitimize the system. I don't accept the system, nor do I consider it legitimate, so I don't vote.Forgive me if I seem to be like an ass but while I do feel people are allowed to have their own opinions I cannot respect the opinions and rants of people who do not go out and vote. If something in this country pisses you off then do something about it. Your vote could be the one that makes a difference ^_~
Listen -- there is no way to vote ourselves out of this mess whatsoever.
And, Zero, Bush is not the problem, so don't think the US has magically descended into hell in the last few years; the descent started long ago.
