Elections, Part 7

Well, it's over now and the Democrats have won. While I wasn't really rooting for them, I was glad the Republicans lost, because they deserved it, just as the Democrats deserved it in 1994. Actually, as I said before, all the incumbents except Ron Paul deserved to lose. The Democrats are not the solution to our problems and this election did not change the direction of this country at all. When government is the problem, sort of like a disease, replacing its agents is like deciding whether to acquire pneumonia or tuberculosis. Maybe you shouldn't pick a disease. I feel great about not voting yesterday. A girl asked me, "Are you planning to vote tonight?" "No." "Are you registered to vote?" "No." I didn't feel bad , either. Why become part of the problem? A crappy government is not my fault, but rather the fault of those who voted for it. Why become part of the struggle to control the liberty and property of others? One of the problems with our elections is that Americans are incredibly selfish. They respect nobody's property. The politicians that get the most federal tax dollars (taken from other people of course) get re-elected. I read about Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl saying how Bob Casey would be good for Pittsburgh because he would bring in more federal tax dollars (stolen from others at gunpoint) for Pittsburgh. What a jerk! That's part of why we have so many fiscal problems. Everybody wants the tax money stolen from other people for their area and for their entitlements, without any regard as to how this affects their children or any other taxpayers or the economy or the value of our currency. This is what we call "pork," a euphemism for booty plundered by certain privateers who are more powerful than others. But enough with this. Elections are done, and now I no longer feel the need to write about them.
Life, liberty,and property for all!
