This was our generation's chance to be great.

This election is done. It's completely fucked now. Who do I blame? Bush? Hillary? Mccain? no.

I blame all of you people out there who decided that you just didn't care. I blame all of you who didn't want to spend half an hour of your precious time to go and do a little bit of research and figure out who the best candidate is and vote for them. You couldn't take just a fraction of time out of your myspace/facebook/livejournal time to just sit down and figure a few things out and contribute to the country in which you live.

I mean jesus, YOU LIVE HERE! YOU ARE PAYING HIGH GAS PRICES, WORKING AT INCREASINGLY SHITTIER AND SHITTIER JOBS, AND PROBABLY LIVING IN A COMMUNITY THAT IS GENERALLY PISSED OFF ABOUT THE DIRECTION THIS COUNTRY IS GOING IN.

but what? You probably aren't even registered to vote.

You bitch and you bitch but you don't want to give a small portion of your time that would normally be spent jacking off to contributing to our democracy and fixing these problems.

We got Hillary, Obama, Mccain, and Huckabee who now will be playing tennis with the country's votes for a while. Then, the a select two of those retards will be fighting for about half of the third of this country that gives a shit. We literally have the WORST candidates that we could possibly have, while the other ones who genuinely care about us suffer and drop out because they lack your support. They lack the support of the smartest people in this country who ironically are the ones who seem to care LESS than anyone else.

I donated over 100 dollars to Mike Gravel since this election started. Not because I thought my donation would make him win, but because I believed that soon after that, people would start to wake up and realize that we pretty much have one more chance to fix this shit. I thought that people would finally realize that if we stop bitching and start acting, we can get rid of all these special interests and other problems in the government that we only have because WE THE PEOPLE failed to be involved enough in our government to prevent them.

If the drug companies and oil companies ran the government in France like they do here, there would be about 100 million cigarette smoking french people storming the streets with signs, torches, and random blunt objects ready for a revolution. Germany, China, India, and all other civilized countries would do the same. Their governments have a healthy fear of their citizens. But what do we do? We sit here and let them walk all over us because a disgustingly large amount of us have been bought off by cell phones that make pancakes and we don't want to rock the goddamn boat.

If you are one of the people that don't give a shit, then quit complaining. You are now and will continue to be living in this world that you have created for yourself through your ignorance and laziness. Whats worse, since there's so many of you assholes, you also fucked it up for those of us that DO care.

This was our big opportunity to fix the problems our parents left for us. This was our generation's big chance to be great. Going, going, gone!
