(no subject)
an entry i wrote in my other journal. something i thought i might post here too.
i tried to update earlier, and liveurinal was like, screw you. anyway. i called the city clerk of auburn hills and got them to send me a copy of my voter's registration. so now i really DO get to vote.
and i thought i'd share some news that not everyone seems to know. THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT.
i refuse to choose the lesser of two evils. i'm not wasting my vote. i'm using my vote how i want. it is a choice, you know. and if anyone is tired of only having "two candidates", then stand up for your rights as a voter, and vote for someone whose principals you truly believe in, not the lesser of two evils. the only way we're going to break the two party system IS to vote outside of it. no matter who wins this election (and i know it won't be who i vote for), we are in for another four years of unhappiness. i consider it throwing away my vote if i just vote towards the lesser of two evils, who i don't even AGREE with.
bush is a war monger, kerry is a pussy. bush sends jobs overseas, kerry OWNS factories overseas. bush wants to fight every damn nation and screw what the UN thinks. kerry wants to pull the troops out of iraq within 6 months, regardless of whether the country is stable, damn the consequences, and who cares about all those people in iraq, it's only our soldiers that matter.
it seems to me that people get really fanatical one way or the other, on both sides. if you're a kerry supporter, then you are hardcore. same as bush supporters. but i think so many people forget there IS a middle ground between these two phonies. and the only way to bring it to popularity is to make your vote COUNT. as in, vote for who you'd LIKE to see running this country, not the one that you think will make you suffer less.
and fyi - if i were to vote on the two party system, i'd vote bush anyway. not because i like him any more than kerry. but i DO work for a small business, and my income is directly effected by the business taxes. and for many other reasons i won't get into.
oh. and if anyone other than me knows who tetsu inoue is, i'm getting world reciever, an incredibly rare and out of print album. if you don't know who tetsu inoue is, he's an incredibly amazing downtempo artist.
