Sigh. well you know you can only do so much. the problem is that the media ( whoever has the most money, hear it again) controls much of who votes for who nowadays. for instance. for all the vegetables that make it their daily routine ( my parents, grandparents, and everyone else I know) to watch all the garbage on the TV, its their life! and the media influences them whether they want it to or not. Think about where you shop , what you drink, the cars you drive. and think about how many commercials you have seen abou them. its called .....gosh cant think of the word right now...but its wear you just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over again. eventually in the consumers mind whenever they think about a certain thing your product comes to mind because you have seen it so many times that you associate ..like Coors light when you think of beer. or Ikea when you think of furniture. its a media ploy. well combine that with elections and it makes for a media winning election. thats why elections are so different nowadays and things are so close nowadays. do your research and look at the history of elections. notice the leaders we used to have. Lincoln, Roosevelt, Reagan ( hahahah just seein if your payin attention, that was a joke) you know how they got elected??? some propoganda and newspaper distribution, yes. but mostly because ppl heard them and they were mesmerized by them,by what they said and what they said they could deliver for this country. then how they acted and delivered their promises for this country.these ppl left marks on history in such a manner that we will teach about it until our civilization comes to an end ( in about 10 years the things are going : ) ) unlike todays so called leaders who are known for their sex scandals and commercials. not by the sheer force of their character. the small voice called "the people" by which this country was founded on had been slowly choked to silence. Have any of you ever seen Vendetta???? the movie that just came out starring Yugo weaving?? If you havent, go watch it and you will see where our country is headed. so I stay away from it all. i dont watch TV. It truly will warp you. trust me. Go fishing or read a book. way better for your mind any how. Oh dont worry i dont complain about the government at all. i dont have enough money to have an opinion at all about any of that its all gonna do what its gonna do so how can i complain? its like complaining to God about sin! its just gonna be there..period. and no one can do anything about it. instead when your bllod starts to boil becAUSE SOME NINCOMPOOP mentioned bush and the war....walk outside....thank god you have 2 legs to walk your ass to your TV, walk around the block and make a difference in your community before you start tootin your horn about how i should vote. my vote does nothing for my community. but my actions will. you wanna gripe about voting but you dont recycle, or carpool to work, or give half your sandwhich to Blind Bob on the corner worried where his next meal is coming from, not the current president. or how about picking up other fishermans trash on the river? God forbid i dont vote, but i will be the first person to stop and give some poor kid a ride who is walking home in the pouring rain. i will be the first person to open the door for someone else before me. So the next time you want to point fingers and get offended remember what jesus said


" Let he who be with out sin cast the first stone"
