Awesome awesome show guys!
Keith, I hate saying this out loud because I know I will get bashed repeatedly, but I am with you on the not voting thing. I haven't voted since the 2000 election and I sincerely believe that voting only perpetuates the belief that there is actually a choice between this retarded shitbag or that (PS all retarded people, I sincerely apologize for in any way associating you with these idiots running for president-- at least you have an excuse.)
I have lost friends over not voting and I have seen the way the media (especially MTV, etc. portrays voting as the "cool" thing to do, pushing it with celebrity youth, admonishing those who don't vote and insisting everyone votes-- Vote, vote vote vote....
I have tried to have open conversation about this and have actually lost friends over this issue. They say "People died for your right to vote!" I say "And for my right to not vote." I am tired of the masses who believe that those who don't vote are lazy or uneducated, when in truth there is a pretty large percentage of people who "actively?" don't vote for the same reasons I don't. Simply put, I refuse to participate in a game where everyone's cheating.
As for presidential elections, shouldn't we really be saying "Wow, these candidates are so smart, so aware of what's going on, and have such amazing character and strength that I can't decide because they are all so good?" For fuck's sake we're supposed to be choosing the person who is going to represent and lead the most powerful country in the world. It's such a joke. I can't see how anyone can listen to these morons and then feel good about voting for any of them.
