The US voting system seems breath takingly stupid to me and I can totally understand many people's decision not to vote. Like, that Electoral College set up has got to be the most fucked institution ever conceived.

We have compulsory voting Down Under but the rise in the informal vote has been significant in the past few elections. The choices available to us have been so godawfully bad that it's actually depressing.

The concept of government has been so comprehensively hijacked by big money and agressively ideological media that common sense and sound ideology will never get it's voice heard.

I've said it before - the era of Robocop styled (the whole Delta City corporate oligarchy) dystopia is upon us...

Is he saying "let's have a moment for the shooter?" or "Let's have a moment for the White House?"

He sounds high as shit. Damnit, why does it have to be in MY town?

So what if some of the "occupy wall st." people can't articulate the point well? Why does the movement bug K and Ch so much? Wealthy corporations and individuals use their wealth in corrupt ways to the detriment of fair govt. and a just world. It's a really tricky thing to fight in a tight laser beam. I always feel bad for the guests when K and Ch try to find every hole in the occupy movement. There is more going on in the occupy movement than Keith's unmoving assumptions would lead people to believe.

Still a big KatG fan, just bugged by them nagging the occupy guys.

I have no holes. I said I don't understand what it is.

But you won't explain it. You'll just talk condescendingly like you get so much more than I do.

You're actually the kind of person we were talking about that pretends they know things.

They can question everything, but I can't question what's going on?

You're not a nice person. You're a bully.

Rise above.

If you want to protest your crappy choices, you go scratch your ballot.
That is protest. Dont not vote.

No way! Unless occupy can change the way you guys are working down there, pretty sure I'm happy right where I am.
Not that we're perfect, but I'm pretty sure my health care beats yours
