So we were talkin about mexican mary today and his idea that the US should be the world police and i think hes lookin at it the wrong way. a cop is someone that 'protects and serves' the people who pay taxes that pay his salary. so essentially the people pay for that cop to do his job. if we would get paid or some kind of compensation for being the world police that would be a different thing. another problem is that a cop could be called in for something dumb like a dead cat while a block up the street someones getting robbed and shot. we would have to pay attention to dumb things that arent our job and really none of our business. plus i think the fundamental idea that we cant properly police our own country means we shouldnt police the world. we would confiscate weapons from other countries and keep them like 'crooked cops' confiscate drugs and use them. but im no political major. i dont even vote. and that is because i dont follow politics. its not that i dont care, i just learned to sieve out bullshit when i hear it. thus i could listen to politicians talk all day and none of it would stick, so i dont bother. and because i dont follow, i shoulndt have any say in the elections. picking a politician or political party is like picking a religion. i think you have to thouroughly understand the philosophies involved and agree with them all to sign up. even if you believe 99% of something a politician says you would still be voting for that 1% you dont agree with. for example, say you like kerry. and you agree with everything he says (which never happens) but he says he likes abortion and you dont. you would still vote for kerry, which means you are voting for abortion which you dont like. and i know it is physially impossible for any humans to agree 100% but thats why i think we shouldnt govern each other sometimes. especially the most sneaky assholes ever. these are my political views which are exactly why i dont vote. and heres something distrubing i saw on MTV (as if i didnt hate it enough already) theres this guy, putting a premade grilled cheese in the toaster oven. then he says "during this time you could have registered to vote" or some such crap. then he burns the premade grilled cheese. thats ridiculous. if you are that dumb that you cant make regular girlled cheese, let alone premade grilled cheese you just set in an oven, then you should have absolutely no say in who the next most powerful man in the world would be. none. there was another commercial not too much later with some broad saying "i dont know what the reform party is, i dont know wat electoral college is, i dont know what senate does, but i know what george bush is doing is wrong and so im going to vote" no bitch. how do you have any idea what hes doing if you dont follow politics at all? you have no idea. you just heard some other hippie whinning about having to get a job and blaming it on bush and so you sided with him against the current president, which is no way to have a political outlook. you shouldnt vote. i think, to vote you have to pass a small test about the election, just pretty much a few questions about the candidates and their views. because if you cant answer them, then you dont truly know who youre voting for. and the idea of democracy is that we pick the people we want to be in office, which means you have to know whos running and what theyre saying. yes its your right to vote, but then its not your right to bitch about how bad everything is when the person YOU VOTED FOR is in office. people think that just because they have a right means they must act it out. yes rights are awesome, thats what makes our country so great, but we have to be logical with them. dont go buy a gun just because you have the right to. yes you have the right to free speech but you also have the god given right to be considerate so try to use both. we all have the right to be intelligent but i dont see everyone flocking to act out that one.
