61. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ABOUT IT, Q?
Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 01:35 PM by Selwynn
That's what I'm asking.

I'm sick of bullshitting about it. What does it matter if my level of "indignation" about the 2000 elections meets with your approval or not? Who cares? What does it matter? I was robbed of my heritage? Well big deal. My "heritage" was robbed from me a long, long time ago bud - 2000 just stopped being discreet about it. Now instead of pretending I have a "real" choice in politics and not just the pro-choice and pro-life wing of the corporate party, the pretense was dropped. Heh, to be honest, you know, I'm kind of thankful for the honesty. At least no one was insulting my intelligence in 2000 by acting like it was a democratic election.

You keep acting like, because I disagree with you, I just don't get it. Well that's fine, but you also continue to not answer my simplest of questions. Talk is cheap, my friend. And I'm sick of talking about it. You show me how your righteous indignation about this, and every other pet issue you have is going to translate into

CHANGE

and I will get interested in a big hurry.

So I say to you again -- the 2000 elections were a disaster. I don't know the scope of the fraud, I don't know that will ever know for certain. But it is clear that the wrong person was elected into office. That seems abundantly clear to me. I don't consider this a revolutionary occurrence in politics but just another in a long string of corruption that has alienated politics from the people. So I accept all of that OK? I accepted it last time you posted it. I accepted it the last fifteen times other people posted it. And I tell others the truth whenever I can.

But big. fucking. deal. What is to be done about it? I want to see people like you spending as much time writing about PLANS for a BETTER AMERICA as you do writing about the past and how we should be so outraged and pissed off about it all. I am outraged. I am pissed off. I'm also running out of patience and hope. Do you have message for a better future? If not, I'm not interested.
