I did my civic duty today. I went to the poll, held
my nose with one hand, and marked my 'X' with the other. Given the choices and
what they stand for, not to mention the distorted electoral system, it seems a
useless gesture; however, if you don't vote you are declining what so many
people have fought and died for.
Still, I feel as though I am merely going through
the motions in a play for which the ending has already been written. CEOs and
corporations get richer, the poor get kids, and the middle class gets the bill.
That won't stop me from commenting, however, so do drop by often.
