    Every right to complain...

    Wednesday, February 6, 2008, 03:13 AM [General]

    I didn't vote.
    I have every right to complain.

    After all, my hope isn't to try to put a better person in charge of the system. My hope is to totally destroy the system because it's destroying everything I hold dear, and has proven through the centuries to do nothing but, no matter who's in charge of it. I'm told that I have no right to complain if I don't go, don't stand in line, don't pull one of the two levers that perpetuates the illusion of choice. Well... where's the choice to not participate in this horrible system? Which lever gives me that? No, not just me leaving the system, but the system no longer owning and destroying everything all around me, so that if I do leave the system, I still have water to drink, air to breathe, trees and food and the ability and right to live without having to have someone's permission? There are no such levers. Therefore, there's nobody for me to vote for. Therefore, I don't vote, AND I've every right to complain. And my complaint is, there's nothing but an illusion of choice, it'll all get taken away from us no matter WHO is voted in, or how much they preach about supposed change, and nobody cares. The system itself needs to die before we all do. I'm gonna turn the tables on you...

    If you are not willing to revolt and overthrow that which is killing our freedom and our planet, you have no right to complain

    (See last post, after all.) I'll bet that'll piss off a lot of people. I expect some more unfriendings. But well, what do ya think I feel like when I keep getting told I don't have a right to complain when I don't pull a lever for either asshole who doesn't care? Not voting IS the only way for me to voice myself.

    Only just found this post and am amazed that it didn´t ruffle the feathers and generate some comments. Just proves that people prefer the illusion of a choice that the voting system creates.
    I´m with you 100% on this one - two party politics must go and the population wake up to the real choice; live the life you want or live someone elses idea of the life you should live.
    The only thing that niggles me about this philosophy is, does the same thing work in, say, Africa, where people are prepared to shed blood for the RIGHT to vote?
    Anyway, keep up the posts which make interesting reading.
