So, umm, who here brought the Petrolium Jelly?

Well, Once more I've delayed my weekly 4 more months. But hey, when the inspiration strikes, right? Anyways, I want to talk to y'all about this whole 'not voting' thing. Now, I know not voting seems like the perfect solution. You get to know you've stuck it to the man, the man you stuck it to doesn't get reelected, and of course, there's this warm and tingly feeling that you get from washing your hands of the stupid, shitty, fucked up system that we've all grown to know and hate.
Now, if this isn't you, skip down three past the next few lines. If it is you, then listen the fuck up:

VOTE YOU GODAMNED COCK SUCKING MOTHERFUCKERS! VOTE BECAUSE YOUR FUCKING LIVES DEPEND ON IT! VOTE BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T YOU'VE LOST! BY NOT VOTING, GUESS WHAT, YOU FUCKERS SUDDENLY LOSE ALL FUCKING STAKE IN THE FUCKING PROCESS AND WHILE THAT MAY SOUND FUCKING TERRIFFIC AT FIRST YOU LOSE OUT IN THE LONG RUN BECAUSE WHEN THE GODDAMNED DEMMIKRAT YOU DIDN'T VOTE AGAINST GETS INTO OFFICE AND TAKES YOUR FUCKING GUN, AND THE FUCKING GREEN PARTY FUCKER YOU DIDN'T VOTE AGAINST DECIDES YOUR SUV IS TOO MUCH EXCESS FOR THIS WORLD, AND WHEN THE GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING LIBERALS DECIDE YOU HAVE TO APOLOGIZE AND PAY 90% FUCKING TAXES SO SOME MOTHERFUCKING LAZY SLOB CAN MOVE HERE FROM MEXICO AND COLLECT SOCIAL SECURITY BECAUSE HE INJURED HIMSELF CLIMBING OVER THE FENCE, THEN YANNO WHAT? YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT! YOU DIDN'T VOTE! Voting is what keeps shit like this from happening! Voting is not a way to punish a rogue politician, voting is a way to reinforce the one that you agree with and agrees with you! Punishing the rogue dickhead is just a pleasent consequence of that action! Voting isn't about compramise! It's about taking your ideas and ideals and shoving them down everyone else's throat! THE FUCKING LIBERALS DO IT CONSTANTLY, and it WORKS for them. HELLOOOOO, IS THERE A LIGHTSWITCH IN THAT BRAIN OF YOURS!? CAN IT BE ANY FUCKING MORE OBVIOUS!?!?! IF THE FUCKING LIBERALS AND STATISTS CAN VOTE THEMSELVES IN, THEN WHY CAN'T THE CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERTARIANS VOTE THEMSELVES IN AND THE LIBERALS BACK OUT!? FUCK, WE'RE OVER 51% OF THE POPULATION, AT LEAST, SO WHY ARE WE HAVING SUCH A FUCKING HARD FUCKING TIME!?

You know what I think? I think the problems we have in this country is because people that don't vote turned the reigns of this country over to the people that do vote. I've been reading statistics, yes, scary thought, huh? But seriously, less than 50% of the voters turned out for the presidential election. That's a scary thought if you ponder what it leads to and where it comes from. But you see, not voting isn't the solution, shit you get the same effects if you vote third party, except you actually lend support where it's needed: With the party that you actually believe in.

That's actually quite a profound concept if you think about it. You have a demmikrat that you hate and a repulslikan that you hate, and then there's this third party, who supports you, your ideals, and your values. Now, knowing this, you'd probably love to have this candidate in office..but third parties are votes thrown away, are they not? Well, not really, you see, you agree with this party just like many others like you agree with this party, and many of those others don't know about this party's existance. As such, every vote that gets thrown to the party as they're discovered adds up and as such they eventually get a large enough percentage of votes to get heavy media attention, garnering them even more support. Now they have a fighting chance, and now your lesser of two evils turns into two evils and one good (For you and your like minded voter friends, that is.)

Now, if you have two evils and one good, who the hell are you gonna vote for? Exactly, suddenly this third party candidate is in office, and you know you effected political change. Sounds like a pipe dream doesn't it. Well, it is if it's just you. But get enough people who believe in your values and ideals and it's not a pipe dream, it's a water main, ready to flush out the system...and I suck, at the metaphor crap but you get my drift, right?

Now, to give an example. There's this thing, it's called the Free State Project. If you're a member of my family, you're probably rolling your eyes and going "Oh, dear God here it comes again", if you're not a member of my family, then listen up. The Free State Project is this group that is trying to take 20,000 people from wherever (And I'm talking 'around the world' type wherever) and move them to the state of New Hampshire in a way designed to effect political change. And yes, I am serious, look, here's their website: Free State Project. Some more statistics I've heard about involve the mass migration of Conservatives down to the south, leaving the northeast to the liberals. This is probably the worst political move the conservatives could make. Seriously. If you leave someone the land, they will rule it, and they will see their tactics as effective and spread. But before they spread they'll change the system in such a way to prohibit it from being retaken by the conservatives and libertarians. Putting it another way, they pull the political lever to 'statist' and then break it off. Right now, there are enough conservatives in the northeast to keep this from happening, and the Free State Project is attempting to show off how these southbound and southern conservatives can help out; not by retreating and living on the defensive, but by charging the statist threat head on and attempting to stop it dead or even turn it back before that lever gets busted permanantly statist.

I probably haven't even scratched the surface of this subject. Hell, I may even come back later and totally rewrite this post because I know it's not exactly Shakespeare. But maybe it'll mean something to enough people who have already a vague idea as to what I'm talking about that come the next election day evening the electorate won't be looking to each other saying: "So, umm, who here brought the Petrolium Jelly?" Because hopefully, this next election day we'll have senators, congressmen and other officials who support our country, and not some group of schmucks that desire to assrape our country.
