OT: Please Get Out And Vote!

[Guest guest]

Hi Anita,

Appreciate the thoughts .. and come to think on it .. the idea of

standing in line with a warm toddy for the body. ;-)

 

In America they close the bars on election day (used to anyway .. I

reckon they still do) which makes it easier for folks to get the winos

and street folks to the polls .. just give'em a bottle of Thunderbird or

Mad Jack and off they go. ;-)

 

Interesting post came to me last night from someone. Subject was about

whether or not folks with advanced Alzheimers and such should be allowed

to vote .. and truth is .. its not really been dealt with correctly but

there are some nursing homes that decide who does or doesn't get to fill

out an absentee ballot .. sorta defeats the democratic principles.

 

Some of those folks are smarter and clearer of mind than some folks

walking down the street in major cities. I heard a man on the street

reporter talking to some of those cats .. on radio while I was in the

USA. They were talking to the crowd in Times Square. One dude did not

know who was running against Bush but he was gonna vote for him anyway

because Bush helped plan 9/11 with Osama Yo Mama. ;-) This dude was not

an extreme example .. he was the average person they talked to that day.

The reporter told him the man running against Bush was named Kerney and

the dude said .. " Yea man .. I remember it now. " One feller was an

investment counselor .. he knew who was running and said he was going to

vote for Kerry (as most in New York City will do) but he could not give

the reporter any reasons why. Even so .. they can vote so I reckon the

unfortunate folks suffering from Alzheimers should be able to vote too

and that is an issue that needs to be dealt with at some point.
