Vote 1.
Dilbert.com - DNRC: " If there is one thing that our role models in this election have taught us, it's that omitting important information is completely different from lying. "
How true.
My issue today involves voting. I'm sick to death of people saying that there is no point in voting because our vote makes no difference. Would you please stop reminding us. We know but if we don't vote we get slapped with a $50 fine. In layman's terms, we loose two cases of VB.
Once every four years we spend half our Saturday standing in line waiting as some granny with no hearing and less eyesight searches through a massive book of names. Then in a total of fifteen seconds we are given a sheet of paper the size of Denmark (note the irony of voting for the Greens), write "1" in the top corner and spend another half hour attempting to fold it into a small enough size to fit into the polling box.
Our current MP is building a bus way along the highway from Parramatta to Liverpool. It's taken the better part of two years to build as they have, up till now, been doing the heavy construction early on Monday morning. This was a genius idea to miss the traffic and piss off the residents.
I live on the said highway and Sunday night between midnight and four is a time I like to enjoy. After a long weekend of sport and party's there is nothing better than getting two hours sleep before the jackhammers start.
But we are now close to election and I suspect that the Honorable Mr. C wants to show his worth by opening it next week, right before the polls open. So they have been working harder for the last two weeks. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday stretching on into Wednesday. By Thursday I had blood shot eyes and most of my blood had been replaced by coffee and Coke.
It hasn't been too bad for the last few days, the hammers have been put away and the levelers (THUMP, THUMP, THUMP) are parked at the depot. Though the line markers and sign posters like TripleM, loud, all night and all morning until it is time for the rest of us to rise.
Which brings us to my reasons for voting next week. I'm voting the most pro-gun party there is. I'll ask the dudes who stand out the front and shove little bits of paper in your face "What is your stance on guns?"
The one who answers along the lines of "We want every household to own anti-tank missiles." gets my preferences. If there is more than one party I'll go with the one who has the best WMD subsidy scheme for underprivileged families.
How true.
