So I've gotten some flack for my last post and I just have to clarify. I like to write. I like to rant and make shit up. I like fiction. Honestly, I don't give a rats ass that Bush won the election. And my vote didn't matter anyway (I voted for Nader--knowing that my states electoral votes would go to Kerry regardless).
But I enjoy watching riot videos. I enjoy protests--not to be in them but to see passion. So much of what I see is apathy. When shit happens and people get pissed, life is more interesting. Life has meaning only when we know we are dying. Everyone loves a good fight.
I mean, for crying out loud, read some more of my journal. I hope our political struggles get more chaotic. I hope we have adversity in our future. There's nothing I fear more than growing stagnant. Nobody seems to care unless they have an enemy. So, an enemy is necessary. Hell, I might have voted for Bush instead just to help speed up the process. What I'm saying is that I don't claim to be a good guy. I don't think I have all the right answers that are going to fix our world. What I do think is that our world needs to be pushed in order to survive; evolution didn't bring us where we are today from us sitting on our asses. I want the things I said to happen because, in history, those types of things have created passion. These things wake us up and give us meaning. Or at least they give me something to think about.
That's it. They lied. My vote didn't count. I had a mail-in ballot and they've declared the presidency before any of the mail-in ballots have been recieved. None of them counted. None of those votes matter. You don't matter.
And Kerry called in already to concede. Bullshit. You know what I want to see? I want to see someone dig up evidence that Kerry is in Bush's pocket. I want to see that he was the wrong bastard anyway. I want to see children screaming in the streets that they aren't going to have pencils or paper in school next year. I want to see a burst in the number of teenage girls getting pregnant, all because Bush is going to destroy Planned Parenthood's Take Charge program. I want to see those girls marching, chanting that their children aren't going to have a future. I want to see college students protesting that they won't recieve social-security ever. I want to see where the next bomb is going to be dropped. I want to see the faces of people who are waving Bush/Cheney '04 banners after their children don't have a place in America. Wait, those are all wealthy people holding those banners. They can do whatever they want--and your vote didn't count!
