To My American friends

[sparkindarkness]

At this point I'm supposed to encourage you all to vote. I'm not going to do that

I think it's everyone's duty to vote - but I also think it's everyone's duty to be informed and educated and then do their duty. If you are ill informed, or ignorant about the current election then I, for one, would prefer you didn't vote. An ignorant vote helps no-one.

If you are informed, diligent and care about your country and what is happening, you'll be voting any way. You don't need me to tell you.



And please, gods, remind us that most Americans ARE sane. Prove to the world that the era of Batshit Crazy is over.

Mhm. Agree.

Did you see my big, ranty-ranting-rant on my voting...experience (to put it kindly)?

[moondancerdrake.livejournal.com]

[kirylyn.livejournal.com]

I voted!!

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

It's in my own journal, which is F-locked.
If you're interested I can unlock it.

I'm making an assumption here, but from your icon, it appears you are from Florida?

If so, yay! Fellow Floridian!!

Sadness! :( I cannot edit my previous comment!

But I have a quote that applies to what you said:

Those who are unaware of the political world around them have no right to criticize or complain.

I'd be interested to see.

It's rather long and ranty, and I apologize ahead of time if it's not what you expected. It can be found here. Happy reading! :D

I'm doing my damndest.

I read it, and the comments, and thought it was beautiful. ::hugs::

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

*flattered*

Well thank you! *hugs back*

That was awfully sweet of you! <3 :D

And isn't it depressing that that is a pertinent prayer?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Aye aye :9 eventually :)

There are levels of insane:

starting at the low end:
Level 1) quaintly eccentric

moving through higher levels
5) a curious obsession
8) an onerous silly belief that is clung to
10) really dangerously insane - thinks can communicate with god

To the really insane
12) medically certifiable
15) A severe danger to self and others
20) Living in a completely different reality not even close to ours

To the really out there
1,000,000,000) Voted for Bush twice.

And largely victorious! (Those propositions stick in the craw, but the presidency was a win!)
