Re: Does anyone see he obvious...
I'll leave argument alone. However, it is the obligation of our duly elected representatives to inform its constituency about matters such as this. If the politicians had ANY of the publics interest in mind, then each representative would have made sure it had an informed electorate. But they don't. They bask in the corrupted system that they themselves created. What a F***ing waste.
Don't blame the voters...blame the criminals running this enterprise, and all of the prostitutes that enable this to stand!

Re: Does anyone see the obvious...
And then there's the other whammy. If you are in the minority that really understands the questions, you get slammed by those who aren't because they want to run the show, not the elites, whoever they are.
So it comes down to who can dance the best. Ballet and ice skating are examples. The best dancers are smooth and make it look so easy. Yet we know it takes hard work and constant practice. Once you lose that edge, the best you can do is teach.
Or go do something else. There's always another dancer who looks good.

And no, I didn't vote for her. |

Here in California we're beyond bankrupt, facing 10.5% sales taxes, 200% increase in car taxes and you have a dumbass electorate voting for $20B ($10B+interest) for bullet trains no one will use. You think for a second that they won't believe the onslaught on cable and telco ads telling everyone that undoing franchise reform wouldn't be a "gov't power grab" or other such bullcrap? Voters are stupid. California Voters vote on a lot of stupid things. Of course, Obama will bail them out.

said by birdfeedr :.... So, yes, voters are stupid, but the questions *are* complicated. ALL questions are complicated to stupid voters. Questions are also complicated for ignorant voters.
with the stupid voters and the ignorant voters, you end up with laws and regulations they have no clue are bad for them as consumers.
as for the legislators, money makes them stupid, ignorant or both. |

Voters are stupid. If I typed the first sentence, GrammarCheck™ would have a fit, and of 100 people I asked that question as written, 60 would pretend I didn't say a thing and keep on walking because they parsed the grammar and concluded it was a waste of their time. 36 would say "Huh?", 2 would answer Yes, and 2 would answer No.
Of the 36, 52% would approve of "Change, whatever that is" and 46% would approve if it looked like I had legs enough to stand for a couple of more years without keeling over because they liked the color of my hair. The remaining 2% still remember Annette Funicello when she wore that funny looking hat on daytime TV.
Of the remaining 4, all would parse the grammar and half would get tripped up in the double negatives and vote for what they thought they heard, while the other half would sincerely understand what I asked.
So, yes, voters are stupid, but the questions *are* complicated. |
