I guess it never ceases to amaze me.  I do understand being busy. I do understand not being involved with things. 

 

In the past few days, I have corresponded with those friends of mine, some of whom hold a college degree, and cannot spell simple words.  I am talking about a sentence like this...."so we wint up there and got them, than we wint to the movie"

 
I totally understand the occasional mistype.   Every computer on the face of the earth has a spell checker.

Interestingly enough,   we have the Greeks to thank for the vowels in our alphabet, which we are now starting to drop in the interest of speed and brevity of letters.

 

Not the alphabet itself, that was earliest semite slaves, who finally translated pictographs into letters, but the Greeks DID insert vowels.  It is possible to  write without vowels for the most part and that is what text message shorthand is about.

 

Except for the pronouns and nouns.  Those don't work too well without vowels.

 

My original point is not even a valid one, and I know that.  These writers are wonderful people, they are compassionate, smart, hard working, etc.  They just cannot spell.

 

totally change gears now.

 

I was at the karate center. The OWNER of the studio was there.....I asked "I saw a video bio of Mike Huckabee the other day, he was wearing a black belt and breaking boards in one segment...what do you think the chance of Huckabee being a fomer or current ATA member is......"

 

He looked at me and said "Who?"  I said "Mike Huckabee".  He said, shaking his head, "don't think I know him.."

 

I said, you know how the HOME OFFICE of ATA (American Taekwondo Association) is in Little Rock, Arkansas?   And he was right on that one..."YEP!"

 

I said "thats good.  He was the Governor of Arkansas."  he replied, "Oh".  I continued...."he is also running for President of the United States and just took the Iowa Caucuses by 34 % of the vote to finish in first place for the republicans." 

 

He said, "oh, I don't follow politics".   

 

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

IF, you don't participate in MY country, if, you do not care enough to select our LEADER, could you please just move somewhere else where people can decide your future without the approval of others.

 

My country is a DEMOCRACY and requires the input of it's people to work well.  I really don't care who is elected...I want the person elected by the majority......(okay, thats a lie, I do in fact care....but I want the process to go through to its logical conclusion.)

 

So, if you live in Democracy and are too stupid, or apathetic, or ignorant to vote, or just don't want to bother, then move to a third world country or a communist country where they will make all your decisions for you, stupid idiot.

 

Our country doesn't even require anything from you, except taxes, and you won't even get off your ass to decide if we will have a president or governor or senator who will raise, or lower taxes.

 

I even make my 18 year old vote.  I don't care WHO she votes for. But, she will vote.  She WILL participate in being an American. Every one of my children has each time they turn 18.

 

So piss off, all you non voters.  I don't want to hear you even talk. I don't want to hear your excuses. There simply AREN'T any. I don't care how tired you are, cranky, worn out, apathetic, angry, gay, straight, gender confused, agnostic, religious, whatF&^%$ing ever. 

 

If you cannot be bothered to vote, quit living in my country.
