ELEPHANT SAFARI: voting: one mouse vs rats

ELEPHANT SAFARI: JUST RAT HUNTING

WHAT WE SEE IS THE ELECTION, AND WE SEE MID-TERM AND WE SEE LAME DUCK.

WE SEE THE FAMOUS AMERICAN ELECTORATE DOWN 2% OR MORE IN VOTER REGISTRATIONS.

WE SEE COMPLACENT AMERICANS SAYING THEIR VOTE WON'T MATTER.

WE SEE dIbold. OUTSOURCE PRIVATIZED CORPORATE GOVERNMENT COUNTING THE VOTE UNDER SECRET RULES ONLY THEY CAN MAKE UP, PRECINCT BY PRECINCT.

WE SEE IN A VERY NARROW PERIPHORY. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD LOOKING AT US. THEY LOOSE HOPE FOR THEIR OWN CHANCE TO VOTE WHILE WE CAN VOTE AND DON'T.

those who don't vote have no advantage over those who cannot vote.

We can and won't vote, thinking it is rigged. It is being rigged, but it is harder to rig a complete electorate than a mere 26% of those elegible: it is hard to beat a heads-up team.

To look at it in another espejo, how can you expect only 26% of the voters to overcome the rigged count? Democracy requires a full vote where the voters must make their own mistakes if they elect the wrong Ayatolla or a Republican.

Democracy is the worst possible form of government--except for all the others.

VOTE, even if you vote wrong. Just VOTE.
