let the dead bury the dead

As it invariably does, the conversation at BeliefNet returned once more to the virtues of faux-democracy and the efficacy of voting. One correspondent suggested fines for those who neglect their civic duty, especially for those who don't vote and then "whine about government not working."

But I say What's the point of voting? (Except in local elections, of course.)

To do so is to participate in the moribund political system of a country that no longer exists.

RIP USA, impaled on the triple horns of endless war, endless debt, and the hallucination of endless growth.
