Legal to vote
I may have mentioned several times that we are in the middle of a federal election. With that comes several critical things that you must do as a citizen. Someone mentioned that political campaign is actually a job interview although they fail to point out who is actually being interviewed. Remember those candidates want you to think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They go to great lengths to tell you how they know the solution to all problems. Probably they do not. Ask yourself if the candidates have ever had a real job before. No laughter here because we have people who have been on the sleeve as they say for decades. If someone says that he knows all the answers to the housing problems ask what he was doing ten years ago. You may notice that what he said then and what he says now are not equal. Anyhow today our voting cards came in the mail. Proof that our names are on a list somewheres. With that card I should be able to avoid giving proof of who I am. No DNA samples required. No need to find someone who knew my grandfather. Again I am not joking. People take the idea of voting to mean those that live here as a serious concept. And yes I qualify. When they finally get to the ballot box and find someone that can read the ballot for me I will be allowed to make a mark. And then I will go home and wait to see who I can blame for the next few years of discomfort. Remember if politicians did a wonderful job we would keep them around. And probably get a shirt with their name on it. Or their name on your wrist although I feel that is a step too far. But two weeks from now I will go over to the local centre and I will mark my choice. It will change very little in the reality of the situation but it is all that we have. Remember we have already tried the idea of having a king. See where that got us.
