Election Freakout.

Now I know there are lot's of you that have your nipples in a twist over the apparant "theft" of the Washington gubanatorial election.

Personally, I expect nothing less, because all elections in our supposed democracy are stolen.

All of them.
This one just happend to be barely nicked VS being a wide margin ripoff.
Thus it will ever be as long as money is the predominant factor in outcomes.

The very fact that we have an often used initiative process in this state is prima facie evidence of a corrupt process. We have it because we supposedly can't get out elected officials (or unelected for that matter) to do what we want. If an intiative passes, the majority of the post election effort goes to trying to figure out how to ignore or skirt them anyway. If the system weren't completely broken and corrupt, we wouldn't need an intiative process. Now the initiative process is corrupt as well.

Then we corrupt the intiative process itself, with finacial backing from out of state interests, corperations, and paid signature gatherers. The initiative process is often used by the majority to opress the minority. There are no checks and balances to the intiative process. And it has no proper place in a constitutional republic.

What we have in this state isn't even democracy light.

Call it something else. Greedocracy. Idiocracy. Eliteocracy. Make up your own. Do something, anything. Except perhaps vote. Voting is a waste of time generally speaking. You are given a vote for no other reason that to get you to shut up. The dirty little secret is that it seldom matters in the eventual outcome, which is how well, or how poorly you live. Why vote when you could spend the time buying a few boxes of ammo? Figuring out how best to take care of yourself and your own?

The degree to which you are angry or gleeful over today's court ruling is a measure of your own neurosis and detachment from reality.

Party on dude, becuase while you gyrate in the politcal cesspool, I'm going to go on living life my way.
