I did not vote. Most certainly not. Most of the choices were insulting. When the menu is a medium shit sandwich and a large shit sandwich I skip the meal and look for another place to eat.
I did, however, donate to Rand Paul’s campaign because I hope he will be another Constitutionalist like his father. The bottom line for me is that the federal government is too powerful. I do not have any interest in a homogeneous nation ruled by centralized bureaucrats. I would much rather live in a country where my feet can vote up to 50 different times in one life. Choice folks, that is the only thing in life that really ends up being important. If you let some unknown make all your choices you deserve the shitty world you end up with. Ask a North Korean about that. Never mind, those people are about the most brainwashed fearful lemmings on the planet.
In any case, I look forward to seeing my man Rand vote against more federal interference in my private choice making activities. In the mean time, I am flexing my civil disobedience thought processes and working them out in case they need to be used.
The more we can keep choices in the hands of individuals, municipalities and states the happier I will be. While Rand Paul and I do not see eye to eye on everything I think he does represent a political school of thought I can grudgingly tolerate. My money was probably well spent. I will be watching and commenting from the sidelines.
In other political soapboxing, I can truly say I am disappointed that California’s attempt to decriminalize marijuana failed by a slim margin. Hell, I would vote to switch alcohol and marijuana in the roster order on the federal list of things they are smarter than we are about. Isn’t that right Nancy Pelosi you arrogant bag of mouth-wind?
