Postage, Privatisation and Politics

[Cirdan]

Well, I recently got a political tract in the mail. It was a from woman who'll be running in the parliamentary elections in my circonscription, urging me to vote for her. In it, she says all sorts of things, like who she's such a nice person (with a happy family of four kids and a husband) who wishes me a world of good, but also stuff about taking the country forwards and all the usual stuff which tells me she supports market liberalisation and privatisations. But you know what was funny? The tract was posted about three minute's walk away from where I live. It was entrusted to a private company, who then wasted time and ressources taking it about two hundred kilometres North, then bringing it back down and into my mailbox.


Needless to say, I won't be voting for her.

 

[Ingolifs]

Is she a libertarian?

Bloody libertarians.

Nope, centre-right.

 

[calandale]

Bloody radical centrists!

 

[Sir Saladin]

Bloody bastards! Hah Hah charade you are. (from the ancient Pink Floyd text).

 

[Hack McSlash]

Spam, beuocracy, and making **** up about how wonderful a person you are.....****, I'd vote for her.

She's a perfect example of the American way.

liberals: corrupt demagogues who's only good trait is not being conservative
progressives: sligtly less corrupt douchebags who want to regulate everything
libertarians: corrupt assholes, but they don't **** on the constitution, which is something

I hate everyone, I just go for the one I hate least

 

[Sir Saladin]

I don't waste my time voting because any good vote that I could make will be overwhelmed by an army of idiots or it is rigged so I just stay home and masturbate. I stole that from George Carlin, an old man lunatic but he was right.

 

[LavaLampMaster]

that's true

 

[Narcissus]

Great thinking like that might just be the reason we are in our current situation.

[Sir Saladin]

Exactly, our situation is critical so we need more guns and whiskey. And fresh horses.

there hasn't been a good armed rebellion in a while. Maybe Jefferson had a point.
"The tree of Liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Go join a nutcase militia

 

[Raz]

Why don't you go vote for her privatisations? All it will do is make you pay higher prices for (semi-)government facilities, I don't really see any harm in that!

Why not? I'm a nutcase that believes that freedom means doing what I want to do without being criminalized for it. I'm free as long as I don't smoke pot or have unpopular opinions? That isn't freedom when you can do what you want as long as you do what you are told to do. Being a sheep is easy. I'm not a militia guy and I never owned a gun in my life by the way, never robbed a bank.

Eh, thats alittle vague. What about when your 'wants' inflict serious harm upon others?

It is very simple, if someone likes getting stoned on PCP and kills someone or robs a liquor store they will be hanged after a fair trial.
