Sometimes I open my mouth and garbage spews forth. I think I should vote. I am registered. I do try to keep track of candidates and the issues. Truth is, (I think), I do not want to fall into a habit of complaining. I hear people at work and other places whine about Obama or Bush or whoever, or whine about the state of this nation and it disturbs me. I'm scared I might just start to complain about who is in office, or republicans or democrats. I do not want to go through this life complaining, I want to be happy no matter the situation,and so far that is what has governed me more than knowing I should vote.
I so much agree (hypocrite that I am because I know I do complain at times).
All the related cliches make so much sense:
Put up or shut up. Actions speak louder than words. Hack or pack.
I'm even at the point where I highly question the usefulness of protest and civil disobedience. Taking action, be it picking up trash off the beach, voting, spiking a tree or ramming an illegal whaling ship are all so much more effective.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
So apparently there's legislation being introduced to make it less annoying to vote in ny. How much you wanna bet it goes no where? I'm actually surprised that there's a level of voter suppression here. I didn't think it was like that, but I just read 3 different articles about it.
