Entry: What Would Machiavelli Do? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_would_machiavelli_do1#18969 Post contents: "I’ve been thinking of writing in Cthulu. Lately I’m more inclined to pull the lever for my man, Borat." -- JZ We used to have T-shirts with Chthulu in a seer-sucker suit making the Nixon double-handed "V" signs which read, "Vote Chthulu, never choose the lesser evil." Seriously, though, the act of voting is an act of violence against those in your community as you are fundamentally only choosing who will be in charge of the property stolen via taxation. So, by extension, you are condoning the violence previously committed. How any Catholic can submit to this system I have no clue? Voting is not a right. Rights are inherent to individuals, handed down from their creators. Governments, created by those who have rights, can only have delegated powers and grant privileges. Voting is a privilege. Governments cannot grant rights as they have none to grant. Don't vote for any of them. Ron Paul is about the only approximately reasonable candidate around. If you don't want to vote for him, vote for yourself....after all it's your money. Ta, Sent at: 2008 08 30
