“Voting is just a suggestion box for the slaves.”
—George Carlin
Almost SIX YEARS AGO, ETPR published an article entitled “QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting.”
In that piece, the world’s movers and shakers were featured as they expressed their not-too-complimentary thoughts on VOTING–and those movers and shakers MOSTLY spoke for this writer.
Almost SIX YEARS after that original piece was posted, we now return to the subject of VOTING.
We will start off with a few questions for the reader (who, most probably, still clings tightly to the fable of voting because it makes him feel like he has some control over his life and because a man cannot be a slave if that man picks and chooses the leaders of his country. Right?).
1- Does the reader supposed that the electorate would have elected the steady parade of losers–particularly over the past 40 years or so–who have played the parts of our country’s ‘leaders’? Even assuming that the electorate is confused, deceived and terribly against its own interests (as reflected in the actions of the USA’s ‘leaders’ [ESPECIALLY since the mid-1980’s]), one would have to presume that the electorate would have gotten it right at least a FEW TIMES in that time span and would have voted for someone who represented the majority’s interests.
2- Why do all of the explanations for WHY our ‘leaders’ do the things they do receive HEAVY promotion in the media AFTER those leaders step in it?
3- IF voting really did allow the peons to pick their leaders, why does the reader suppose so many of the peons DO NOT VOTE? Are these people adverse to exercising control over those who tell them what to do?
4- Has the reader ever been told that “If he does not vote, he has no right to complain“? This is a fairly effective way to stop a great many non-voters from complaining.
5- When a reader has waxed eloquent about the ‘choice’ he voted for, has he ever been told, “Well, I just cancelled your vote because I voted for the other person“?
SURELY the terribly deceived–who believe they control the levers of power through their trudging to the voting booth and casting their ballot–have to give SOME thought to all of the doubters?
IF the reader spends a little thought on the project, can he come up with a BETTER system for the elites–who imagine they control the world–to announce the ‘winners’ and have the populace widely support those choices?
IF the reader spends a little MORE time on the matter, can he come up with a BETTER system than having THE MEDIA–which constantly monitors discontent among the citizenry–constantly WRITE about those sources of discontent? This is true when the media ‘leads the charge’ against a supposed ‘bad’ leader: when the media gets out in front of the discontented and directs that discontent onto a particularly ‘leader.’
It SHOULD be practically SELF-EVIDENT that VOTING is a clever, little story told to those who so desperately want to be part of the system; a story which allows those wannabees (who hunger for power and prestige themselves) to believe they exercise SOME power over the system to which they have willingly ceded CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES.
Another name for those who focus on regularly writing about politics might be the EXCUSE PRESS.
Another name for those who willingly invest their lives in the pretend world of electoral politics, might be the EXCUSE ELECTORATE.
“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
—Joseph Stalin, Soviet dictator (QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting)
DOES the reader believe all of the stories he was told in school about voting?
It is not YET too late: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
