They expect the rest of us to pull all the weight. I'm sick of it. Meanwhile I try to do my part as best I can, reminding Repukes to vote on WEDNESDAY. These people here are so damned stupid that several have taken me seriously and said, "Okay, thanks..."

Not voting is a mystery to me. How many adults can be that irresponsible?

We need to teach more civics in school and give students the idea they will be participating in self government.
