Wulfie's Wurld

Everybody has the right to complain, but I find it hard to take people's criticisms seriously if they don't vote.

I can almost understand when people choose not vote because they don't like the choices they're given, but at that point I think it behooves that person to either find another alternative that he/she can get behind or step up and run themselves!

I have a friend who saves the ballot stub from every election. He has it laminated and carries it around with him, pulling it out and saying that *this* is his license to complain, and if others didn't vote, they have no cause for complaint.

BTW, Special Election day here.
 

Oh yeah, what's your take on the California ballot initiatives?
 

I didn't think anyone but us paid any attention to our local problems.

I read through each and every initiative. I read the "impartial analysis" for each. I read the pros and cons of each. I went back and read the initiatives again to see if the pros or the cons made valid points.

At that point, I can usually tell who's full of it and who isn't. In this case, both sides were full of it, and yet both sides made valid points. This suggested to me that the intiatives, whether a good idea or bad, were too full of holes to pass into law. I voted against them all.

I'm hoping that the defeat of Arnie's pets will send a message to him to stop playing politics and do the job we elected him for. We put him in because we were tired of the "good ole boy" Dems and Pubbies and wanted some new blood to get things done right. In one of the most remarkable turnarounds I've seen, he went from a moderate conservative, which is what this state could use right now, to yet another run-of-the-mill Neocon politician.
