Speak Out!

Sometimes things need to be said

OMG USA… VOTE!

by mat ~ October 2nd, 2008

This is the message that countless United States citizens are sending across their country.  The entertainment & music industry, the sports fraternity, leaders of countries are asking for the US citizens to get out there & make a difference. Google has also been helping by pushing the message home through YouTube & 2008 US Voter Info.

“There’s a lot of buzz about turnout this year, but one in four Americans still aren’t registered to vote,” Google said on its website, citing US Census data.

Why?

The simple reason is, if you don’t take the effort to have a say in how your country is run, then you don’t deserve the privilege of complaining.  Yeah, yeah, don’t get up in arms about how little your vote counts, or how there is no one you want to vote for, or even your lack of faith in anything politically motivated.  These are lame ass excuses reserved for those that think it is better to sit back & whinge that it is to get out there and make a difference.  So what if the person you vote for doesn’t get in!  It’s already happened hasn’t it!

Al Gore never took his rightful place at the helm of the world’s most powerful country.  George Bush did.  All those people that voted for Gore got duped, and the voters could be thinking “why bother”.  You bother because we would have never known that Al Gore was the preferred choice.  We do now.  Now think about the outcome of that election if everyone had registered and voted.  How different would the last 8 years have been?  Think about it…. did you vote?

As much as I respect Al Gore & admire his work, I have no idea if he would have made a better president.  But if more people had voted, the US would have had a better indication to decide on after the Florida debacle.

Voting is compulsory in Australia where I hail from.  You don’t vote you get fined.  While some may find this a violations of our rights, I’ve never seen it as such.  As long as I vote I know that I have had my say.  Even a donkey vote (an invalid vote) is a ‘voice’.  For many years I voted “none of the above”.  The votes mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I had my say.  As the years went on I found candidates I wanted running my country (not the idiot now, but that’s another story!), so my votes were put to good use.

Voting isn’t hard.  It’s your voice.  It’s your country.  It’s your children.  It’s your family.  It’s your career & education.  IT’S YOUR OBLIGATION!

But as the video’s say…. REGISTER FIRST!  No point in taking the effort to go to vote & you haven’t registered.  It ends soon.  REGISTER NOW!

Who should the bars really be for?

by mat ~ September 7th, 2008

I’ve travelled to some pretty interesting parts of the world, and often been dismayed at how society has evolved.  However, I derive pleasure in the secure knowledge that my tiny little pocket of the south west of Western Australia was immune to the scurges of society.  Aparently not.

Lately I have been noticing more and more schools are being fit with huge fences & barbed wire.  Large gates consisting of speared star pickets greet the children as they come to school.   From the inside it looks more like a prison yard.

Don’t mistaken me for someone who doesn’t know the drill regarding protecting the children.  I know full well why they are there.  To protect property & children.

However………..

You should really be behind the bars?  The little assholes that make this kind of thing necessary?  Or the children?

You got to be fucking kidding me that our children have to be subjected to bars & roller shutters on their homes, and are getting greeted at school by them.  What kind of mindset is this setting for our children?  Is this the sign that if its not protected it’s fair game kids?  Is this what we have already done with many of our other security practices?

I’m jack shit of it.  Start getting this bloody legal system working properly & not letting thugs get away with this thuggery.  Pump more money into our police & emergency services instead of compensating crooks who get off on technicalities.
