VOTE NO

So anyway there I am driving on route 66 in the California desert when I spot a sign. It was a small sign nailed to a fence post. All it said was VOTE NO. That's it. VOTE NO. It was a very old sign and had been obviously nailed there many years ago. It didn't try to tell me what to vote no on. Just VOTE NO. This got me thinking, again. If your driving in the middle of the desert with a busted radio in you car you find you tend to think a lot. For example what if I did just vote no. No I don't want you to take another billion dollars from me in taxes. No I don't want you to force smokers to only smoke in steel incased containers and pay more money to do it (haven't we pushed smokers around enough). No I don't want to pay more money to repair roads and freeways. We're already paying extra billions in fuel taxes and DMV fees. Where the hell is all that money going. It's sure not going to the chopped up freeway that I drive. No I don't want you coming up with five thousand new laws that are suppose to protect me but only end up costing me more money in fines, fees and the loss of more personal freedom. And frankly at this point, no I don't want to vote for you when all you do is try to tell us how bad you think your challenger is, meanwhile you don't say a word on why you would be any better. I made it no secret when I started this blog that I'm aging. And aging fast. I find with age that I gain little in wisdom. Damn shame too. You'd think that at least as I got uglier and older I'd at least get smarter. But I'm afraid it isn't working that way. The thing I do have though is memory. And trust me. Everything politicians are saying now has all been said in the past. And with very little results. As always it comes down to give more money to us and we'll solve all your problems. Next the hope is we'll forget about past promises and give more money again to solve all our problems. Well Mr/Ms politician how about letting me keep my money and solve my own damn problems. So don't forget November 7th and VOTE NO. Now get the hell off my lawn!
