Where Politicians Are Concerned, Apathy Is A Good First Step
By Bryce Martin

It would be humorous if not so tragic.

The fact that we can close post offices, parks, train stations, libraries, and numerous other facilities and programs that we actually have a use for and, in some, find joy, all in the name of not having the money to support them.

Yet, all that money it would take for us to keep those items and others operating is being spent a thousand times fold in billions and billions of dollars sent to countries where the money goes directly into the elite and the dictators' pockets and not to the people and the projects they were meant to aid. Billions more on totally useless, political boondoggles and on and on.

Kicking the bums out will do no good. More bums will just take their place, as always. Let's just not show up and vote. None of us. Sure, offices will be filled, by default if no other way. But that would serve as the warning.

The first warning.
