Do we really need to elect a president again this year? I'm voting, 'no.'

Actually, I'm not voting at all. I don't like any of the candidates. I don't want any of them to win. I don't want Bush to win. I don't want any of the Dems to win. I don't want any of the loser, idealist third-party candidates to win. I suggest that we go the next four years without a president. Come on now, we're a grown country, I think we can take care of ourselves for just a little while.

And, at the very least, we'd have one less reason for the Europeans to make fun of us.

I don't like any of the candidates because they're all so douchey. Bush seems to be doing everything as wrongly as he possibly can, all the time. The other candidates seem to have all adopted the ideology, 'Hey, there are a lot of problems. I will fix them all.' It's so fake. It's too fake. I can't handle that. I say, "No, thank you," to the whole thing. I also say...

...Here's to a presidentless America in 2004!

This would be the easiest thing in the history of politics to accomplish. On the Tuesday after the first Monday this November, do not vote. It is imperative that you, your friends, your parents, and your pets do not vote. If even one vote is tallied, this plan falls apart. But, we all know that the probability of anybody going out to vote is low enough that with a little encouragement, I'm certain it will be very easy to ensure that nobody in America votes this November, as long as we can get the word out to Alaska and Hawaii. Remember this motto :



That's all there is to it. No president, no vice president either. No douchebag politicians, for just four years. Kind of like a little test drive, to see if we like it. If not, we can go back to electing these pricks.

I'm not for anarchy, or anything like that, no. I like the idea of genuine leadership. I like it when things run smoothly, and that is impossible without someone or something to guide us. I say, for the next four years, in the absence of a federal government, let the states, and the smaller communities within this great country of ours, take care of themselves. No problem.

Democracies used to work so much better when the decisions were in the hands of small communities (I base this statement on nothing.) Now, the USA is a country of roughly 900 trillion people, and we have one person taking responsibility for all the country's decisions. Sounds like a bad idea to me.

If each community holds a nice little town meeting every now and again, they can quickly deduce their own needs without interference from the federal government. This would quash many of the needless bureaucratic disputes that plague niche areas across the country. The community allocates its tax dollars to its basest internal needs: police, education, health care, large stone walls for defense, and the like. No pork barrel nonsense. No corruption, because the leaders aren't hundreds of miles away in Washington; they're your neighbors.

Don't we all miss feeling a sense of community? I sure do. You and I can make it happen.

Convince everybody in America to not vote in 2004!
