In the spirit of this rant, I offer the following
George Carlin quotes on voting and the political
system we live in today.
Here is the one that inspired this article:
“I have solved this political dilemma in a very
direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay
home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have
no right to complain. Now, some people like to
twist that around. They say, ‘If you don’t vote, you
have no right to complain,’ but where’s the logic in
that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and
screw everything up, you are responsible for what
they have done. You voted them in. You caused
the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on
the other hand, who did not vote — who did not
even leave the house on Election Day — am in
no way responsible for that these politicians have
done and have every right to complain about the
mess that you created.”
As always, think for yourself, become your own
guru, wiseman, sage, and master.
And as the Ho'oponopono prayer says:
I Love You, I'm Sorry, Forgive Me, Thank You.

Political Quotes by George Carlin

“The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post ‘Thou
shalt not steal,’ ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery,’
and ‘Thou shalt not lie’ in a building full of lawyers,
judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work
environment.”
“In America, anyone can become president. That’s
the problem.”
“Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual
deception is being carried out.”
“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”
“If churches want to play the game of politics, let
them pay admission like everyone else.”
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of
Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of
them together is certain death.”
“Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters
fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They
never mention that part to us, do they?”
