unimpressed
42% voter turn out for the Provincial Elections last night, the lowest in the province's history.
If you don't like the Tories and didn't bother to vote, I don't want to hear you complaining about a single damned thing. Not. A. Thing.

The Blue Rinse club votes, religiously. they feel it's their right, their responsibility, their privelege. The Baby Boomers know first-hand how important it is to vote, to be heard, to be that single grain of rice. I'm not sure how this committment to performing your civic duty has become something *my* generation in particular seems so freakin' blase about, especially since we are the ones who will have to clean up or continue whatever our intrepid leaders put into play for us lest we leave our kids and elders without education and health care.
I'm not down with the Tories personally either, but I have some very nice friends who, bless their little hearts, are. I try and be the bigger person about it. HAHAH!!!
1980 - Quebec Separation Referendum failed by only a 10% margin.
1916 - Manitoba was the first province to allow women to vote. That's only 92 years ago. My neighbour is 95.
1929 - Canadian women became "persons" in 1929. My mother was not a person until she was a year old.
2008 - Women still can't vote in Saudi Arabia.
1994 - Black women in South Africa finally got the vote. White women have been allowed to vote since 1930.
I could go on and on but I think I've made my point. All you dumbasses who don't vote deserve what you get but don't take the rest of us down with you.
Here, here, Babzy!!!
