AN ELECTION ABOUT NOTHING? 30 October 1998

An election is at hand, and yet again, the vast majority will not vote. Just as they have shown a complete disinterest in the character of the President, they will Tuesday show a total lack of concern for the fate of their country. For them, this is the Seinfeld election: an election about nothing.
It is just as well that such nincompoops won't vote; and yet it is a sorry commentary on the state of our body politic that so few understand, that so few even care. Another fatal disaster just this month, this time in Taft, California, shows us again just why it is so tragic.
Perhaps they're not stupid. Perhaps their not nin-compoops, but rather you are for assigning any value to the entire process. It is a standard litany of conventional science to choose the lesser of two evils. Perhaps the lesser of two evils in this corrupted, Constitutionaly bereft system is *NOT TO PARTICIPATE*. Sine it obviously doesn't matter who wins, since the mighty spectre of compromise will dilute any real difference into a verbal shell game devoid of meaning. Maby deToquville (sorry for spelling - early morning) was right about mediocrity being the result of democracy, except in one fine point. It won't be the people as a whole but rather those who are too stupid and wedded to outmoded ideals to change. The social and political dinosaurs if you will. Maby the polls where drunk dwarves win over 'serious' candidates is actualy demonstrating the absurdity of those who insist their issue are serious. Perhaps people are finaly seeing that these nin-compoops who want the political power in this country are simply blind to a social and economic change in the winds. ____________________________________________________________________ To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.
