This afternoon, I stopped by the local polling place on my way home from riding. There are nine constitutional amendments on the ballot this November–and I’m not gonna tell you how I voted. I’m sure you could figure it out! Which leads me to the next point: you should go vote too. But if you’re gonna vote against me, then don’t go at all! Ha…
Anyways, I hand my voter registration card to the attendant, they check the computer and ask me if I affirm that I am who I am and that I live where I live (Bla bla bla). I said, “Yes ma’am.” and proceeded to vote. No photo ID check…nothing. I could vote again if I had another registration card. But the irony is that I can’t buy something from Best Buy without an ID, but I can vote with only my word. Hum? Is this stupid, or is it just me?
I received my check for $6.00 for my service on jury duty last month. Six bucks for two hours of work. Our government is only paying ~55% of minimum wage. The funny thing is that I donated my six bucks to a victim relief fund, but I guess they missed my waiver. It makes me wonder how such a incompetent organization can still exist, and it makes me think about how incompetent that organization is. And I pay it thousands of dollars every year. Crazy.
