-Caveat Lector- < < < Date > > > | < < < Thread > > > NO MANDATE: To vote or not to vote in 2000. by nurev 29 June 1999 01:07 UTC ELECTION 2000 NO MANDATE ! ================== DON'T VOTE ! IT JUST ENCOURAGES THEM. ,,,,,,,,,, Please consider the following: The diversity and size of the U.S. plays right into the hands of the ruling class and their institutions. It's easy to keep a society like this divided along natural fault lines. Class, race, religion, gender, sexual preference, occupation, philosophical outlook, regionalism, and multiculturalism, are some reasons that truly mass movements are almost impossible to organize in this country. The obvious exceptions are war, and disaster. ................By using such ploys as * Get out the Vote *, * Rock the Vote*, and the ever popular, guilt inducing, * think of all the dead soldiers who bravely gave their lives so that you may vote*, you dear voter are duped into rubber stamping the representatives of the rich. Vote for a candidate you want, or don't vote at all. Thanks for listening, Joshua2 ------------------------------------------------------ Well obviously Joshua2 wrote this BEFORE the Holy Man was put on the ticket.....what made me ill was his reference re the guilt trip for ......all those soldiers who died in the war so we could vote. Really Joshua - the 6 million who died in WWII all Jews - make that 6 millioni and 1 and add my father - and oh yes, there are 55 million others who do not have shrines or people make a fast buck off the dead. Love that your vote doesn't count; strange, my did. Saba The above exerpts from Joshua are extraordinary coming from a man who would disarm Americans and then turn loose the perverts on their children - THE DEMOCRACY ILLUSION: Andrew Marr Of 'The Independent' Interviews Noam Chomsky (MIT professor) What we call politics is really a shadow play conducted by corporate power. Parliament [Congress] is the buffer between the popular desire for democracy and the reality of corporate rule. People, after all, are unlikely to resist that rule so long as politicians (and journalists) succeed in persuading us that it is not there; that in fact it is we who are in control. The mass media plays a crucial role in supporting the democracy illusion by pretending that the arguments presented to us - together with the parties we are allowed to choose from - constitute a free and fair spectrum of choices, which are our choices, and not what is left after state and corporate power have filtered out choices that threaten to interfere. One of the choices deemed unfit for public consumption is the idea that the mass media is a propaganda system. <http://worldmedia.com/archive/index.html> "The Roman government gave them bread and circuses.
