the suffragettes did well getting women the right to vote. they fought the system for a long time to get the right to vote. they wanted women to get a say in what happened in the world. up til then women were quiet.
im sure the suffragettes didn't give us that right to vote so we could do so little with it. voting is meant to be the public talking with the government about what they want and why. we find ourselves in a situation where that isn't happening. and still we're quiet.
off the top of my head i could raise a handful of topics that the public don't like. nothings being done about them. rarely even hear about it half the time.
there's a rule in qld that enables companies to own coal lines on any farm. so tv tells my friend who tells me. i'd believe it. and i believe it would be the kind of thing they'd hide. fracking and the dangers of it. all they care about it getting rich and easy fuel. bastards.
kind of sick of corporations being able to do what ever they want if the price is right. this being something our government allows and something we don't fight.
we didn't vote for that. we don't want it. and there's many instances like that. i din't vote for mr murdoch to become ridiculously, no ceiling ever, rich! at our expense. i didn't vote for any powerful man or woman being able to do that.
i didn't vote for all my vegetables to be sprayed. where was our agreement. the agreement that specified which chemicals you're spraying without lying to the public about the effects?
i didn't vote for fake make-it-live-longer stuff being added to my food. how did my life get so taken over. how did any of our lives get so taken over. even the edlestines of the world lives have been taken over. they're ruled by greed.
in oz it's compulsory to vote. can you believe that. we get a fine if we don't vote (how ironic they should use the word fine - as though all is fine with getting a fine). if we chose that neither leader will suffice with a no vote we have to pay. pay what? what are we paying for? someones time to run a vote at tax payers expense? paying for the right to say NO i don't want you and what you stand for you gutless piece of shit.
being forced by fine is dictatorship. it's you saying 'you're doing what i told you to do'. i want a system where the public is told what is being done openly. and we get to chose which bits we want. ask us.
asking us is a democracy.
