Al, my apolgies should you feel slighted by my comments ... you are a quality poster worthy of respect. On the other hand, I hate to see those proven to be bashers, inconsistent in their comments and manipulative while both attempting to preach their "superiority" and improve their credibility through charlatan objectivity be given any mind time to encourage them.

I am indeed

the guy who doesn't go to the polls and vote on election day, then goes on to complain about what a lousy job the politicians are doing.

Although I have in the past been very active including door to door campaigning ... I am reluctant to go vote against someone ... given our choices in the last election I couldn't vote for someone.

That said, given the inordinate tax dollars I pay ... I honestly believe I purchase the right to complain about those people I and other taxpayers pay to serve and represent us ... funny I feel the same when I go to a restaurant, hotel if served something less than what I deserve even if I don't fill out their survey cards.

On that note, why isn't a category saying dissatisifed with all the candidates not on or none of the above (write in your choice) not on a ballot ... who knows might be someone who serves the community well who doesn't have the money and party backing who gets elected .... wouldn't that be refreshing. Might also be telling ifthey published such information on thos dissatisifed and anyone with over 1000 votes ... could actually get politics back to a grass root level

Oh btw ... I have gone to the poll and officially refused my ballot, I have destroyed ballots ... even spoke to a electorate official and ask what would happen if I ate or burned the ballot ... whatever just to satisfy those who criticize others who make a consicious decision to not support any of the clowns running who at the end of the day have no real interest other than self and party perpetuation.

In any case ... my conscience is clear and I have no misgivings nor do I feel any obligation to defen myself ... I have my own ways of serving humanity and I am cool.
