To vote or not to vote : Election Special Part One

I am sick and tired of people telling me either that I have to vote or that if i don’t vote that I can’t complain.

Well the truth of the mater is that if you do vote you can’t complain either.  If you vote you really do have to comply with the decisions that are made as a result of that vote– you can’t complain.  The results of that vote really are your fault.  All you can complain about is that your system has contributed to this system that is strangling your freedoms.

Me on the other hand, I will never complain about the individual decisions of the system.  I already know that they are going to lead to the same failures that republics and democracies alike have always lead to– dissolutions, complete destruction of freedom on the greatest levels.  I know that it is going to happen, plain and simple.  So, I don’t complain.  I merely voice the problems i have with the system.  Something that people who participate in it can never do.

Here is a short list of my greveinances with our system:

1) Voting in one man one vote system

2) That 51% of the population can dicatate to me what I have to do

3) The individual is trampled for the sake of the whole

4) Every single democracy that has been in existence has ended in absolute destruction 

5) Republics end in dictatorships– always! and paved the way for the greatest attrocities in human history

But these pail in comparison to problems with government in general

1) Government always tends towards growth

2) Government always requires a sacrifice of some freedom no matter how small

3) As government grows, it takes more and more freedom as its cost

Winston Churchill said ” Democract is the worst form of government… except for all the others.”  And he is right: the other options to the problem of government are worse

Most people take that to somehow mean that therefore Democracy is the best form of government and should be complied with, aquiesed to.  I say that if democracy is the best available form of government, then perhaps we need to think up a different solution to the problem of government.  

Each problem above will addressed in this eight week election special 8 part post.

 

Remember always that Government is the Enemy of Mankind
