| To
me voting is an essential part of a nation’s growth
and development. As it is voting is a major factor in choosing
leadership in everything from gaining ones independence
to selecting representatives to senate and a whole host
of other important political ramifications. To most of the
world democracy would seem the most ideal route towards
choosing a leadership. In theory the allure of individual
say in politics is almost too good too pass up. I however
have found the perfect solution. I don’t vote. Why?
Because in my 21 years (actually the last eight to be more
precise) I have come to the conclusion that if democrats
and republicans haven’t been able to unite the people
of America quite possibly a one party system is the best
solution. Look at it like this if a chain is only as strong
as its weakest link then multi party policy making in a
sense is the chain that has popped beyond repair. In America
(A multi party “Democracy”) 12.7 percent of
the population lives below the poverty line. As opposed
to Cuba (A one party “Dictatorship”) in which
the government makes most all decisions as they relative
to private business and land ownership. Cuba has an amazing
97% literacy rate. In all honesty voters need not be rocket
scientist to see the light: One party system if utilized
to its full potential eliminates the need for votes because
morality and ethics would be the basis behind patriotism.
As I look at states such as California where over fifty
different candidates from regular ‘Joe Shmoe”
to porn stars ran for governor during the recall election.
The outcome was Actor turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger
was elected into office. From my view point had the people
of California gotten together their would be no controversy
as to which leader is best to lead that particular state.
I don’t claim to have every answer but I do know one
thing had Adolph Hitler not been such a mass murdering fascist
the people of Germany and the world for that matter would
quite very well have had to stand in awe at the control
over a nation such as Hitler possessed.
Moreover during the years leading up to and during America’s
Civil War all true blue abolitionists knew full well the
importance of freedom. Non- brainwashed slaves also knew
the true beauty of the freedom they dreamed of many a night
after tireless work under the hot son and masters whip alike.
Had freedom fighters concentrated on individual necessities
I dare to say my daily routine would be picking cotton.
When the late Khalid Mohammad (out spoken leader of the
new lack panthers) called for a million man march he knew
a million people would be more formidable than two separate
500,000 men marches. Like the late great Malcolm X once
said a slap may hurt your opponent but when you bring your
fist together to strike the opponent the togetherness of
your fist sends him into a whole new world of hurt.
My reluctance to vote comes from my eagerness to see unity
lead to everlasting peace and prosperity.
