Voted. Why do I feel like I just wasted 5 seconds of my life though?

In fact, I've probably spent as much of my time replying to you, as you had perceived to have wasted yourself in the first place!
I could have spent that time reading another engaging post or closing some of these pop up windows or maybe I could do some work.. hmm...

Tell that to 20% of the prison population (or w/e the number is, I made that up).

I don't care if someone from the U.S. runs the country or not, what difference does that make? As long as they're a fucking human I think that's qualification enough. Just cause I was born on this piece of land I don't consider myself to 'belong' here more than anyone else.
I'm not saying their shouldn't be mental qualifications and such, but who cares where the vagina was located when you popped out of it?

I feel like if I were to write a letter to anyone they'd throw it out w/o looking at it even, and if they were to look at it they'd throw it out before finishing it once they read what I was getting at (marijuana decriminalization).
My thought is just that democracy doesn't exist. We vote people into office who have ideas that go along with ours. If there is a, for instance, governor who is against marijuana legalization and I write him a letter now he's just a governor who is against marijuana legalization who knows there is one more citizen who disagrees with him. What does he care for? Maybe if 80% of people wanted marijuana legalized/decriminalized and his campaign were riding on it, but it's not, and it won't be anytime soon.
I don't really think people get elected to office based on what issues they care about. Depending on the time period there's 3 or 4 hot button issues. Everyone generally takes the same stance, though they act like it's different. McCain says 'In afghanistan we'll do x to combat the terrorists.' Obama says 'In afghanistan we'll do y to combat the terrorists, see my plans better than McCains.'
The point behind both messages: 'We're not getting out of Iraq anytime soon, terrorism is spreading, you are all helpless and must put all trust in me, give me power please'
The only thing you really need to be a successful candidate for any office:
Enough money Choose the popular religion Have a pretty face Have friends higher than yourself Tell good lies

a piece of paper called the constitution is why it's important, should we ignore one part in favor of another or demand that we have those rights enumerated by the constitution for all citizens, as it stands they're ignoring many of our rights yet you're willing to trade one right for another?
I'd rather have all my rights
I'd rather get rid of the constitution so I'd have 'all rights' and not be limited to just the 10.
The government, by definition, doesn't give rights, they take em away. As far as I'm concerned I was born with the right to do w/e I want, I just gotta deal with the consequences of my actions.

No, disposing of the government. The constitution is just a piece of paper.

the constitution is supposed to remind people it's their job to keep government in check, dispose of government and what's to stop me from building an army and setting up shop as the new El' Presedente for life
our job is to keep them in check, we've been slacking because we've allowed them to dangle a few carrots and distract us from what they're doing
I totally agree, but the constitution loses more value as the days pass. I've completely given up hope in our govt. I believe it's just gotten too big at this point and it's lost control of itself. There's nothing we can really do. We could slowly bring it around by reform after reform and maybe in 50-100 years we'll be back on track, but I think it's a far better idea to overthrow the current system and start over yet again.
I think govt. should be completely rebuilt from scratch every.. I dunno... 50-200 years or so.
It's like my computer. I keep doing shit with it, dling things, installing things, removing things etc. I try and keep it organized I run my antivirus (well not really :p), cleanup old files etc. but over time it just gets out of hand and it's easier to backup my important data and reformat.
Keep all the old shit you've learned is valuable (eg. the constitution) and then start on a more or less blank slate. Anything that was slightly controversial vote on it again. Better yet, fuck a central govt. The central govt. should be the constitution and that's about it. The rest can be handled by the states. If one state is stupid no one will live there cause there's 49 other choices you've got. It's very unlikely they'd all, for instance, make marijuana illegal.

Wouldn't it be great if just one year no one showed up to vote?

Right now, there's only 20,000 people that voted on this thing. That hardly means much at all. That's that .0001% of America.
It's mainly because ignorant, old, and religious (oh, I already said ignorant, sorry) people don't use the internet. If only we could figure out a way those people couldn't use america then this place might start looking up.

I think it means the same thing the elections do, the debates do, etc. It reinforces the illusion that the people are involved in the law making process.

I'm not for or against socialism/capitalism/fascism/w/eism. They are all flawed as a whole yet all have good aspectsto them.
I'm not sure what socialism has to do with marijuana being illegal though. You can be socialist and smoke ganj.

I'm not saying they have used this but, I do believe they've built in a backdoor so they can alter the results if it's going unfavorably. You can call me a conspiracy theorist, but why wouldn't they? Look at all the shit they've admitted to doing. I don't think this would be big news, at least on MSM, if it came out that it were the case. It might be the top story of the day, but Obama's pr reps would spin it and say it's for security or something and it'd be forgotten tomorrow.
