Just an Ass

I admit that I am just an ass, and one who has very little idea what she is braying about.

However, over the years, I have come to conclude that my vote for the next American Idol will ultimately count more than my vote for President of the United States.

There was much hooplah regarding the abolishment of the Electoral College after the 2000 election debacle. Where have the naysayers gone since then? We have once again become complacent with a flawed system which does not necessarily echo the voice of the American people. We are willing to accept the system because, with three glaring exceptions in our nation’s history, the popular vote and the results of the convoluted Electoral College happened to match up.

I’m not asserting that I have a solution for this problem. I will continue to vote, regardless of being disheartened by politics in general. Because, at my core, I am a simple citizen who wants this country to thrive. And I will do whatever I can with my small power, and my small brain, to help achieve that end.
