So we are slaves then, held to law by force, and unable to break the bonds without financial compensation to our masters. I'm not owned by any person or entity, and am not going to be held as such.

A slave in a cell of our own choosing, one which is warm and comfortable, but nonetheless is still a cell. They get you from birth, fill your head with ideas that you need to be coddled and be a part of a team, they lead you to believe that individuality is bad and that conformity is good . Get you to believe that your country is an exception to all the others that war, and fight, and lie, and steal.

Slaves do not own their labor. Slavemasters found that slaves who felt free by having to manage their own wages to purchase that which the slavemaster used to provide, created more docile slaves. Now the slaves makes public speeches about their freedom, all the while giving a third of the fruits of their own labor to this unseen Master. Master doesn't use whips and chains, just debt and court systems and ultimately violence to enforce its "freedom" it has privileged you with.

Stewart was pretty informative, and raw. But, Colbert knew how to use spectacle, and involve the audience. If Colbert was Pres and Stewart VP, then I may be persuaded to offer my support at the polls.

Did you do a write in under the hopes that your write in would actually win? I thought people like you only voted on what the TV box and partisan side you belong to told you to vote for?

I have seen so many people want someone other than heads or tails, but when it came down to the wire, they voted for who they thought would win and not for their chosen candidate. That's called feelgood voting, because if your "pick" wins, then you can gloat about your prescience and feel good about picking a "winner". Do you know anyone who gloats about their proclivity to state the obvious?

At least you had the intestinal fortitude to vote your conscience that one time. I assume it was during Bush and you knew he would win so wrote in some alternate candidate to "Feel Good" about sticking it to Bush. amiright?

Are you a "Feel good " voter sky?

Wouldn't simply abstaining from voting be a better course of action in those cases?
