I am re-evaluating my political opinions
I have come to the conclusion that it's time for me to reconsider all of my political positions. Most of my opinions have been held for so long that they are more habit than anything, so now I am going to attempt to start from scratch and see where the endeavor takes me.

Obviously, the best way to form political opinions is by consulting bitter football fans on an internet message board, so let's do this. Somebody start me off. Pick an issue and tell me why I should be on your side.

Yes, absolutely. You just have to keep this principle in mind: I will do my part to make the world cleaner when I leave than when I was brought into this world.

Recycle, reuse, promote renewable energy, plant a garden, plant trees, pick up trash, etc.

Awesome. If talking to others that have little justification for holding their positions doesn't change your mind, I don't know what will.

I do, however, think this will be fascinating.

Great take.

I know my politics are not the same as they were twenty years ago, or even ten years ago. Some on this forum consider a change of political stance to by lying (Direckshun), but people's views do change as they progress through life.

I volunteered in a local election in a place that has been mired in scandal for a decade, all of which came from the more predominant local party. It's been one-party rule for a decade.

I helped the minority party, and they had two great candidates for county commissioner who were committed to reform. The dominant party had a bunch of brain-dead mouth-breather voters who showed up at the polls and made their X for the dominant party without any thought at all. As a result, one of the new county commissioners has made it clear that the scandals are "a marketing issue" despite the fact that massive documentation of the scandals exists. He's going to just cover stuff up like his predecessors did.

So my position is that we should all vote third party and break up the two-party system. Also, we should somehow do a basic intelligence/awareness test of voters before they are allowed to vote. I'm talking really basic, but enough to keep people from voting in crooks because they have a particular letter behind their name.

I saw firsthand what happens when stupid people vote. A candidate got elected who had been caught lying on television by an investigative reporter two weeks before the election. This candidate states that people going to prison on corruption charges is "a marketing problem" and refuses to acknowledge that corruption exists, when it has been proven many times beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I have seen stupid, and it is thriving. It's time to stop stupid people from electing our government.

28,000+ people voted for a member of the Westboro Baptist Church in our election.

No joke.
