The Vote

My universal statement to ALL Political, Philosophical, and Cultural Bloggers, including Their Essential Tools: Polls, Surveys, and The Vote.

I am an atheist and an anarchist; hence, I do not vote or bend a knee. Without exception this places me, and those like me, in virtually the smallest of minorities among all human beings on planet earth. I only mention this fact because the further away one is from these two belief systems, the more he/she is in the majority of human beings. Consequently, their vote for presidential candidates will most likely take the following order: McCain, Clinton, Obama—works better and more accurately than any poll. For that matter, it will work just as accurately for any issue: stem cell research, Iraq war, same-sex marriage, abortion rights, drug laws, etc.

Taking this system a step further, I’m just as convinced that the closer one is to atheism and anarchism, the more rational, ethical, honest he/she will be. Furthermore, while the vast majority of Homo sapiens believe the state and religion are absolutely necessary for their future survival, the very miniscule number of atheists and anarchists believe that future survival resides in the sciences and technology. In addition they predict that Homo sapiens could become extinct if they continue to follow the delusional path of gods and kings.

Therefore, given these facts, it’s surely predictable that for our species to even challenge the 500 million years of dinosaur survival, our continued existence rests solely (my guess) in the hands and minds of less than 3% of the earth’s hominid population! This 3% rejects theism and statism—aka atheists and anarchists.

So, where does that leave all this blogging and polling nonsense by that remaining 97%? That majority who spends its time verbosely fussing over who should replace a man with no brain cells (George Bush), and a pathetic pope who stumbles and mumbles around while shaking incense at a spook in the sky? If nothing else, it’s just a damn waste of time!
