74% of Americans Support Voter ID Laws: Do You?

I chose no because there was no "who cares" option.

If you want to roll in their mud then prepare to obey their rules. There's no shortage of them.

The real question is why vote? Do you need these people for whom you are voting? Even if you really trust the people for whom you vote, is it worth the risk of being ruled by "the other guys"?

12 years ago democrats voted for their guy and wound up being ruled for 8 years by a guy they hated. Why? 4 years ago, the republicans did the same. Why? Why would anyone choose others to rule over them and why would they just accept having someone they hate and distrust take their money and tell them what to do? That's insane. Is that how you handle the rest of your life? Of course not. Would you give such power to your neighbor? If not, why would you give it to strangers?

What have we gotten? Over a decade of war with both of the last guys saying they were for peace only to wage war in 5 countries and threaten two more. Bank bailouts and auto bailouts. Medicare part D and Obamacare. Patriot Acts I and II, NDAA, Guantanamo Bay (still open) and the TSA. The continuing drug war and more government approved drugs in the schools. Government is a real success...if you happen to be in it.

And regardless of what party you support, look at what these evil, narcissistic a-holes do in office; lie, cheat, steal and murder. Yet people keep voting cause sure...this next guy's gonna fix it? Cheeseandcrackers, it's a damned hamster wheel of evil. It's time to get off of it.

There is no sort of person I want in charge of me other than myself and I have no desire to be in charge of another. In fact, a person with such a desire is one from whom I wish to find myself far away.

If I as an individual do not have the authority to force you to refrain from non-violent activities or to compel you by force to surrender the fruits of your labor to me (what we call theft, robbery or extortion), then I cannot delegate authority I do not have to another individual, especially as that individual also does not have the authority to do so. An aggregation of individuals without the authority to commit those acts also cannot delegate authority they do not have as individuals to others to commit those acts which are impermissible on an individual basis to another. All I may do is control myself and my own property. Control of anything else is a fantasy that is only achievable through violence or the threat of violence.

Those people in office are only there because the people accept them. Not because I don't.

On the contrary, it is to be considered that, without his consent having ever been asked, a [*6] man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practise this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, be finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he use the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two. In self-defence, he attempts the former. His case is analogous to that of a man who has been forced into battle, where he must either kill others, or be killed himself. Because, to save his own life in battle, a man attempts to take the lives of his opponents, it is not to be inferred that the battle is one of his own choosing. Neither in contests with the ballot --- which is a mere substitute for a bullet --- because, as his only chance of self-preservation, a man uses a ballot, is it to be inferred that the contest is one into which he voluntarily entered; that he voluntarily set up all his own natural rights, as a stake against those of others, to be lost or won by the mere power of numbers. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, in an exigency, into which he had been forced by others, and in which no other means of self-defence offered, he, as a matter of necessity, used the only one that was left to him.
