                                       Voting; Any Idiot Can Do It, Hence Every Idiot Will
                                     
                                                 "Vote For The Name You Know"

    In the Eddie Murphy movie, Distinguished Gentleman, he plays a con man elected to Congress by using the name of the recently deceased incumbent congressman. His campaign slogan "Vote for the name you know"

   For all this talk about pissed off old white people revolting against the establishment and electing a populist maverick, as noteworthy with the recent plunge in favorable polling for President Trump, I would say his election to president was just because of one main factor. As CBS CEO Les Moonves put it "Trump may be bad for the country, but he is great for ratings" i.e. name recognition.

    Unfortunately voting is a right, or privilege, that any one who is a citizen and 18 years old or over has. And now people are outraged that The Trump Administration is going to do what Trump said he would do and take away their Obamacare and food stamps.

    When you think that TV ads for car dealerships, new or used autos, has some excited and screaming jackass of a car salesman (one dealership here locally actually featured a real jackass, that is, mule) who, apparently with sales success, has people willing to pay thousands, even twenty thousand plus, on a major purchase, as especially a new automobile is.

    You realize fools and their money, or voting rights, should never be allowed near a television. The "Tyranny of The Majority" is an airhead who will spend $20 bucks on scratch off lotto tickets in the hopes they will win back $16 dollars.   -- Diogenes Ltd.
