Yeah, simplicity

Garbage. Check out the Bush ad on ownership. I saw this tonight and had to come out here and say something. At least the Onion was there to cheer me up. "It's good to own things, that's how you have a future in America." Really? Gee I thought the idea was to sell everything and just live in a box on the side of the road. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but please please remove this man from office.

Well that's not exactly true. A person with no permanent residence can vote anywhere but only at one place. registering declares you a member of a constituency district. The only trouble is that without anywhere to mail to, you're responsible for finding out where to vote. As for how you fill out a registration form without an address, well you'd have to take it up with your county board of elections because each state handles that differently. But I wasn't referring to homeless people. What about the people of New York City that rent for the majority if not all of their lives? Hell there are millions like that all over the country really. Home ownership is a privelege that could never be given to every American. Even we don't have that much room. The main point to me with this commercial is that it's written to prove two things. One: G.W. could care less about folks without the income to afford a home(which we already know) and Two: The future of Bush's America is based on elitist dominance(which is practically inevitable).

See I've always been a believer in elitist theory, because it makes the most political and logical sense. Of course a percentage that is smaller will have more ability than the larger population so those folks will have the power. The sad truth of today is that in recent years Americans have proved to the world that money is not the main factor of elitism. That ideas and inovation or creativity or hard work can push a new class of elites from the lower classes. Now we're right back on track with the rich being the elite regardless of ability. It's like Kurt Vonnegut said

"What can be said to our young people, now that psychopathic personalities, which is to say persons without consciences, without a sense of pity or shame, have taken all the money in the treasuries of our government and corporations and made it all their own?"
