Heading into this election lead-in.
Can't vote for Blair. Where do you start?
War, control freak, liar, right-wing
err,
Would be moralist, hypocrite
Hasn't said a word against the idiot Bush
and his dangerous bible-bashing
(old and new versions) crew.
Can't vote for Howard - right-wing
err
Dracula.
May vote for Kennedy's lot.
But...
For the first time in my life
I've actually considered abstention.
That is seriously bad....
Not as bad as invading Iraq,
Or polluting the fuck out of the World
Like the Americans...
Or abusing the Iraqis,
Or blowing up the Trade Center.
Or not stopping the genocide in
Sudan, Congo, Rwanda.
Just going where the oil is...
Not as bad as that.
Thank god.
