Freedom is an illusion. It only exists if no-one takes notice of you, or if you're rich enough to pay for it - and that doesn't always work. Politics - and politicians - are irrelevant. No matter who wins, nothing ever changes.

Voting for a rock, a tree, a dog, or even a nice flower arrangement is just as productive as wasting your vote on any of the attention whores running for any level of office.

Fuck voting. Governments should gain power based on the "Minute To Win It" ideal:

Guy Fieri: "Mr. Romney. You are the Republican candidate for President of the United States of America. You are an inch away from being the most powerful man in the world. Standing in front of you is Jim. This man has lost his job and his wife, and is on the verge of becoming homeless.

"You, sir, have sixty seconds to find Jim ANY job that pays at least minimum wage. If you succeed, you will be the next President of the United States of America, and I'll toss in a voucher for free chili at The General Store in Washington D.C. to boot. You have a minute to win it. Your time starts now."

Mitt Romney: "Waffle waffle waffle, rabble rabble rabble..."
