    I really never feel compelled to vote. I'll do it here and there, I can practically roll out of bed and walk to my polling location in 2 minutes so it's simple.

    To me, I think its a relative waste of time. I don't feel a rush of patriotic duty when I vote. Most of my positions are self centered. If it doesn't affect me, don't care. If it does affect me, I'll only support positions that personally benefit me in the short term. Everything changes all the time. Everything is fucked. Politicians suck. All of them.

    I do more laughing at modern society than anything. Its a cynical world view, but i don't care.

    ESPN changed its forum format and it was awful so we all went looking for someplace... before ESPN, I was on the Blazers List Talk mailing list (I remember EdO was on there too); this was back in college

    Here's a name from the past:
    Wow, do I need to suddenly apologize for who I am?

    Better late than never! I mean, I get it, though--realizing the level of your own ignorance is a tough pill to swallow. Take your time, Lil Fella!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I was on BLT for a short time. I actually don't remember Ed O from that-- the two people I recall most were Laurel T (I'll just abbreviate her last name for anonymity) and Tula. I was in university too at the time.

    Sounds like you’re in favor of a Nazi state where people get punished for having a different political opinion. That’s very progressive of you.

    Nope. You have every right to be proud of your country. Ignore the haters and the idiots who don’t know how lucky they are to live here.

    As opposed to a country where the govt tear gasses it's citizens so the president can have a photo op at a church? Yeah right.....I was born in this country, served this country and watched assholes run it into the ground in the name of greed and white privilege....the haters are in power currently if you want to talk hate....you know who else toppled statues? The Patriots that kicked out King George....get woke and get off your high horse buddy..you're clearly on the wrong side of history. If you find that entertaining....you really don't give a shit. Good luck with that
