None Of The Above
Editorial
What would happen if everyone went to the polls this November and wrote in "none of the above" for every office in the land?
Many assume that those in power would remain in power but I don't think so. You see, the law in this nation requires that elected officials actually be elected but if everyone wrote in "none of the above" then none of the above would be sworn into office. You see, it's the law.
Yes, some of the above-- incumbents-- would claim the right to remain seated but their challengers would see none of the above as an obvious indication that we-the-voters wanted the incumbents out. And while that might not be 100% true, the challengers would use the vote to take the incumbents to court to challenge their standing.
At that point the courts would be forced to consider that because we voted for none of the above, that means neither incumbents or challengers would be allowed to hold office.
Here's where it starts to get sketchy. Because everyone or at least a majority voted for none of the above, the courts can't seat any of the above. Again, the law requires elected officials to be elected in most instances. How the courts would resolve the issue is beyond me but one thing that would be certain is the fact that the courts would be forced to recognize that none of the above represent we-the-voters. And when the courts recognize that none of the above represent we-the-voters then all of the above would be forced to go looking for private sector jobs. You know, like most of we-the-voters are forced to do.
I'm not sure how it would all end but I'm not sure it would be all bad. Would government break down? What, it's not already broken down? Would the (insert hated political party here) not gain more control? You mean (insert hated political party here) isn't already in control? Would that turn us into Socialists? Would it turn us into Conservatives? Would activists judges take control? You mean they haven't already?
No, I don't know how it would all end but I do know one thing that would happen if a majority of we-the-voters were to write in, "none of the above" on our ballots come November: The Democratic and Republican Parties would both be forced to admit that neither side represents we-the-voters of the United States of America.
I'm casting my ballot for none of the above come November.

Soap Box
Letter to the Editor
By Laura Smith
i went to dinner with 5 friends tonight and 4 of us admitted to running out of money before the end of the month... but, that seems to be the norm these days instead of being exceptional.
we have lowered the standard of living and just surviving is what so many people are doing and it has to stop. we have to change something...
i did everything right, i went to school got a great job, had savings...
it isnt about "pulling yourself up by the boot straps" anymore.. good people, honest people have lost so much so recently.
i dont even want to talk politics, neither side has a feasible answer and they spend more money and time tearing down the other side so that no progress is made..
we have a system that is rigged and broken and the politicians aint about to fix that.. the people will have to do it by realizing we are all humans and will have to work together to build a better future for ourselves and our children.
if you are comfortable and happy... you are so lucky. i remember that feeling of security. it was fantastic. but you are in the minority.
this isnt the country it was made to be. and people have to open their eyes to see what it is becoming for so many displaced americans and work to change that.
struggling to survive.. is becoming the american way of life. that is no way to live... do something! before it gets any worse, as if it isnt bad already.
