A Tale Of Two Holidays

It's ironic..our two recent holidays.

OK, election day really isn't a "holiday"...yet, tho there are several proposals, in states and Congress, for making it one; in an attempt to encourage voting.  Sadly, too many people take a "holiday" from voting...but that ought to be considered along with other ideas to increase voting.
 
Australia voted recently, where voting is MANDATORY. It apparently works, and I would point out both Australia and the US have England and the British traditions in common.

The other holiday of course was Memorial Day, when we pay tribute to those who gave their lives that we can continue living in a free country, and so far that includes the freedom to ignore elections (and later complain about our public officials!)

Kentuckians turned out for the first holiday by 20%. We consider ourselves a patriotic people; don't we see the irony here?
 
Ironic...and pathetic.

I'm just sayin'...

  1. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
