> OK, then you too are a dumb ass.
SA:
Do you think mainstream culture would wake-up if
more people didn't vote? How many does it take for
this culture to realize that nothings' at the table to
vote for that will actually make it into office and do
something worthwhile? When will somebody like
yourself wake-up and realize that a no-vote is a vote
for something? And your a dumb ass too putting people
into office that have screwed up this country, so...
did we get anywhere on that one?
[Krimel]
A no show at the polls says only that you are a fool who doesn't give a
shit. "A no-vote is a vote for something"?
Oh my god. Pass the cheese whiz and another Bud.

SA:
How is it stupid, lazy, and deceitful? Do you
have something more thoughtful to add that would
better explain your position? A no-vote is a vote.
[Krimel]
A no show at the polls only serves to confirm to the power brokers that
people are stupid and that they can get away with treating us as a nation of
sheep and fools. I suspect this is not news to them.

SA:
"Vote for a loser"?
[Krimel]
Exactly, stop worrying about whether the people you vote for win or lose.
This is not the frickin' lottery. You do not get a prize.

SA:
Come on. I know you got your teaching job for
being more thoughtful than this. If you actually said
anything worth thinking about. "bad citizen" and
"just bullshit" aren't those arbitrary comments. I
could easily think the same of you.
[Krimel]
I always chose my words carefully. I am attempting to use words that someone
expressing the point of view you are advocating is likely to understand. I
could take it down a notch if it would help. I'm rubber you are glue...
Sheesh, idiots...
