Re: Well folks...it looks like tomorrow is the day...
here's the rub...the average voter, and that applies to the people who vote on legislation too (local, state, federal levels...) are uninformed. you've seen the shows where they send a camera out and ask questions like "who's the vice president?" dismal failure rate...and that's on college campuses. try asking something that (if you are an American) you should know, like "what are the 3 branches of government and how do they function?"....blank stares. but you ask who kim kardashian is doing....you'll get close to 100% correct answers every time.....
my point is this....when presented with the choice of voting for someone keeping big giant (and thanks to the media, animal planet, etc .,"man eating") pythons versus siding with the "humane" society (i mean, c'mon....they're humane...it says so in their name for crying out loud....sad puppy eyes, sarah mclachlan and stuff....)the average, uninformed American voter won't have a friggin' clue about facts....our legislators won't take the time to read the facts or educate themselves (Obamacare anyone?)....honestly, i'm not sure we really stand a chance. i want to be wrong...please let me be wrong. unfortunately, a large percentage of people today are more concerned about their new cell phone and entertainment tonight than with most things that require discernment.
