So, following last years November elections, the upcoming government has been formed and we’re up for another term with Yawn-Peter Balkenende as our prime-minister.

It’s not surprising to see that these criminals get away with an un-just war. No investigation into the Iraqcle (Iraq + Debacle) — it’s a fucking joke how easy they can get away with this…. These corrupt guys just throw an extra bunch of impossible new ideas into their party-program that they’re sure of it’ll cause major irritation and objections from all the other parties — and you can get away with the shit you really want to do.

And meanwhile, there’s another election pending, one for the Staten-Generaal, or parliament, this March…. And I am having serious doubts as to vote, or not to vote.

The irony is that I’ve always told other people to use their vote but at this point I’ve lost total trust in that system. I’m currently balancing two things on a scale:

1. If I vote — I am, somehow, kinda responsible for anything coming from it.
2. If I do not vote, I am, somehow, kinda responsible for anything coming from it.

So basically, we have 2 different actions — both resulting in the same consequences.

If doing something and doing nothing have similar consequences, should any effort be made? Is that morally acceptable? We all know that, politically, things will only get worse (Entropy: the slow, but sure detoriation of a society)…

(Incidentally, listening to Kurtis Blow’s “If I ruled the world” the other day, I realised that:

If I ruled the world and there would be happiness and peace;
The CIA’s terrorists would blow it to pieces.

And the sad reality is that there will never be peace because there’s always an asshole who thinks he must change other people. But I slightly digress here.)

Possibly, taking part in the voting process is basically keeping this hideous thing in motion. At least that does count for the herds of thousands of sheep who only know of politics what the media feeds them.

There’s no way for a few sane people to go up against the insane multitude with an insane system.

Keeping those things in mind, day by day I get more accustomed to the thought that I can just ignore stuff and head out to buy the latest video-game. The multitude seems to only think about themselves, so why shouldn’t I.
