THEY'LL GET THE SOCIETY THEY DESERVE - UNFORTUNATELY

Now it might come as a surprise to some people but every now and then I get a bit pissed off at things.

The latest is in listening to National Radio today and the discussion on voting in local elections.
Apparently many young people won't vote because they don't know how to do a postal vote i.e. they don't know how to post a letter.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST A LETTER!

Well, fuck me. What have we become?
Are people, generally but not always younger, so engrossed in their smartphones and other gadgets that they are gradually or even rapidly losing sight of and contact with the world around them?
This is scary.

Many people also won't vote because basically they're too lazy. Apparently reading a little pamphlet that has detail of the candidates, making the selection and ticking the boxes on a clearly laid out voting form is too time consuming for some idiots who think nothing of wasting time on their phones, watching inane things on TV and other media and playing idiotic video games. It makes me mad.

We have a democratic voting system in this country where we can elect who we want to govern our country.
We also have local elections where we can vote for people to run local council, regional council, district health board, and other important organisations in the areas where we live.
These things are valuable rights that some countries in the world don't have and that people fight and die for.

Idiots!
