    I’m with you. I love everything George Carlin did, except for his anti vote bits. Somehow voting is supposed to make you compliant in the current going on in government, is the argument.

    The only way to change things is too consistently vote until the baby boomers are thinned out of their electoral advantage.

      Carlin isn’t wrong on the crucial parts.

      The system is broken and cannot be fixed by voting. It must be dismantled and replaced.

      But while we get started on the dismantling and replacing, maybe vote so that the current system doesn’t deteriorate, break down and gets replaced by something worse before you have the chance to bring about meaningful and positive change.
