  Voting in Wake County
I got to vote against three bonds, and the FIRST $%#ofa%(&# who tells
me that my 'participation' in such a primitive looting system implies
my acceptance of it is going to get a virtual bloody nose.

Odd thing: there were three signs for Raleigh City Council hopefuls
outside my polling place. That wouldn't be odd except that I am not IN
Raleigh, nor was the polling place. I guess those guys just had too
many signs and wanted to junk up my polling place.

As I drove through Cary on my way home, I saw signs saying "Tired of
Cary City Council? VOTE NOBODY" - that was cool.

As I left my polling place, I swiped the nauseating vote-yes-on-bonds
sign decorating the polling place, which might sound daring for such a
straight-lace suburban neighborhood, but in fact the polling place was
closing anyway, so I just saved someone else the effort of throwing it
away. But the reason I wanted it - besides the ritualistic torment I
mean to inflict upon it - is that I wanted to know who paid for them.
Interesting, there doesn't seem to be that information on the signs.
Not even a printer's mark, at least not from a casual inspection.

I suppose Wake County taxes paid for them, but I guess I'll have to go
to the tedious business of tracking that info down. Should have done
so before the election, I guess.

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
