Ignorance

Unless the ignorance is willful.

Ignorance


It's the late '90s and I'm stuck working in a place where my "fellow" employees are NOT the brightest Western Civilization has to offer. I'm talking with one fool about voting.

"VOTING!?" She exclaimed. "NO WAY! I DON'T VOTE!"

"Why?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"How do you know they're ALL crooks?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"It's not just candidates and politicians on the ballot. You also can vote on issues, levys, and on taxation. Don't you want to at least have a say in that?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"Is that the only reason for not voting?"

"DON'T WANNA' GET ON JURY DUTY!"

"It's not just voter registration lists. Juries are also selected from licensed driver lists. You can still end up on a jury."

Short pause.

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

I suppressed the urge to kick my heavy booted foot in the dolphin tattoo on her ankle.

People who don't vote: THEY'RE ALL CROCKS!

Just sayin' ...
