Government is a broker in pillage

"Government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advanced auction on stolen goods."

H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)

Unless there are candidates running solely on a platform of rescission, then this quote applies to tomorrow's elections. With that said, a "stated" choice to NOT VOTE is a vote against the entire system of plunder. It is true, without public statements, how can one tell someone is not voting in this manner oppose to common frustration, apathy or laziness? You can't of course.

Although, how can one tell someone is voting upon much reading, study and research oppose to common blind partisanship, titillating appearances and mannerisms (see note), last-minute checking of boxes, alluring one-liners per blogs and tweets, etc? You can't. Though it is safe to say the majority are the latter, given the sort of politicians, Democrat or Republican, incumbent or challenger, who win elections over and over and over again.

Note:
I am truly amazed how often I hear that this or that politician is a good or moral person without knowing the individual personally. It is not possible to make such a judgement standing in the same room with the person, and certainly not from afar via television or online videos.

Mencken was quite right. Tomorrow is nothing more than a day of pillaging, with federal and state capitols as convenient clearing houses of confiscated goods. Candidates have campaigned and offered to later toss bread to the coliseum mob in exchange for power. Unknowingly, citizens have elected to forgo increased measures of property, liberty even life itself, far more in worth than the few loaves of government bread always poor and stale in quality.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
