Vote! Or die despite it, Sucker!

A freely available OPINION

By The Cowboy Picayune-Sunny Times Editorial Board

A recent high-profile book review got us thinking about voters, voting and what’s left of democracy.

Or as one of our brothers now says: "If everybody's right, then no one's left!"

Well, sort of. Let's true that up some, homes.

Perhaps, if we had read the damn book, instead of pretending, like some fawned over cocktail party dilettante, maybe we could sort out what we think, we think we know from what "is known" to be true, and right and so evenhandedly brilliant you could respect us in the morning for our wise assertions in this essay instead of our offhanded discursiveness.

Regardless, the reported thesis, as summarized by The New Yorker, that legendary, soul-searching juggernaut of elite, east coast townhouse pretenses, alleges “too much voter participation is a bad thing.”

Further, this well-rumored to be audacious new book is said to say that the “average voter is not held in much esteem by economists and political scientists”.

If you’re like us, you’re probably saying by now: “Well, screw you, snobby egghead pants, who didn’t know that? Who cares?”

I guess the simple answer is, maybe we all should.
