The Votes are In

The votes are in and the whining has just begun.

I’m extremely happy that my phone isn’t ringing off the hook anymore. For the past few days, I was getting 10+ calls a day with someone asking me to vote for their candidate. Of course, this did nothing but anger me to the point I was almost ready to keep track of who called and how many times just so they wouldn’t get my vote.

Honestly, I didn’t give a crap who was up for re-election. The only thing I thought was extremely important to me was Issue 5 (Smoke-Free Ohio). I don’t have a problem with people smoking, I just don’t want to be around it in an enviroment I can’t get away from it.

Most of the people I spoke with today were extremely pissed that it passed (or at least looked like it was going to pass). Someone said “How would you like it if you were fat and they wouldn’t serve you at McDonald’s since you’re fat?” I thought that made no sense at all and I said the idea is more like this. “If you’re in a restaraunt eating your food and you’re in the non-farting section, and then a bunch of people come and sit down in the farting section. They start farting it up and the smell comes over while you’re trying to eat. So now you’re trying to enjoy your meal, but all you can smell is their farts. Is that fair?”

I seriously should have ran the campaign for the Issue 5. I can just see the ads of the farting and non-farting sections. Oh well.

I’m sick of this election bullcrap though, and can’t wait for it to die down until next time. They always say “Your Vote Matters” and things of that nature. I never believed it though. I’m more of a believer in “Your vote matters if the person you voted for wins, if not it was really just a waste of time.”
