Message: <blockquote data-quote="dutchwrangler" data-source="post: 1737824" data-attributes="member: 4650">I approach the entire voting thing from a philisophical point. Government is an institution that holds the monopoly on force that takes the property of the people with the threat of violence/imprisonment. Theft, whether done by government or an individual, is immoral. Thus, voting for the continuation of government that engages in theft makes the voter as guilty as the politician doing the stealing with the threat of government behind them.I've opted to unplug from the entire process and not participate in a system that uses fear and threat of violence against people. I refuse to be a part of the immorality of theft. Many here claim to be Christian (I'm a Deist). That any Christian willingly will participate in a system that perpetuates theft simply has never made sense. Voting is nothing more than being an accessory to the immoral act of theft. Sugar coat it anyway you want. Claim that the government is the only entity that can provide roads and defense (history proves otherwise) and as such we should be involved in the process of voting. No matter how you slice it... if you vote, you give sanction to theft.</blockquote>
