Davros, you are the man
John, the laws in NYC affect me far more than they do Oblivion, so yes, they are my business than his. I support the laws, obviously to the point of moving here.
As far as not having a voice, that is simply untrue. Only 50% of Americans vote. If I through conversation, song or public speech influence just one voter, then I've "had my vote" percentage speaking.
"One vote one voice" is clearly a myth. Does Rupert Murdoch only have one vote? Or, through media manipulation, does he have millions? [/QB][/QUOTE]I didn't write that the laws have no effect on you or make a comparison to the amount of effect. In fact I state there is an effect and you are effected by laws. That's what is meant by
"you takes what you gets",
"and you only have what the voters have said you can have through the laws their elected pukes have writen." The same in true for me if I went to another country, or Heaven forbid to NY or another yankee state, I'm not a voter in those states so until I become one I has to take what I gets.
Well you can put your hope on an "if" all you want I put my hope on marking my ballot on election day.
Is Rupie a citizen? If not he has no vote, but he does have the right to speak and influence others the two are not the same thing. Politicains try to influence voters all the time but they have only one vote in an election. The press and Hollywood try to influence voters, as does the tree huggers and gun toters, but them that get off their rear ends and vote are the only ones that had a say in the matter.
