What are the main issues, will you vote with your heart or vote to keep a party out.

Kimmy Plodder Mar 2015 11:26pm, 28 Mar 2015 4 posts	0 Kimmy Plodder Two quotes I have always remembered ... Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage. Ambrose Bierce In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. Franklin D. Roosevelt Our so called leaders are nothing but front men for the shadowy cabals that truly govern us and shape world events. Oh ... one more for you, just to make you think ... It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin

George Orwell No one believes more firmly than comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be Only too happy to let you make your decision for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decision comrade, and then where would we be. George Orwell If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. Emma Goldman If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil. Not sure where that quote originally came from We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frosts familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been travelling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at the end lies disaster. The other fork of the road- the one less travelled by offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth. Rachel Carson
