NO VOTING?

YOU MAY THINK IT IS CRAZY TO SUGGEST ELIMINATING VOTING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL BUT AS YOU WILL SEE, IF YOU FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE OF HOW OUR NATION HAS BECOME SO DIVIDED, IT DIRECTLY LEADS TO THE VOTING PROCESS. 

THE VOTING PROCESS COMES WITH A LOT OF BAGGAGE. THERE ARE TRUST ISSUES WITH VOTING. MANY AMERICANS FEEL THEIR VOTE DOESN'T COUNT. IN MANY CASES THEY ARE RIGHT. IN 1960 MANY WOMEN VOTED FOR JOHN F. KENNEDY SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WAS VERY HANDSOME. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN 1992 WITH BILL CLINTON. THESE ARE TWO CLASSIC EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE VOTING FOR THE WRONG REASONS.  VOTING IS COMBATIVE, DIVISIVE, EMOTIONAL AND NOT LOGICAL AND VOTING DIRECTLY LEADS TO DIVISIVE POLITICAL PARTIES.

DIVISIVE POLITICAL PARTIES ARE FORMED BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS POLARIZING ISSUES THAT DIVIDE AMERICAN VOTERS INTO POLITICAL CAMPS OR PARTIES. ONE OF THESE ISSUES IS ABORTION! IF A PRO-CHOICE CANDIDATE RAN AGAINST A PRO-LIFE CANDIDATE THERE WOULD BE  PEOPLE LINING UP TO SUPPORT EACH CANDIDATE BEFORE A VOTE WAS CAST. THIS IS HOW THESE POLARIZING ISSUES HAVE CREATED POLITICAL PARTIES. IN THE BEGINNING OF OUR COUNTRY  THERE WAS DISAGREEMENT ON HOW LARGE AND POWERFUL OUR NEW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE. THIS DISAGREEMENT LED TO JOHN ADAMS LEADING THE RAPIDLY FORMING FEDERALIST PARTY, WHO BELIEVED IN A BIGGER, STRONGER  FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THOMAS JEFFERSON LEADING THE RAPIDLY FORMING DEMOCRAT- REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHO SUPPORTED A WEAKER AND SMALLER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THIS DIVISIVE ISSUE CREATED POLITICAL PARTIES DURING GEORGE WASHINGTON’S PRESIDENCY AND WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO THEM EVER SINCE!

ON THE FLIPSIDE  30-35% OF AMERICAN CITIZENS NEVER REGISTER TO VOTE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.  THIS TELLS US THAT MANY PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT VOTING AND HAVE NO FAITH IN THE PROCESS. IN MY OPINION, VOTING IS GREAT FOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUES SUCH AS THE OSCARS, THE EMMY AWARDS, MISS AMERICA AND MOST VALUABLE PLAYER  AWARDS,  BUT NOT POLITICS. THE VOTING PROCESS IS TOO UNSTABLE, DIVISIVE (RED STATES AND BLUE STATES),  CORRUPT AND UNRELIABLE TO TRUST OUR NATIONAL POLITICS TO, WHERE CURRENTLY LIFE AND DEATH DECISIONS ARE MADE BY OUR POLITICALLY PARTISAN REPRESENTATIVES WHO SERVE THEIR PARTIES AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

A MORE LOGICAL, LESS DIVISIVE, LESS CORRUPT, AND EMOTIONALLY STABLE SYSTEM IS NEEDED. MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC IS A GOOD IDEA. OUR JOB IS TO DEVISE A BETTER REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC WITHOUT UNNECESSARY DRAMA, DIVISIVE POLITICAL PARTIES, CORRUPT MONEY IN OUR NATIONAL POLITICS, AND CONTAMINATED MEDIA INFLUENCE.  I BELIEVE THAT THE QRS (QUALIFIED RANDOM SERVICE) SYSTEM WOULD CREATE A MUCH  IMPROVED REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC. SELECTING YOUR KNOWLEDGEABLE NEIGHBOR AT RANDOM TO SERVE AS YOUR DISTRICTS FEDERAL REPRESENTAVE MAKES SENSE BECAUSE DIVISIVE VOTING IS AVOIDED,  COMBATIVE POLITICAL PARTIES BECOME UNNECESSARY AND CORRUPT MONEY INFLUENCE IS ELIMINATED FROM OUR NATIONAL POLITICS. HOW DO WE KNOW UNLESS WE TRY? IF WE KEEP DOING THE SAME THING, THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF INSANITY: DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT!
