Some 22% of the registered voters in the City of Tampa have dictated in the run-off elections yesterday in our fair city who will be at the helm for the next four years. We made that decision for ourselves and for the 78% who sat home on their thumbs.
Good, bad, or indifferent the city will be governed for the next four years by the people we chose. It gives me goose-bumples to think of the awesome power held by just the 22% of us.
As one who made up the 22%, I feel that I am in a position to offer my advice to the 78% who chose not to exercise their Constitutional rights yesterday. To those people I say, "For the next fours years, just sit down and shut the f--k up! You had the chance to make your voice heard, and you blew it."
Just think, people have given their lives for the right to vote. The apathy in this state is pathetic, and is one reason why we got stuck with that prick with ears in the governor's mansion. The other reason is just plain ignorance.
