"It's one of the oldest scams in the world -- it's as old as silence," an official who asked not to be named said. "It crosses political, racial, cultural, and religious lines," he added. "Politicians do it, using 'abstain.' "
According to this official the scam is not only local and national, it's international, in all countries. He pointed out that the political freedom in the United States didn't fall out of the sky, that it was established through years of men and women protesting with the written and spoken word, with their bodies being beaten -- even to death, sacrificing their very lives.
"It was not established by these damned parasites who scurry like rats from the struggle to improve the society in their own country to get to the United States and free-load and frollick in the benefits gained -- at a heavy price -- by many U.S. citizens," he said.
The official stated unequivocally that given the years of struggle it took to establish this democratic system, he associates the "non-voter" with the free-loading parasites who come here to live la dulce vida, leaving the social struggle to others in their homeland.
"It's not dangerous to vote in our country," he said. "Not like in some Islamic countries --even some Afrikan and Latin American countries -- where they send in thugs to beat and terrorize -- even shoot and use suicide murderers to kill voters. And American soldiers -- young people -- are over there in Iraq and Afghanistan dying in that ignorant, backward mess."
He concluded by saying, "A non-vote is a negative. It's a 'no,' a way of not being censured for taking a stand for or against something. And even though the 'non-voters' think they'er presenting themselves as neutral -- remember Macheavelli?" : "Never be neutral for the victor will consider you part of the spoils and the vanquished will have no room for you in his cave."
